It's been an immense help to myself and several friends both with learning the language and learning programming in general. It's typically the first book I recommend new students of programming to read. Hope you get most of the cut from the ebook - Enjoy the donation. I only wish I could give more at the moment.

National charsets support
I am quite happy with UTF support in phobos, but support for national codepages is very limited in phobos. Also it is not conform with ranges. So I decide share my project for supporting national charsets: https://bitbucket.org/sibnick/national-encoding.git Sample code: import national.charsets, std.array; dstring s = "123Я"; auto cp1251 = Windows1251.encode(s).array; auto utf32 = Windows1251.decode(cp1251).array; ubyte[] cp866 = CHARSETS["cp866"].encode(s).array; utf32 = CHARSETS["cp866"].decode(cp866).array; Every codec accepts range of some chars and returns range of ubytes. Every decoder accepts range of ubytes and returns range of dchars. This library is not cover UTF codecs, and multibytes national code pages.

It helps with this a lot and think everyone should do it.
I would go even farther and say that one should never define
opDispatch without a template constraint limiting which members
can be dispatched on. It may be a bit radical but we could even
go as far as outright deprecating unconstrained opDispatch.

https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/issues/634
Heh - yeah it is quite problematic.
The only time I've needed to use it was when I was reading in
Json with some structure like
{
[
{ "timestamp" : { ... timestamp info ... },
"info1" : { ... info ...},
"info2" : { ... info ...},
.
.
"info 23" : { ... info ...}
},
{ < more of the above >}
]
}
and I wanted to be able get a Json[timestamp] map, where the Json
is either a info1, info2 etc etc.
I didn't want to write 23 different functions "hash_info1",
"hash_info2" etc etc.
So, opDispatch!
Basically I wanted to hash the timestamp and some data. My
opDispatch became:
@ignore auto opDispatch(string name)(){
static assert(name.startsWith("hash_"), "Error, use
StatHosts.hash_XYZ to gather XYZ[timestamp] info");
static assert(name.length > 5);
enum dataName = name[5..$];
typeof(mixin("StatDetail."~dataName))[StatTimestampDetail] data;
foreach(stat; statistics){
data[stat.timestamp] = mixin("stat."~dataName);
}
return data;
}
23 functions merged into 1...
The static assert reduces the number of places it can break
things at least, still some weird things can happen but for the
most part it's ok.
So yes - opDispatch is cool but should be used VERY sparingly.
