Why not writing a book about D, Jarrett ? The MiniD documents are excellent.
In fact you, respective what you write, reminds me to Jesse Liberty + Humor.
(well,... maybe C++ in 21 days was already a joke) but nevertheless Jesse's
book was a kind of eye opener to me simply because it shows that is IS
possible to explain difficult stuff in a smart way.
It's funny you mention Jesse Liberty's C++ in 21 days. Guess what was
the first programming book I ever read? ;) Maybe it influenced me?
I would bet on it.
NO You are kidding me.
So why not JB on D...?
In case of doubt : I am willing to send you a bottle of fine Cognac to give
the book a very first go. (not kidding)
It'd certainly be an interesting proposition. I also don't know if
writing a book on D _now_ is the best idea. If it were based on D1,
it might just be obsolete in two or three years. If it were based on
D2, well, Andrei has a much better idea of where it's going than I do,
and I also doubt Phobos2 has seen the last major changes. But maybe
in a bit, when things settle down. I can see a D2-Phobos2 based book
next year-ish being much more solid.
Well the Cognac can wait and becomes better, not that sure about you...
:) However, a promise is a promise. Just marked one with Jarret. (Hint
for me ' don't touch)
However, guess like anybody else, I just can say: Thanks for this
interesting new language.
Sure!
No seriously.
