digitalmars.D.announce - New D book available for pre-order: D Web Development

Hi all!

Did you notice that development of LDC has been a bit slowly in 
the past? The reason is my book D Web Development, available now 
for pre-order: 
https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/d-web-development

The story behind the book:
Some time after the review of the "D Cookbook" I was asked by 
Packt Publishing if I would be interested in writing a book about 
web development with D. By that time I used vibe.d only as a test 
case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of 
vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. 
Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web 
applications.

For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's 
challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I am 
having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating examples 
and writing about it. I learned a lot in this process, including 
some more D programming. :-)

A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for 
contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or 
the other.

Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the 
rework due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be 
patient if fixing LDC bugs  takes some more time as usual.

Regards,
Kai

Nice! I had heard of the plans for this book, but didn't have time to 
actively contribute. But give me a ping if you need some additional 
review. I can't promise that I'll be fast, but I'll do my best!

Congrats! This exactly the sort of book I think D could really use right 
now. D/vibe is fantastic for web, but outside of the vibe.d site there 
isn't enough written about it.

Hi Kai.

As I have all the books/hardcopies from 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Books, I had to  pre-order your coming book 
as well... and did so just now.

It's not like I'm a Dlang programmer and I guess I'll never do 
real world "D [Web] Development", but buying the D books is my 
way of supporting Dlang and especially those of this great 
community who spend their valuable time for the hardest part of 
programming/development... which is writing usable documentation 
and/or books!

 From now on, I'm waiting for my Christmas 2015 gift ;) Thanks for 
doing this!


Btw.,  Ali: I'm would still love to buy the best ever Dlang 
book/documentation/reference, which for me is your (and/or the 
Turkish Dlang communities) "Programming in D" bible! Well, if you 
could make it my birthday present (end of May ;) )...

Packt seem to have caught some sort of wave at the moment with D related
books.

Though from my experience of correspondence with then they seem to work a
bit backwards.

Hope you enjoyed writing.

I don't know what you're seeing there, but here:

Many publishers want to disincentivize ebook sales while 
artificially pushing up print sales, that's probably why.  Part 
of it is that they already have money invested in printing 
presses and the like, so they don't want that investment 
demolished by everyone buying ebooks.  Another piece is that they 
may feel, rightly or wrongly, that they don't have much to 
contribute to ebook sales, so they use such weird pricing to try 
and suppress pure ebook sales alone, because someday they will go 
out of business if they just sell ebooks.

Strictly speaking, it is irrational, or at the very least too 
skewed towards dying technology and business models.  But then 
people do dumb things all the time, especially those whose 
business is heading for obsolescence. :)

Any chance I could be added to the reviewers for this book?
English is my primary language and I use vibe.d about 25 work hours a week.

 Hi all!

 Did you notice that development of LDC has been a bit slowly in the past?
 The reason is my book D Web Development, available now for pre-order:
 https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/d-web-development

 The story behind the book:
 Some time after the review of the "D Cookbook" I was asked by Packt
 Publishing if I would be interested in writing a book about web development
 with D. By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then
 I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about
 it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to
 use D for web applications.

 For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's challenging
 because I am not a native English speaker. But I am having lot of fun in
 exploring all the details, creating examples and writing about it. I
 learned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-)

 A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for
 contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or the other.

 Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the rework
 due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be patient if fixing
 LDC bugs  takes some more time as usual.

 Regards,
 Kai
