Le chemin de Scot Gardner vers l'écriture fut peu conventionnel, commençant non par des études formelles mais par un apprentissage en jardinage. Sa riche mosaïque d'expériences de vie, incluant des rôles de serveur, masseur, chauffeur-livreur, père au foyer, conseiller et musicien, informe profondément sa voix littéraire. Il consacre désormais la moitié de l'année à l'écriture et l'autre moitié à l'interaction avec les lecteurs et à la discussion sur l'art d'écrire en voyage, apportant une perspective unique forgée par des expériences diverses.

Reactive Programming with Swift - First Edition - Up to Date for iOS 10, Xcode 8 & RxSwift 3.2
Learn reactive programming in Swift with RxSwift! The popularity of reactive programming is rising across various platforms and languages. Rx enables developers to build applications quickly with code that is easily understood by other Rx developers, even on different platforms. This resource will guide you in using the RxSwift port to create complex reactive applications on iOS and address common design issues effectively. You'll gain full control over the library, harnessing the complete power of reactive programming in your projects. This book is tailored for iOS developers who are comfortable with iOS and Swift and wish to explore RxSwift in depth. It covers essential topics, starting with an introduction to the reactive programming paradigm, including terminology and initial usage of RxSwift in projects. You'll learn to manage asynchronous event sequences through Observables and Observers, and explore event handling via filtering, transforming, combining, and time operators. The integration of RxCocoa simplifies UI development with UIKit and Cocoa. Intermediate chapters delve into reactive networking, multi-threading, and error handling, while advanced topics include MVVM architecture, scene-based navigation, and data exposure via services. By the end, you’ll have hands-on experience tackling common issues in a reactive paradigm and be well-prepared to develop your own Rx patterns and solutions!
