Do you mean low-level code like drivers?

Oh no! Now, I'll have yet another programming book that I'll have trouble getting around to reading... ;)

This is great news. Congrats!

Sort of. This chapter is one of the ones not yet written, but my plan is to show how to boot to a D program and interface (in a minimal way) with the keyboard (requires an interrupt handler) and screen (which is memory-mapped).

A lot of drivers use those same principles, so the stuff could apply there too, but for a real situation you'll need to use more care than I intend to take.

BTW I'll probably be talking about these things the the dconf too.

I've just pre-ordered it, on Amazon. ;)
Hurry up! :)

Looking foward.

Already planned to translate it into German? :P

Packt is having a 1/2 price ebooks sale, so if you haven't gotten this yet, now would be the time.  I just did.

Aye, and I just finished the first draft this week, now doing the second draft and it is moving along at an excellent pace, I'm pretty sure we're going to release earlier than expected on the website.

BTW it now has a cover image, that's a painting my brother did called "View from Phobos", seemed appropriate :P
