Programming in D

Rate this book
D is a language with C-like syntax and static typing. It pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and programmer productivity.

Programming in D, by Ali Çehreli, is an introduction and complete reference to the D programming language. Covering almost every language feature in D, Programming in D starts with the famous Hello World program, and then goes on to explain structs, classes, interfaces, conditional compilation, contracts, ranges, concurrency, and much more. Each section is ended with a series of exercises, based on real world problems, that force you to completely understand the subject of the chapter before moving on.

I wanted to learn the D programming language. I started reading the book and trying the examples by writing short programs. The language is a compiled language and binary compatible with C. It is what C++ had to be. A fact is that the Facebook C++ preprocessor is written in D by the author of the language - Walter G. Bright.
For me it feels a lot like Perl. It has all the basic data types like a scripting language, but t is strongly typed.

One of the best programming tutorials I've read. It explains things really clearly and simply, without fanfare. It manages to be thorough and concise at the same time.

It starts out as a basic programming textbook for beginners, but as the book advances, it slowly becomes more advanced. Everything is sectioned off nicely, which allows it to double as a reference book for the D programming language.

This is a great book. Good for both linear progress or reference. Clear explanations and good examples.

The D language itself is a beauty. Very practical and innovative. There are features in D that I haven't seen in other languages. The tooling and package ecosystem seems to be improving, but I'm still struggling with IDE integration.

Every programmer should leaf through this book , and take a look at this language.

This book is indispensable. I always have it open in a tab for reference while I program in D, and am proud to now own a physical copy!

A good programming language manual makes you program better in all languages, not just the one it's about. This is one of these manuals.
