I got my collectors edition from Amazon US a few days ago. I browsed it a bit and it looks like an interesting read even for someone who basically knows D already. Which is good, because anyone who knows C or Java basically does already know most of D. I liked that about Stroustrup's book on C++, too, when I read it many moons ago. It had meaty examples that taught me something interesting, even when that wasn't the main language instruction point. For instance, Stroustrup uses a recursive descent parser introduce some mundane aspect of C++ -- statements, I think it was. This book looks like it might have some of that to it.
Anyway, thanks for the ack in the preface, Andrei! --bb On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 4:05 PM, Guillaume B. <guillaume.b.s...@spam.ca> wrote: > > Got mine today from Amazon Canada: collector's edition too.
