This past month has been absolutely crazy.
Every Monday-Friday, we released at least one new tutorial, and every Wednesday we released a new Swift book.
In total, we had over 40 posts and 5 books released in just 1 month! This is our biggest month ever on the site, and I’m really proud of the entire team for putting this together.
But all good things must come to an end. And in the case of the iOS 8 Feast, we like to end things with a bang.
So today, we are pleased to announce the winners of our iOS 8 Feast giveaway! We have over $12,000 in value of prizes to give away – one grand prize winner, and 100 second prize winners.
Keep reading to find out who the lucky winners are, how to claim your prize if you are a lucky winner, and how to get a second chance in case you aren’t! :]

The prizes will be given away in order from those with the most overall posts on the raywenderlich.com forums to those with the least posts, in order to reward regular forum members.
