It is a Turkish D2 book.

I know that this news is not very useful for the members of this forum, but I am proud to announce that my D book targeting the Turkish reader is almost complete.

It is for the novice programmer. Complete with exercises and solutions, it starts with the assignment operator and gradually builds other concepts. (I must say that D is an easy language to teach to novice programmers.)

Since starting in July 2009, I've been making the chapters freely available at http://ddili.org/ders/d/

The free pdf version is around 520 pages these days.

After finishing the final two chapters, I will get back to bringing the information up to date, e.g. the new operator overloading syntax should replace the old one.

On a personal note, as far as I know, this book has been the first in computer technology where Turkish precedes any similar work in English. :)

Thank you,
Ali

This is great work, and thanks for adding the google translator widget too! I put a link http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/index.html and on http://twitter.com/D_Programming

Congratulations! :)

Ali Cehreli is actually a master for me. I've learnt D from the book he wrote. His book doesn't only covers D and everything in and about D but also contains lots of things about programming and c++. I appreciate his work. If by any chance D would be a popular language in Turkey, this will be just because of him and his efforts.

Thanks Ali.

Hi Ali,
Excellent work. The automated Turkish-English Google translation is remarkable readable.

I also gave Turkish-German a try... A disaster :) Finally Turkish-French, which is also a disaster. Main reason is that the code snippets are translated too.

I can't fully agree. :)

That's more like it... ;)

I learned that "class=notranslate" would prevent the translation:

  http://translate.google.com/support/

The source code sections are generated by ddoc. I should be able to add "class=notranslate" to the keywords only; as the translated variable names would still be useful.
