ReplyI'm looking for the greatest Dlang book ever written. There's probably only one or two though, but which one is the best.
Thanks.

D Cookbook by Adam D. Ruppe is very well received on amazon and for what I see very effective. In covers a variety of topics.
Matheus.

There's probably only one or two though, but which one is the best. Thanks. This reminds me that there is a book about D that I haven't read and have never seen mentioned here at the forums, by Victor Porton. I have no idea how we have not ever mentioned it here. I should know because I knew the book exists, yet I haven't written about it until now. At least someone has added it to the D wiki. To be frank, I don't have that high expectations of the book. The author did write a few DIPs, pull requests and blog posts here a few years ago, and in my opinion he came up as well-intentioned but somehow simple-minded. Like, if you have the misfortune to suffer from some learning disability or otherwise a bit lacking in prequisites to learn programming but still want to try learning D, maybe his explaining style is great. But for the rest of us, not so much. | |||

I don't remember hearing about him or his (self-published) book, but it's the most expensive Kindle book I've ever seen, and his bio starts with "From childhood I decided to become a great mathematician, now I am." | |||

Apparently also posts really strange stuff and claims to be a Rust developer. | |||

I recommend concentrate on Ali's and Andrei's book | |||
