By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web applications.

Packt seem to have caught some sort of wave at the moment with D related books.

Though from my experience of correspondence with then they seem to work a bit backwards.

Hope you enjoyed writing.
