Introduction to structured concurrency in Swift
Introduction to structured concurrency in Swift: continuations, tasks, and cancellation
14 January, 2021
This article is a part of my series about concurrency and asynchronous programming in Swift. The articles are independent, but after reading this one you might want to check out the rest of the series:
- How do closures and callbacks work? It’s turtles all the way down
- Event loops, building smooth UIs, and handling high server load
- What are generators and why Swift needs them?
- Coroutines and “yield” expressions in Swift
- Introduction to structured concurrency in Swift: continuations, tasks, and cancellation
