The first programming book I'll buy :)

500 pages.. is that normal for programming books?

Any relation to a stable D2?

What he's not telling you is that the pages are only 10cm square ;)

That's just an estimate.

Roughly, yea. Most of the ones on my bookshelf range from 300 to 1000 pages.

It'll be quite sad if whatever the final multi-threading scheme D2 uses doesn't have a vetting period for the community to give some kind of feedback.  As far as I can tell, what we have now is about all we'll get unless something magical happens.  (I think the next dmd release will include massive fencing, but I don't think anything else is planned)

She did great work on that! I'll certainly purchase a copy when the book is in print.

Kind regards,
