D Programming Language (Pearson Education)

"To the best of my knowledge, D offers an unprecedentedly adroit integration of several powerful programming paradigms: imperative, object-oriented, functional, and meta." -From the Foreword by Walter Bright "This is a book by a skilled author describing an interesting programming language. I'm sure you'll find the read rewarding." -From the Foreword żeby Scott Meyers D is a programming language built to help programmers address the challenges of modern software development. It does so żeby fostering modules interconnected through precise interfaces, a federation of tightly integrated programming paradigms, language-enforced thread isolation, modular type safety, an efficient memory model, and more. The D Programming Language is an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to D. Reflecting the author's signature style, the writing is casual and conversational, but never at the expense of focus and pre-cision. It covers all aspects of the language (such as expressions, statements, types, functions, contracts, and modules), but it is much more than an enumeration of features.Inside the book you will find * In-depth explanations, with idiomatic examples, for all language features * How feature groups support major programming paradigms * Rationale and best-use advice for each major feature * Discussion of cross-cutting issues, such as error handling, contract programming, and concurrency * Tables, figures, and "cheat sheets" that serve as a handy quick reference for day-to-day problem solving with D Written for the working programmer, The D Programming Language not only introduces the D language-it presents a compendium of good practices and idioms to help both your coding with D and your coding in general.
