Threading is a crucial aspect of iOS development, enabling concurrent execution of tasks to improve app performance and responsiveness. This repository aims to demystify threading concepts, providing clear explanations and practical examples.
Learn the fundamentals of threading, including the importance of concurrency, the main thread, and background threads.
Explore the power of dispatch queues, Apple's high-level API for managing the execution of work items. Understand how to use serial and concurrent queues effectively.
Dive into the Operation Queue framework, which builds on top of Grand Central Dispatch to provide a more object-oriented approach to managing tasks.
Discover Grand Central Dispatch, Apple's low-level API for managing tasks and executing them concurrently. Learn how to utilize dispatch queues and dispatch groups.
Master the usage of Dispatch Groups to synchronize multiple tasks and get notified when they are all complete.
Understand the concept of nested closures and how they play a crucial role in asynchronous programming.
Explore the use of semaphores to control access to resources and prevent race conditions.
Identify and address race conditions, a common issue in multi-threaded programming.
Learn about deadlocks and strategies to avoid them, ensuring the smooth execution of your code.
Introduce the actor keyword, a Swift concurrency feature for managing shared mutable states.
Explore the modern async/await paradigm in Swift, simplifying asynchronous code and enhancing readability.
Each concept is accompanied by code examples, explanations, and best practices. Feel free to explore the folders and files in this repository to gain a deeper understanding of iOS threading.
