The D Programming Language

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"To the best of my knowledge, D offers an unprecedentedly adroit integration of several powerful programming paradigms: imperative, object-oriented, functional, and meta." -From the foreword by Walter Bright "This is a book by a skilled author describing an interesting programming language. I'm sure you'll find the read rewarding." -From the foreword by Scott Meyers D is a programming language built to help programmers address the challenges of modern software development. It does so by fostering modules interconnected through precise interfaces, a federation of tightly integrated programming paradigms, language-enforced thread isolation, modular type safety, an efficient memory model, and more. The D Programming Language is an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to D. It covers all aspects of the language (such as expressions, statements, types, functions, contracts, and modules), but it is much more than an enumeration of features. Reflecting the author's signature style, the writing is casual and conversational, but never at the expense of focus and precision. Inside the book you will find * In-depth explanations, with idiomatic examples, for all language features * How feature groups support major programming paradigms * The rationale and best-use advice for each major feature * Discussion of cross-cutting issues, such as error handling, contract programming, and concurrency * Tables, figures, and "cheat sheets" that serve as a handy quick reference for day-to-day problem solving with D Written for the working programmer, The D Programming Language not only introduces the D language-it presents a compendium of good practices and idioms to help both your coding with D and your coding in general.

Autorenporträt

Andrei Alexandrescu, Ph.D., is the author of the award-winning books Modern C++ Design (Addison-Wesley, 2001) and, with Herb Sutter, C++ Coding Standards (Addison-Wesley, 2005). Through his work, Andrei has garnered a solid reputation as a leading innovator in programming languages and methods. Since 2006, he has collaborated closely with Walter Bright—the original designer and implementer of D—on designing and implementing the language and its standard library.
