This Week in D
June 5, 2016
Welcome to This Week in D! Each week, we'll summarize what's been going on in the D community and write brief advice columns to help you get the most out of the D Programming Language.
The D Programming Language is a general purpose programming language that offers modern convenience, modeling power, and native efficiency with a familiar C-style syntax.
This Week in D has an RSS feed.
This Week in D is edited by Adam D. Ruppe. Contact me with any questions, comments, or contributions.

Major Changes
D now has an official blog! Where This Week in D serves to sum up community activity and just sometimes has original content, the blog is a new source of inside information and original content to come as it is prepared.
There is just one post so far, but with Mike Parker being officially called to keep it up, I have no doubt there will be good stuff in there to come.
Another major change this week was that the ddox Phobos documentation, at , now has a plan to go live and as such, got a significant amount of work done. Over the next couple of weeks, the migration should be progressing.
