That's not an accurate guess: I may have started writing pieces of it 15
years ago but the last update was in February 2022:

I know I will never get to the level of many programmers on these forums
but the book was written to teach programming to novices. The fact that
it uses D is helpful on many levels. There are some old concepts in
there like OOP and strong exception guarantees but I claim the content
is still usable today.
I find the book extremely useful myself and use it almost daily to look
up features of the language.
