Little over a year ago I held a tech talk at Microsoft about how I used D to write readable COM code. A while back I thought I'd try to get permission to share these slides, and what'dya know:

Direct link to the slides: http://lunesu.com/uploads/ModernCOMProgramminginD.pptx

Let me know what you guys think!

I'd like to link to this.

But first, please turn the slides into a single .pdf file! Or html. Something browser friendly.

Could you correct the URL of your files on the last page?

Congratulations Lionello, This is not just a useful snippet. You have been able to explain all the D2 goodies in a reasonable context.

This code should have a home and live at "Fine_Art_Of_D2_Programming.com"
Very well done!
Thank You, Bjoern

I have some questions related to this.

One, do you know about Juno?
http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno
New Source location: https://github.com/he-the-great/Juno-Windows-Class-Library

Two, how does your work compare? Are these improvements that could go into Juno?

Three, you may be interested to know about tlbimpd: http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno/wiki/TypeLibraryImporter

I revived the project for D2, but Richard Webb has actually done the work to make it usable. Wondering if effort on this could be consolidated and as brought up in the reddit comments maybe work could go towards WinRT support?

Great presentation material though. Thank you for having done so.

Yeah, that's not meant to work. Releasing the source code it a entirely different process that I don't think is worth it. I'll remove the link from the slide.
