Build solid software with modern and safe concurrency features.
Concurrency is one of the hardest problems in computer science. For
years, computer scientists and engineers have developed different
strategies for dealing with concurrency. However, the original
concurrency primitives are complicated and difficult to understand,
and even harder to implement. Using the new async/await APIs in
Swift, this book will explain how your code can abstract a lot of
the complexity with a simpler interface so you never have to deal
with concurrency primitives such as semaphores, locks, and threads
yourself. This will allow you to write concurrent code that is
easier to read, easier to write, and easier to maintain. These new
APIs are deeply ingrained into Swift, offering compile-level
features that will keep you from writing dangerous concurrent code.
You'll start by exploring why concurrency is hard to implement in a
traditional system. Explaining the definition of concurrency and
what its primitives are will help you understand why they are hard
to use correctly. These concepts will become clearer as you work
through the sample projects. The book's focus then shifts
exclusively to the new APIs, helping you understand how the
integration of the system with the language itself makes it easier
for you to write concurrent code without overstepping the bounds of
the concurrency safe zone. By the end of the book, you'll have a
solid foundation for working safely with concurrent code using the
new async/await APIs. What You'll Learn Understand concurrency and
its traditional problems Work with the new async/await API and all
its features, from the basic usage and await keywords, to task
groups and async sequences. Implement modern and safe concurrent
code that you can start using right away Who This Book Is For
Experienced iOS developers at a semi-senior or senior level.
Knowledge on the Grand Central Dispatch is a bonus, but not
required.
