Learn Modern Swift Concurrency! For years, writing powerful and safe concurrent apps with Swift could easily turn into a daunting task, full of race conditions and unexplained crashes hidden in a massive nesting of callback closures. In Swift 5.5, Apple introduced a new concurrency model featuring the async/await syntax, which lets you write asynchronous code that reads like synchronous code. But like any new feature, here be dragons! So how will you achieve the much-desired mastery of modern Swift concurrency? Modern Concurrency in Swift comes to the rescue, showcasing what you need to know about async/await, tasks, actors and everything in between! Who This Book Is For This book is for intermediate Swift developers who are familiar with writing asynchronous applications and who want to leverage the concurrency features Apple introduced in Swift 5.5 and its evolution throughout the years, to write safer and more predictable asynchronous apps. Topics Covered in Modern Concurrency in Swift Using async/await: Learn how to use the new async/await keywords to define and run asynchronous work. Actors: Find out how to use the actor model to easily protect shared mutable state in a synchronized container. Tasks: You'll dive deeper into the Task type, which powers all asynchronous tasks in Swift's modern concurrency model. Task Groups: Use a Task Group to group multiple tasks together and run them concurrently, while using a familiar Array-like syntax to iterate over the results. Custom Asynchronous Sequences: Leverage the power of async/await in your own asynchronous work, by learning how to create custom AsyncStreams. Testing Asynchronous Code: Asynchronous code can be a challenging beast to test. You'll learn everything you need to tackle this challenge. One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you'll be prepared to leverage Swift's new concurrency features in your app to write safe, performant and predictable asynchronous code.

Learn Reactive Programming in Swift with RxSwift!The popularity of reactive programming continues to grow on an every-increasing number of platforms and languages. Rx lets developers easily and quickly build apps with code that can be understood by other Rx developers - even over different platforms.Not only will you learn how to use the RxSwift port to create complex reactive applications on iOS, you'll also see how to easily solve common application design issues by using RxSwift. Finally you'll discover how to exercise full control over the library and leverage the full power of reactive programming in your apps.This books is for iOS developers who already feel comfortable with iOS and Swift, and want to dive deep into development with RxSwift.Topics Covered in RxSwift:- Getting Started: Get an introduction to the reactive programming paradigm, learn the terminology involved and see how to begin using RxSwift in your projects.- Event Management: Learn how to handle asynchronous event sequences via two key concepts in Rx - Observables and Observers.- Being Selective: See how to work with various events using concepts such as filtering, transforming, combining, and time operators.- UI Development: RxSwift makes it easy to work with UI of your apps using RXCocoa, which provides integration of both UIKit and Cocoa.- Intermediate Topics: Level up your RxSwift knowledge with chapters on reactive networking, multi-threading, and error handling.And much, much more!By the end of this book, you'll have hands-on experience solving common issues in a reactive paradigm - and you'l be well on your way to coming up with your own Rx patterns and solutions!

Dive into Combine! Writing asynchronous code can be challenging, with a variety of possible interfaces to represent, perform, and consume asynchronous work - delegates, notification center, KVO, closures, etc. Juggling all of these different mechanisms can be somewhat overwhelming. Does it have to be this hard? Not anymore! In this book, you'll learn about Combine - Apple's framework to work with asynchronous events in a unified and reactive way that ensures your app is always up to date based on the latest state of its data. Who This Book Is For This book is for intermediate iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but are interested in learning declarative/reactive programming and take their app and state management to the next level. You'll also find this book interesting if you're interested in SwiftUI - as many of the reactive capabilities keeping your SwiftUI views up-to-date are built on top of Combine. Topics Covered in Combine: Asynchronous Programming with Swift What & Why: Learn what is Combine and reactive programming and the problems they solve, and how you can unify all of your asynchronous piece of work. Operators: Learn how to compose, transform, filter and otherwise manipulate different pieces of asynchronous work using operators. In Practice: You'll gain knowledge on various topics and techniques you'll leverage when writing your own real-life apps, as well as practice these techniques with actual hands-on apps and projects. SwiftUI: You'll learn about how Combine is deeply rooted within SwiftUI and provides it with the ability to reactively update its views based on the state of your app. Advanced Combine: Once you've got a handle on the basics, you'll dive into advanced Combine topics such as Error Handling, Schedulers, and Custom Publishers. By the end of this book, you'll be a pro in building full-fledged applications using Combine's various abilities.
