This Week in D
February 8, 2015
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.
