I've been thinking on getting that for a while now. How up to date is it?
I think it is mostly in a good state. There are a few errata and some
unmentioned features because D is/was somewhat of a moving/improving
target. On the other hand, many recent bug fixes were targeted at making
the implementation consistent with the specification in TDPL.
Or does it explain such general concepts that I shouldn't be worried
about that at all?
I don't think you need to be worried, just be prepared that a few code
samples may not compile without minimal fixes.
Everyone seems to be recommending it so I don't see
why I shouldn't get it. A free university period is also coming up, so that
might be a great way to spend my available time.
Indeed. When I read it, I have found my time well spent. It is very well
written.
I'm definitely serious about learning and using D. I've been impressed with
it since I first saw it and I intend to do as much work with it as possible.
I'm not _doing_ any serious work with it yet, though. In fact, none of the work
I do could be considered very serious at all. :)
