- The print version is now a hardcover (for a similar value)

A rising ebook for a rising language
Updating the ebook all the time seems to be extra work than I count on. Swift has grown considerably since our final launch (for Swift 5.0), and the scale of the ebook displays this. The fifth version is 76 % longer than the primary version from 2016. This time, we barely stayed beneath 1 million characters:
Many due to our editor, Natalye, for studying all this and enhancing our Dutch/German dialect of English.
Hardcover
For the primary time, the print version is available in hardcover (for a similar value). Having the ability to supply this makes me very glad. The hardcover ebook seems to be a lot better and is extra more likely to keep open when laid flat on a desk.
We additionally elevated the web page dimension from 15×23 cm (6×9 in) to 18×25 cm (7×10 in) to maintain the web page depend manageable (Amazon’s print on demand service limits hardcover books to 550 pages).
I hope you take pleasure in the brand new version. For those who determine to purchase the ebook or should you purchased it up to now, thanks very a lot! And should you’re keen to jot down a evaluate on Amazon, we’d respect it.
