Wiley India Swift In The Cloud by Leigh Williamson

This book covers technical details of all aspects of creating and running Swift language applications in cloud computing environments. The techniques described combine the concepts that motivated support for cloud hosted Swift code with plenty of examples of real code that the reader can run and experiment with. The book is written by the developers who produced the support for Swift in the Cloud; written for developers as a practical guide for how to quickly create server applications using Swift and run them on pay-as-you-go cloud infrastructure.
