D Programming Language on Safari


Andrei’s forthcoming book, The D Programming Language, is finally available on Safari Rough Cuts. Members of Safari will have seen this already in the latest email from the service. If you aren’t yet a member, I recommend that you sign up. Then you’ll be able to access the Rough Cuts and follow Andrei’s book as it is developed, in addition to having access to the full Safari online library.

Don’t expect much, just yet. I’ve taken a look and the book really is rough. But I’m already looking forward to seeing it fleshed out.

The Case For D


Andrei has an article up at DDJ on the goodness of D. Given his reputation in the C++ world, be sure to point any naysayers that way. When Average Joe, and sometimes even Walter, sings the praises of D, he doesn’t attract the right people and is ruthlessly torn to pieces by those who do bother to read. Andrei’s reputation should at least get people to actually give some consideration to what he’s written. The comments in the Reddit thread are already largely positive.
