Concurrency by Tutorials: Multithreading in Swift with GCD and Operations

by Ray Wenderlich, Scott Grosch

Concurrency is the concept of multiple things, or pieces of work, running at the same time. With the addition of CPU cores in our devices, knowing how to properly utilize your customer's hardware to the maximum is absolutely a must. However, proper concurrency in iOS apps is one of the lesser-known topics that every developer wants to (and should) understand properly, but is usually intimidated by. This is where Concurrency by Tutorials comes to the rescue! In this book, you’ll learn everything there is to know about how to write performant and concurrent code for your iOS apps. This book is for intermediate iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but want to learn how to make their app efficiently perform tasks without affecting performance, and how to properly divide work to utilize hardware to the fullest extent. This book is sure to make you a pro in building concurrent and performant appllications, and finally understanding how these lower-level APIs work to the fullest, pushing your app to the top! Scott Grosch has been involved with iOS app development since the first release of the public SDK from Apple, and spends his days as a Solutions Architect at a Fortune 500 companyin the Pacific Northwest.

The book gives a good structured way to learn concurrency from the beginner level. Nothing much besides that, if you're okay with reading Apple's documentation and learning by yourself you might not need this book. I was thinking this might have something extra besides Apple's documentation around concurrency.

I felt some of the material wasn’t broken down enough.
