Swift apps with REST APIs (ebook)

Author here, AMA.

- I wrote the book using LeanPub which was a pretty good experience, especially if you're used to Markdown and Git

- Updating for Swift 2.0 the day before it was released wasn't too awful

- Sales have been about $1000 in 2 days

- So far about 70% of sales are from 2 emails lists: one from my blog at grokswift.com and the pre-release interest list on LeanPub. I sent a few lead up emails, a coming soon email on Monday night, a 15% discount at launch on Tuesday morning, and a reminder late on Tuesday.

- Posting to a Slack iOS developer group with a few thousand members where I'm pretty active only resulted in 2 sales. Same for a handful of Twitter posts and direct traffic from grokswift.com/book

Here's a ~30% discount: https://leanpub.com/iosappswithrest/c/hackernews
