Great Work!

I've found a type: "To simulate long-lasting operations, the following 
examples call Thread.sleep() from the std.thread module. "
Thread.sleep is in core.thread (you imported the correct module in the 
example-code)

I have to say the pdf looks great, the choice of fonts and style is
very clean and readable. Thanks!

I didn't know about the semantics of exceptions in parallel code and
yieldForce. I should have paid more attention to the docs. :)

Thank you very much! Glad to hear that it is useful but I will not 
pretend that the hyperlinks in the doc work correctly and that an index 
section is missing, etc. ;)

Me neither until I tried to write about it. :) By the way, I've improved 
that section a tiny bit: not only yieldForce but other Task functions 
throw as well.

Excellent work. I submitted this to reddit, and left the others for a 
future announcement.

You mentioned tasks, what I was missing a bit is taskPool.put, since 
Task.executeInNewThread creates a new internal Pool, which is not what 
always want. Then would be interesting how you check, if the pool's 
tasks have all finished (I didnt find any method doing this, to emulate 
this, I used an internal task-counter together with callbacks, but this 
doesnt allow me to check for exceptions ...).

Thank you David. I will add the rest of the TaskPool member functions.

Good questions for D.learn, where I will learn myself. :)

Thank you very much for the kind words. I know where it needs more work 
and keep making it better. :)

It wasn't my initial intention but I have started thinking about the 
self-publishing solutions like lulu.com. Some people complained that 
there is no way of showing appreciation by paying. :) A paper book may 
solve that problem as well.

I also love the concept of an online book. I keep correcting typos, 
rephrasing sentences, adding more material, etc. all the time. :)
