Great stuff. I love how each step is detailed with the walk 
through. Liked how you showed the use of dub as well.

Yes, this is for real! Symantec has given their permission to 
relicense it. Thank you, Symantec!


I've been coding in D for years now but was unaware of this 
issue. Could someone give this licensing neophyte an explanation 
and some history?


Thanks.

Is "Diet template" a D/Vibe unique language? I can't find 
anything to contradict that view, but just wanted to sure. Every 
time I try and look it up on google, it takes me to weight loss 
stuff :)   Good name though.

Ali is much too modest in his post.  Whenever I open his book, I

Another dependency is ErupteD which I have forked myself 
because there is currently an issue with xlib-d and xcb-d with 
their versioning.




Nice work. As a person still trying to understand modern OpenGL, 
I admire your jump into Vulkan. Just a quick question if I may; 
Why did you use ErupteD over say d-vulkan or derelict-vulcan?  
From my brief perusal of all three, they all seem kind of the 
same.


Thanks.

How does that compare with previous years?

Re: Programming in D On Goodreads

[WhatMeWorry via Digitalmars-d-announce]

The dragon book is pretty much in textbook price territory (and 
it is used as one), so that's _way_ higher than your typical 
programming books costs, but $25 - $30 is still on the low end. 
Given that it's also available for free online, I suppose that 
that does change the equation a bit, since arguably, folks are 
paying primarily for what it costs to print and distribute it 
more than really paying Ali for his time and effort, but if it 
really costs that much to print and distribute it, then that's 
what it costs. And honestly, if Ali wants to make some money 
off the print version, I think that that's perfectly reasonable.

I see the dragon book has four authors.  I bet Walter Bright by 
himself could write a better one. :)
