December 01, 2015 Official Announcement: 'Learning D' is Released | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Due to a minor mix up at the end of an otherwise enjoyable process, I wasn't notified that 'Learning D' was released on Nov 27. Today, I finally got that notification. Despite there already being a thread on the topic here in this forum, please forgive me for taking the opportunity to make my "official" announcement :) 'Learning D' is available from the publisher's website[1], where a sample[2] can also be viewed for those who want to try before they buy. It's also available from Amazon[3]. Thanks to Walter for kindly providing a Foreword and to all the reviewers for their valuable feedback. The source will be downloadable from the publisher's website, but I intend to put up a repository on GitHub to make sure it stays up to date. I'll be posting more about the book on my blog[4] in the near future. If you know any C-family programmers who are interested in learning D, this book was written with them in mind. I hope people find it useful.

Is it just me or does the free sample link just show the first two paragraphs of each section, which are available for every section in the book? Would be nice if a whole section or two were made available.

If you create an account, you can read more of it online. I realize not everyone would want to do that. There was a discussion about releasing Chapter 3 as a free sample and publishing Chapter 6 in the 'articles' section on their site. I've asked my editor what's going on with that, as I can't find any links for either.

No idea. All I know is I got an email today saying that it was released on the 27th. It's been available for pre-order for several months now.

FWIW, I just got an email today from them that it is now published. So you aren't the only one.
The email did not mention a publishing date.
Looking forward to reading the final version! And hopefully I can track you down at a future dconf to have it signed :)

Posted in reply to Mike Parker | Sorry to steal your thunder. I assumed I wasn't keeping up. I actually went to that website because I had just noticed Kai Nacke's book announcement from July, and there was your book, at half price. I strongly recommend Learning D to anyone wanting to learn more about D. Count this as a five star review. Well worth the money. |
