Digging deeper into GCD's API
- [Instructor] Grand Central Dispatch is fast, helpful, and necessary. And it has never been more important to learn how to wield its power. Now that you have completed the course, you can enhance this knowledge by checking out Operations and OperationQueues, which is another API built on top of GCD that helps you run your work concurrently. Operations come with great features, such as canceling or running operation. You can add or remove dependencies for an operation. You can also add observers to your operations. Remember to also check out your past applications, and see how you can make them better and/or faster GCD. I really enjoyed creating this course for you, and I'm sure you have learnt a lot about Grand Central Dispatch, and how you can apply it in your next app. You can connect with me on LinkedIn or Twitter, share your experiences implementing GCD in your apps.
