I encourage everyone to apply for visa as soon as possible. US visa 
process can be frustratingly delayed depending on many unknown factors.

Awesome!

Questions:

1) There will be no kickstarter this year?


No.


2) I'm from another country, and I'd like to participate/attend this
year, do you already know about prices for tickets etc? (And this will
be a good excuse to take my visa!). :D


We haven't yet decided. If you fly from outside North America, travel 
costs may likely dominate.

Is just a test to see how much candidates are into details. We never
have typos, much less make mistakes.

We're happy to announce the first sponsor of DConf 2015: Utah Valley 
University. In addition to providing conference venue, UVU will cover 
room rental fees and simplify logistics and paperwork.


Many thanks to UVU and especially its Computer Science Department Chair, 
Chuck Allison, who was instrumental in making this happen.


This is great news, and hopefully a precedent to be followed.


Thanks,

Andrei

Hey that is my birthday as well :) Same deal.


∅MQD 1.0.0-alpha released - now with full ∅MQ 4.0 support

2015-01-09 Thread Lars T. Kyllingstad via Digitalmars-d-announce
∅MQD is a D library that wraps the low-level C API of the ∅MQ 
(aka. ZeroMQ) messaging framework.  It is a rather thin wrapper 
that maps closely to the C API, while making it safer, easier and 
more pleasant to use.  The API is designed to feel familiar to 
existing ∅MQ users, yet natural to D users.


With this release, the latest stable ∅MQ version (4.0.x) is 
supported in full, including the new security mechanisms.


I'm going to let it linger in the alpha release stage for a 
while, in the hope that you guys will try it out and give me some 
feedback and bug reports.  Please let me know of any issues via 
the GitHub issue tracker.


For more information, check out the following links.

It's the next version of Linux that we wrote from scratch in D.

:P

We're all pretty excited here about your potential application. Go for it! ;)
