CVu is for ACCU members only but Overload is freely available online as well (both are actually print magazines): http://accu.org/index.php/journal Quoting from the most-recent Overload PDF: http://accu.org/index.php/journals/c78/ "All articles intended for publication in Overload 131 should be submitted by 1st January 2016 and those for Overload 132 by 1st March 2016."

I have the book with me, I just haven't read it yet. I will be submitting a review though. Maybe I should do one for other new-ish D books all at the same time so we can have them appear around the ACCU 2016 conference. BTW Any preferences as to what to do with the other two copies? I was wondering about handing them out at ACCU 2016 as prizes for something or other. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

CVu is the membership magazine/journal of ACCU but does a lot of technical content. Overload was the magazine/journal that tended to be C++ focussed but there is a move to make it have wider content. I have just submitted an article on Spock (Groovy implemented testing framework for the JVM) for Overload, and am about to read a book on D and do a review for CVu. Article was about 3000 words plus code. Not sure how long the book review will be. > How long? Articles of many different lengths are good. Generally 1500 to 4500 words I think. > What are the deadlines? The two journals are every other month interleaved so there is a journal every month. So there is always another deadline to aim for. :- ) I feel an article about how crap C++ is at doing concurrency and parallelism and how good Go and Rust are. D sadly sits in the middle. Dataflow for the win! -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Maybe you know someone that is interested in D; you can give it to them. Or put it around at a company where people will see and grab it to flip through the pages... They are just marketing expense for me. :) Ali
