In my opinion, if you are a beginner programmer I'd go with Ali's. If intermediate, I would suggest Learning D by Mike Parker. And if you want some cool idioms and advanced techniques, I'd go with Adam Ruppe's book.
Hope the authors agree with my assessment :) They are all good in their own way.

As someone who already knows several programming languages, I found Andrei's "The D Programming Language" to be fantastic, because it explained D very well without explaining stuff like what a variable or a for loop were. It just told you how to program in D. There are a few things in it which are out of date (e.g. it was written before we relaxed purity to work with non-immutable arguments), and a couple of items in it have never been implemented (multiple alias this and synchronized classes), but overall, it's still very much applicable and extremely well written. And personally, I just _really_ liked the fact that it wasn't trying to teach me how to program in general like so many intro books do. If you're looking for something that assumes less about your ability to program in general, then Ali's "Programming in D" is probably a better. It also covers some stuff that Andrei's book doesn't (and it's far newer). But there are several books to choose from, and the list keeps growing: https://wiki.dlang.org/Books - Jonathan M Davis |

This one is good too : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/d_programming/d_programming_pdf_version.htm Not as good as Andrei or Ali's book, but still good enough for both beginner and experienced programmers, and you can download it quickly and easily for free (or a few dollars if you want to pay them for their good work). Hence my suggestion to promote it more like the four official books you can buy... |
