to "leverage" this as part of the campaign to show that C++ is a 20th
century language and D a 21st century one.

I am happy to co-author if that helps. ASCIIDoctor the only source form
usable though.

CVu is for ACCU members only but Overload is freely available online as 
well (both are actually print magazines):

   http://accu.org/index.php/journal

Quoting from the most-recent Overload PDF:

   http://accu.org/index.php/journals/c78/

"All articles intended for publication in Overload 131 should be 
submitted by 1st January 2016 and those for Overload 132 by 1st March 2016."

I have the book with me, I just haven't read it yet. I will be
submitting a review though. Maybe I should do one for other new-ish D
books all at the same time so we can have them appear around the ACCU
2016 conference.

BTW Any preferences as to what to do with the other two copies? I was
wondering about handing them out at ACCU 2016 as prizes for something
or other.

Thank you! That sounds great. Or you can do anything else that you want 
with them. Maybe you know someone that is interested in D; you can give 
it to them. Or put it around at a company where people will see and grab 
it to flip through the pages... They are just marketing expense for me. :)

Anything to do with programming that a professional programmer would be
interested. CVu is the membership magazine/journal of ACCU but does a
lot of technical content. Overload was the magazine/journal that tended
to be C++ focussed but there is a move to make it have wider content.

I have just submitted an article on Spock (Groovy implemented testing
framework for the JVM) for Overload, and am about to read a book on D
and do a review for CVu. Article was about 3000 words plus code. Not
sure how long the book review will be.
=C2=A0

 How long?


Articles of many different lengths are good. Generally 1500 to 4500
words I think.


 What are the deadlines?


The two journals are every other month interleaved so there is a
journal every month. So there is always another deadline to aim for. :-
)

I feel an article about how crap C++ is at doing concurrency and
parallelism and how good Go and Rust are. D sadly sits in the middle.
Dataflow for the win!
