Elements of containers (and pseudo-containers) are accessed by the range abstraction of D. D's InputRange, ForwardRange, BidirectionalRange, RandomAccessRange, and OutputRange are sufficient to connect many types of containers and many types of algorithms.

Most modules of Phobos, including std.range, provide algorithms and ranges that make programs consistent, fast, and easy to maintain.

Great! :) Walter, there is a typo in my last name and it's not the first letter. ;)

OOPS! Fixed.

What's the Unicode number for the first letter, so I can fix that, too? Is there an entity name for it?

According to this

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    writefln("%x", 'Ç');
}


it's \u00c7.

Having .d files be able to be UTF-8 combined with unicode support built into the language itself can be _very_ handy.

Thanks! Checking it out, there's an entity for it:

   Ç

Fixed the web pages.

I also love D's support for entities: http://dlang.org/entity.html

I'm amazed this is not adopted by other languages. It is so damned convenient.

Thanks but the misspelling has overpowered the correct one: Now both the Speakers and the Sessions page has the wrong name! :D

Also, there is a rogue "Ddoc" at the end of the speaker bio.

About the letter, if you are using ddoc as I suspect, just copy paste the Ç into the ddoc source file. Both D and ddoc support Unicode. ;)

Alas! Someday, I might get this right. Fixed.

I generally prefer using named entities, as some of my programs cannot deal with non-ascii.

I've also had trouble with copy-pasta of these things, because I'll get the hex value for some random code page, rather than the Unicode code point.

Also please make sure the "C" has a cedilla.
