D, the Best Programming Language, for Former Python Developers

A book about D programming language or DLang for Python programmers. “There is no best programming language”, they say. There is, for most applications it is D. The book starts from a comparison of D to Python and teaches all important features of D. D has all the features of Python but speed comparable to C and reliability comparable to Ada! D programming language or DLang for Python programmers: rapid software development of high performance software and a reliable software technology. “There is no best programming language”, they say. There is, for most applications it is D. The book starts from a comparison of D to Python. Then it explains D starting from simple features (types, variables, functions, expressions, statements) up to advanced ones (object oriented programming, templates, mixins, contract programming, overloading of operators, etc.) Then follows an advice for good programs and introduction to several libraries: the standard library Phobos (ranges, arrays, functional programming, tuples, the variant types, files, etc.) and several other important libraries including some libraries written by the author.
