I have continued with the translation of the book. There are 36 of the 727 pages still to be translated. (However, I still need to write the UDA chapter.)

In addition to many corrections and additions throughout the book, there are the following chapters translated:

* Tuples
* More Templates
* More Functions
* Mixins
* More Ranges

As a reminder, the book is available as PDF, downloadable from the header of each chapter:

No Kindle or Lulu versions yet.

Fantastic, I appreciate your efforts! Your book has been a very useful resource for me.

That's fantastic, Ali, thanks and many congratulations! :-)

One small linguistic note -- in the "More Ranges" chapter, it may be better to call your example range "Opposite" rather than "Inverse".  In a strict mathematical sense you're correct -- swapping sign gives you the additive inverse -- but in a more colloquial sense the term "inverse" is usually in English assumed to be the multiplicative inverse.

This is to an extent a matter of taste, of course, so feel free to ignore me.

"Converse"? (Haven't read the section discussed.)

Could also work.  The range in question wraps an input range r and sets front to return -r.front.

I spent considerable amount of time on those names. Like you, I am not happy with Inverse. :)

I wanted to say struct Negate and function negate(). But ! is the negation operator.

I like opposite better but the Wikipedia article calls it "additive inverse" so inverse is still acceptable, I guess? :)

Thanks for all your hard work, Ali.

I believe having a set of up to date references, tutorials, and
books are paramount to the further adoption and success of D as a
programming language.

I eagerly await it becoming a great portal for people wanting to learn more about D. And, hopefully, going on to write high quality libraries I can use. :-)

Thanks a lot!
I wouldn't have considered D language without this book.
