The project is almost complete, but our lead developer is leaving us. I'd be looking for an experienced D developer to take over the project and give it its final touches. The previous developer would be there to provide guidance to decrease learning curve. No pressure; part time; work from whatever location. If interested, please drop me a line @ davidgil...@me.com. Thanks! I've posted information about this position on LinkedIn, DDN (D Developer Network) group: https://www.linkedin.com/grp/home?gid=3923820 . Where is this position? (What country? city?)
Re: Learning D Available for Pre-Order
Good news! I've just shared the info on our LinkedIn group. :)

Go has stability, is production ready and has an ecosystem with commercial value. D lacks all of these atm... Not to mention that Go is in GCC for a very long time already... :) I never liked the language much (I think Erlang or Scala are definitely better choices than Go), but it is in a much better shape than D (unless you want to use stable D1).

They would not blame D community for this article, but the person who wrote it. - It is not tagged Opinion for no reason !! My personal opinion about the article - people may hate D equally for being too pragmatic. That `source.byLine.join.to!(string);` line for example, takes much longer time to understand than 20 lines of Go code. Any D newbie with knowledge of some modern language will struggle understanding (and being 100% sure that he/she understands!) that line of D code. I could give a big list of things where Go has advantage over D. What I found pathetic is that Go community used list of established open-source projects done in Go. :) But OK, we expected that, did we?

I'm trying dub at the moment and it's working perfectly fine so far as a build tool. The alternatives, such as CMake and SCons, are proven technologies with D support that have also worked for me in the past. Can I ask what the existing tools were missing and why did you felt it necessary to reinvented your own build tool? Thanks, uri Then try waf as well. :) https://code.google.com/p/waf/
Re: dsource.org moved
I think DSource should not be shut down, but instead modernised and open for new D-based projects. We, old D programmers, just love DSource! :)

No, *thank you*! - For the great work you've done! :)

I chose epub and mobi just because I thought that they are the most common formats. Just let me know if you need another format or simply use 'calibre' or another tool yourself. :) 2) There has been a lot of work to make the book ready for its first print edition. (I will spare you the details of countless hours of extra work that went into this eternal final step.) The PDF version finally looks a lot like a real book: * There is a Table of Contents section * There is an Index section * The internal links work 3) There are two new chapters: * Lvalues and Rvalues * Nested Functions, Structs, and Classes 4) There are the following notable additions to existing chapters: * 'pragma' is added to the Templates chapter * Special keywords are added to the Templates chapter (__FILE__, __LINE__, etc.) * Contract inheritance is added to the 'Contract Programming for Structs and Classes' chapter * The .offsetof property and the 'align' atribute are added to the 'Memory Management' chapter 5) I am grateful to Andrej Mitrović, Steven Schveighoffer, and Luís Marques, who accepted to edit the book. However, they are through only less than 10% of the book so far. As always, current or future mistakes are mine. :) Ali Well done, Ali - I will buy the ePub once the book is done. One suggestion: if you can, do what Ivan Ristic does with his SSL/TLS books (https://www.feistyduck.com). Basically, people who buy his books have unlimited access to book updates. Ivan is sending information about book updates whenever there is something new, so we readers can go back to the website and grab the latest version of the book. I think this is a much better approach than book editions, as they may appear years after each other... Sure, it is more complicated, but I think it pays off, and I do not mind book being little bit more expensive if I can access updated version of it. Cheers!
Re: Programming in D book, draft of the first print edition and eBook formats
One more thing - if you have the book in some wiki form, it may be a good idea to transform it into AsciiDoc as it has really nice ePub/PDF/HTML output.

It had to happen. :) Today, the LinkedIn group ( http://www.linkedin.com/groups/D-Developer-Network-3923820 ) reached over 1000 members. Time to celebrate! (Though I honestly hope at lest 1/4 of those people actually use D professionally...) PS. Those of you who prefer XING, we have D groups there too.

Agreed. Who would like to volunteer being our webmaster? We'll discuss with our admin to give push rights. -- Andrei As I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, I need access. I did the update for every beta/RC. This one was not an oversight, I intentionally did not update the page. Given the right to push the update, I will, But I'm not going to sit around creating pull requests for one a line delete or one character edit and the wait 24hour+ for it to be published before I can proceed with what I'm doing. Then again, if that's required is a cronjob as Brad has suggested, then I guess the problem is solved. I was waiting few days for someone to update the main page before I lost patience and created the pull-request. Even worse - it was not accepted until I explicitly asked Andrej to merge it on IRC... This said I am afraid I will have to agree with conclusion that our release manager will have to push the change of the main page with updated details, after each release.
