Hi all! Did you notice that development of LDC has been a bit slowly in the past? The reason is my book D Web Development, available now for pre-order: https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/d-web-development The story behind the book: Some time after the review of the "D Cookbook" I was asked by Packt Publishing if I would be interested in writing a book about web development with D. By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web applications. For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I am having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating examples and writing about it. I learned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-) A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or the other. Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the rework due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be patient if fixing LDC bugs takes some more time as usual. Regards, Kai

As I have all the books/hardcopies from http://wiki.dlang.org/Books, I had to pre-order your coming book as well... and did so just now. It's not like I'm a Dlang programmer and I guess I'll never do real world "D [Web] Development", but buying the D books is my way of supporting Dlang and especially those of this great community who spend their valuable time for the hardest part of programming/development... which is writing usable documentation and/or books! From now on, I'm waiting for my Christmas 2015 gift ;) Thanks for doing this! Btw., Ali: I'm would still love to buy the best ever Dlang book/documentation/reference, which for me is your (and/or the Turkish Dlang communities) "Programming in D" bible! Well, if you could make it my birthday present (end of May ;) )... Regards notna

Another piece is that they may feel, rightly or wrongly, that they don't have much to contribute to ebook sales, so they use such weird pricing to try and suppress pure ebook sales alone, because someday they will go out of business if they just sell ebooks.

The reason is my book D Web Development, available now for pre-order: https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/d-web-development The story behind the book: Some time after the review of the "D Cookbook" I was asked by Packt Publishing if I would be interested in writing a book about web development with D. By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web applications. For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I am having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating examples and writing about it. I learned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-) A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or the other. Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the rework due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be patient if fixing LDC bugs takes some more time as usual. Regards, Kai

That's a great offer but unfortunately a bit late. I am currently reworking the last chapter. Publication date is near...
