Leverage the modern convenience and modelling power of the D programming language to develop software with native efficiency

• Acquire the skills to understand the fundamentals of D through its support for imperative and object-oriented programming
• Take advantage of D's powerful compile-time features, templates and ranges to apply generative, generic, and functional style
• A systematic guide that will help you become familiar with the concepts in D with the help of simple and easy-to-understand examples

This book is intended for those with some background in a C-family language who want to learn how to apply their knowledge and experience to D. Perhaps you're a college student looking to use D for hobby projects, or a career programmer interested in expanding your skillset. This book will help you get up to speed with the language and avoid common pitfalls that arise when translating C-family experience to D.

• Compile programs with DMD and manage projects with DUB
• Work efficiently by binding your D programs with new and existing C libraries
• Generate code at compile-time to enhance runtime performance
• Implement complex templates for more powerful generic code
• Write idiomatic D with range-based functional pipelines
• Use the DUB repository to find a link with a variety of D libraries
• Implement a web-app in D from the ground up

D is a modern programming language that is both powerful and efficient. It combines multiple paradigms in a way that opens up a whole new world of software design. It is used to develop both desktop and web applications, with future targets including mobile, and is available on multiple platforms. It is familiar to anyone with some experience in one or more of the C-family languages. However, hidden in the similarities are several differences that can be surprising when trying to apply common idioms from other languages. When learning D on your own, this can make it more time-consuming to master. In o
