E-Books →The Curious Case of the Async Cafe An Introduction To Modern Concurrency In Swift

"I laughed, I cried, it moved me - eventually" - a fake Chat Bot review we made up
Swift's solution to asynchronous and concurrent code is now part of the language itself. The new syntax is easier to read and follow the logical flow of what in the past was complicated, fragmented, or deeply nested. With async/await you'll focus on tasks instead of threads or even queues.
"The Curious Case of the Async Cafe" is a quirky fast-paced tour of the components of modern concurrency in Swift including async, await, Tasks, using continuations to replace and wrap delegates and closure-based APIs, AsyncSequences and AsyncStreams, structured concurrency using async let and Task Groups, and, of course, actors.
Updated for Xcode 14 and Swift 5.7 and tested on Apple Silicon.
