I'm the principal of ARSD Inc., a software developer in Watertown, New York. My speciality is the D Programming Language, excelling with it in several fields, especially web programming. I've used D in a professional capacity since 2009 and as a hobbyist since 2006.
Over those years, I have written several assorted D libraries and am the maintainer of the OpenD Programming Language, a variant of D focused on shipping common-sense, incremental improvements to the language while minimizing risk of regressions.
Publications:
- I keep a programming blog called This Week in ARSD (Adam Ruppe's Software Development).
- I did a live coding session as part of DConf Online 2020 on November 21, 2020. I meandered quite a bit but it is a brief demo of some of my D libraries. I did part 2 for DConf Online 2021.
- I'm the author of the D Cookbook published by Packt Publishing on May 26 2014.
- I gave a talk at DConf 2015 at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT on Friday, May 29, 2015 on making a dynamic type in D. http://dconf.org/2015/talks/ruppe.html
- I gave a talk at DConf 2014 in Menlo Park, CA on Friday, May 23, 2014 on the theme of experimenting with programming and the topic of bare metal programming in D and the interaction of language features with the runtime library. http://dconf.org/2014/talks/ruppe.html
