digitalmars.D.learn - Where to go after "Programming in D"
- karabuta (7/7) Mar 01 2016 I am almost done with the "programming in D" book. Where will you

- karabuta (2/15) Mar 01 2016 Big thanks
- tsbockman (15/19) Mar 01 2016 Just to add to this - the quality and style of the code in Phobos
- karabuta (2/22) Mar 02 2016 thanks for the tip :)
- cym13 (3/10) Mar 01 2016 I would suggest the "D Cookbook" by Adam Ruppe, it's a great book

I am almost done with the "programming in D" book. Where will you suggest a go from there. My current focus is on network programming, database systems, data manipulation and software architectures for database related apps(mostly Linux platforms with D). I am aiming to become a hardcore and better coder(quality code) than you :) Please suggest.

After that I would practice using Ranges and get a better grasp on the functions in std.algorithms. std.algorithm has some good stuff for dealing with data. Since you want to do Network programming I would suggest Vibe.d and read thru the source of it. Also whatever DB you normally use check out the projects for those drivers and maybe contribute as some need ppl. Since you say you want to become "hardcore" I would suggest porting some popular libraries over to D. After that maybe look to get involved in Phobos and/or the compiler of your choosing.

Many of the older Phobos modules were designed before anyone really knew how to use D2 properly. The newer modules are generally of high quality and reflect a more mature understanding of the language; I strongly suggest surveying the code base as a whole before studying any one module too closely - otherwise you might pick up some bad habits from the more out-dated parts of Phobos. Also, if you're looking for examples of good, idiomatic code, stay away from DMD (which was only recently converted to D, and still contains many artifacts of its C++ heritage) and D runtime, which hasn't benefited from the same high level of attention and continual reworking as Phobos.I am aiming to become a hardcore and better coder(quality code) than you :) Please suggest.I'd probably skim thru the Language Reference and Phobos.

I am still reading both Mike Parker's "Learning D" and Adam Ruppe's "D Cookbook"; they are great. (Is Kai Nacke's "D Web Development" out yet? The page still says "pre-order".) http://wiki.dlang.org/Books Ali
