Actually, my main recommendation is to try not to worry about it and love the GC! When it works, it really is pretty nice, and I find it works well enough in most places to be really useful.

But when it isn't right for you, then the other options come in and I showed some tricks to do it. Move semantics, for example, might not be obvious but is easy once you see the trick: disable the postblit and provide a release method. So that's the kind of stuff the chapter focuses on.

I just agreed with Packt to write a foreword for the book. -- Andrei

Just preordered the ebook, waiting to read that :)

Just downloaded the eBook version. Printed version will soon follow, I suppose. It couldn't have arrived at a better time, because I'm re-organizing and revising my code at the moment.

What do you mean?

Well that's a good thing about PDF, because you can fix it and update the version online.

Matheus.

I mean there is a lot of typo (for e.g. multiple ';' chars at the end of line, import std.stdio : writeln;;;)
on page 2,6,8,10,14 ...

On page 19:
static Vector fromPoint(float[2] point) {
import std.math;
Vector v;
float x = point[0];
float y= point[1];
v.magnitude = sqrt(x ^^ 2 + y ^^ 2);
v.direction = atan2(y, x);
return v;
}}} // this 3 brackets

Vector opBinary(string op : "+")(Vector rhs) const {
auto point = toPoint(), point2 = rhs.toPoint();
point[0] += point2[0];
point[1] += point2[1];];]; // here
return Vector.fromPoint(point);); // and here
}

That is what I  already found
