RAOperationQueue, an open-source replacement for NSOperationQueue

by Mike Ash

The other day I posted about how NSOperationQueue is broken and can't be used. At Rogue Amoeba we liked the API so much we decided to create a non-broken version, so we've released RAOperationQueue. It's not a 100% replacement, as it has some significant limitations (and some benefits) compared to NSOperationQueue, but we've found it to be very useful. For more information, click the link above.

Did you enjoy this article? I'm selling whole books full of them! Volumes II and III are now out! They're available as ePub, PDF, print, and on iBooks and Kindle. Click here for more information.

Nice work Mike. Hopefully you will save lots of people, a lot of time.

Thanks, Mike, and thanks Rogue Amoeba!
