I have been translating my Turkish D book "D Programlama Dili" to English under the title "Programming in D". I have decided to make its current state available online:

  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html

I will make more chapters available as they get translated.

As the book is for the novice programmer, the chapters that have been translated so far will not be very interesting to you. For that reason, I have decided to skip a number of chapters and translate two from the later ones as well:

Exceptions:

  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/exceptions.html

Ranges:

  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/ranges.html

I hadn't known that my English was so poor. :) Please be patient; the text is being edited by an expert English speaker and will continuously be updated as it gets corrected.

I welcome any feedback at acehreli@yahoo.com and of course here.

Thank you,
Ali

This is great news! We definitely need more literature on D.

Great work!

I also strongly suggest doing a Kindle version as well, even if you keep a free html version on the web. Having more D books on Amazon will help raise the profile of D.

Great work! Yes, offer a kindle version for 79 EUR and upload a free pdf version in the name of a famous release group on usenet, torrent and several warez site. I promise you, that you'll spread the world.

Amazing stuff Ali!!

I agree with Walter on this one. I would prefer the EPUB though... :)
The author deserves some extra cache for the effort anyway. I would buy the
book just for the sake of supporting such efforts.

@Ali:
If I may suggest, take a look at lulu.com - there you can actually make a
printed copy of the book, and sell it.

I have continued the translation and added the following chapters:

  * Floating Point Types
  * Arrays
  * Characters
  * Slices and Other Array Features
  * Strings

I have translated the following chapter as well, out of order:

  * Templates

Looks good. :-)

Good news! ;-)

Hi Ali,
Why not 1) just translate the example code into English. 2) Google Translate the text and 3) ask the native English speaking D community for a helping hand.
IMO the GOOGLE Turkish to English translation is translatable into readable English, without too much effort :)

So instead of wasting time with manual translation,  keep your book in sync with D2, add some examples..  It's an excellent book about D2 (and beside an exercise on how to write programming books in general)
A+
