This is really great that you keep this important source of 
information on D and on programming-in-general up-to-date. Good 
luck with the further adaptations/changes as the D language 
evolves!

I will have time soon to do that and this time I *think* the index 
section will be correct. :)

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your book - it is the definitive go-to resource for D 
newcomers as well as "refresher" reference for part time D 
programmers like myself.

The fact that you keep it up to date (if even only the e-copy 
release), is also a huge plus for us.

But, if I can maybe ask/recommend - is it possible to add a 
RevisionHistory on your ddili.org site?

In fact, your announcement details in this announcement would be 
perfect as the content for this release. So, since you write 
these announcements anyway, hopefully not a lot of work... ;-)

Also, I don't think anyone would expect you do this for every 
revision since the 1st one, even from the current Revision 
onward, but updated for every new revision in the future, would 
already be great.

The reason I am asking is that it is sometimes difficult to know 
if you have updated some part/section/chapter of your book with 
some recent changes to the language/runtime/Phobos.

I think this will be super useful since it is used by myself and 
others as a kind of "Quick-Reference" book to D now. This is not 
as critical for most of the other books (Adam's Cookbook, Kai's 
Web Dev book, etc), since they don't attempt to cover the 
language in full and hence do not have the same "reference" 
aspect your book does. I know Andrei's TDPL book is supposed to 
be the definitive reference (and I do have a copy), but it is now 
quite out-of-date!

But, most of all, thanks for a super-useful book!

Ok, I should be able to do that by browsing the book's repo history even 
for past revisions:

   https://bitbucket.org/acehreli/ddili/commits/all


 as a kind of "Quick-Reference" book to D now


I'm not sure whether it's known by others but I find the online index 
section very useful (yes, I use that site as well ;) ):

   http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/ix.html

(The entry for %, is currently missing because there's a bug with adding 
it with a ddoc macro as $(IX %,), which is understandable but I did not 
debug it yet.)


 thanks for a super-useful book!


Thank you! :)

Thanks for also providing this book as a free download.

It's THE perfect book both for people who are learning to program 
for the first time as for experience developers who are just 
learning the D language !
