A little secret for y'all...

Last week I wrote about the update for Practical Swift Concurrency that was still in progress. Today, I'm happy to tell you that the update is completed and available for download.

The Swift 6 version of Practical Swift Concurrency is available to download for free for all people that have already bought the book. If you don't have the book yet and you've been holding out for the Swift 6 release now is your time to go grab it.

I'm happy to tell you that my Black Friday sale has quietly started so you can actually get the book with 20% off using code BF2024. This code will work for any of my books so you can either click the link right here to go directly to the Practical Swift Concurrency page or you can go to my books page to see all of my books and the concurrency course.

Use code BF2024 at checkout and you will get 20% off, easy as that. I’m not promoting my sale untill next week so for now it’ll be our secret.

Workshops

As for what’s keeping my busy this week, I’m currently working on my workshops. I've got two Swift Concurrency workshops planned before the end of the year and in December I'm hosting a SwiftUI workshop publicly that you can get tickets for.

For the new year I'm looking into new topics to cover.

For example, I would like to have a workshop on Swift testing. I would like to have my workshop on Swift concurrency a bunch more times, and I’m looking for a third topic. Maybe Swift Data makes sense, or maybe something else.

I'm not quite sure yet what will make the most sense so if you have any ideas of what you would love to learn more about I would love to hear your ideas.

There are a couple of topics that I might want to try for next year with my workshops and I'm looking to plan everything up until April or May in the upcoming few weeks so any topic requests are more than welcome.

If you're interested in attending one of my workshops next year, you'll want to take a look at my workshops page regularly or stay subscribed to the newsletter because I will definitely be telling you about the workshops I have planned.

Wrapping up the year

The end of the year is always a bit of a weird time for me because it's a time where I'm reflecting on how the year went while also planning my next steps.

It's a time where I'm looking at my numbers, I’m looking at what I want to do next year, and it's a time where I figure out what works what doesn't work. I usually start doing this in November so I have a good sense of my plans by the time I go on a break for the holidays.

How do you like to wrap up your year?

Do you do any sort of reflection? Do you plan out things that you want to do and achieve beforehand or do you kind of just see how things go?

I would love to hear about your process if you have one and if you don't have a process I would love to hear that too so make sure to reply to this email because I love getting messages from y’all!

See you next week,

Donny

🎶 Currently on repeat 🎶

If you follow me on Twitter you probably know that I play guitar. I'm a huge music lover and want to share this with you. In this section I will share a new album that I've been enjoying a lot every week.

TX2 - Cruel World I’m sure this week’s recommendation won’t be for everybody but I’ve been enjoying this EP a lot. I hadn’t heard of this artist before it showed up in my Spotify recommendations and I’m honestly quite glad it did 😁 Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Music
