- IM (9/9) Oct 31 2018 Does anybody have a plan to write a book titled "Effective D";
- Atila Neves (2/11) Nov 01 2018 I started jotting down ideas for an Effective D book.
- Guillaume Piolat (12/14) Nov 01 2018 Not a book, but I've written 70+ articles here:
- IM (5/19) Nov 01 2018 Just checked the list of topics. Indeed seems very useful. I need
- Stefan Koch (4/13) Nov 01 2018 I think the point of D is that one would not need such a book.
- Atila Neves (3/19) Nov 02 2018 I agree that's the point of D, but the reality is that gotchas
- jmh530 (3/6) Nov 02 2018 Of course, Effective C++ covers more than just how to avoid
- AlCaponeJr (5/5) Nov 02 2018 A book that I'd like to see, would be one with famous C/C++
- welkam (2/4) Nov 02 2018 I see no problem with this.
Does anybody have a plan to write a book titled "Effective D"; similar to Effective Java, and Effective C++? In particular, I'm interested in seeing a book that contains super advanced tips on how to use D effectively to achieve highly performanant, flexible, maintainable, and safe code. I mean the kind of book that someone at WekaIO or Sociomantic would have enough knowledge, experience, and a proven D-based product to write such book. I'd definitely buy this book. I'd even donate to make it happen.

Effective D without the haircut. The problem of "Effective D" is that: - usage cases are still being discovered, you are making up the culture as you go - it's not clear the language have enough accidental complexity to fill entire series of books. If D would add complexity we could have our own "50 tips for your D team at scale". I'm hopeful for all the new DIPs to bring a bit more confusion.

In sociomantc and weka-io, I'd think it's less about D and more about knowing the quirks of the linux kernel.

A book that I'd like to see, would be one with famous C/C++ algorithms converted to D showing the advantages of this language. Because sometimes I write D but my code seems pretty much like the other languages. Al.
