内容説明
In recent years, much work has been put into creating programming languages that embody a blend of many of the most admired characteristics of their predecessors. One such language is D, which provides developers with the speed of languages such as C and C++ combined with the power and flexibility of languages such as Ruby and Python.
Learn to Tango with D introduces you to the powerful D language, with special attention given to the Tango software library. A concise yet thorough overview of the language’s syntax and features is presented, followed by an introduction to Tango, the popular general–purpose library you’ll find invaluable when building your D applications.
Authored by prominent D developers Kris Bell, Lars Ivar Igesund, Sean Kelly, and Michael Parker, this book supplies not only the knowledge required to begin building your own D applications, but also the insight these authors have acquired due to their extensive experience working with and participating in the development of the D language.
What you’ll learn
- Gain a solid understanding of the D programming language and the companion Tango library
- How to leverage the open source Tango library to build robust cross–platform applications
- Why the combination of D and Tango can be the best option for your next application
Who this book is for
Programmers wishing to learn more about the D language and the Tango library.

著者について
Kris Bell is a Scottish pirate and wannabe musician, part-time photographer, avid traveler, open-source advocate, miscreant techie dweeb and a principal Tango contributor. He enjoys swimming, cycling, sailing, occasional hikes and recently took up rock climbing. Previously, he dabbled in a bit of car-racing and skydiving, and once took a flying-trapeze course where the latter served only to cement his vocation of choice. He lives in California, though hails from the Scottish West Coast and has a dodgy set of bagpipes to remind him of home.
Kris has a varied background in engineering and architecture, spanning application servers to rapid application development (RAD) toolsets, embedded-OS to graphics engines, workflow to high-performance clustering & failover substrata. Some commercial systems he's designed/built include enterprise & Internet application platforms, factory automation systems, carrier-grade middleware, immersive environment simulation and crazy interactive clothing. In a different age he would probably have been a steam-locomotive engineer, a swashbuckling jolly-roger, or a funky bell-ringer.
Lars Ivar Igesund holds a master's degree in computer science from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, having become involved in the introductory programming course team during that time. Outside of the university, he has worked with network administration and support in both public service and private sector, and helped develop 3D graphic systems in C/C++. He is currently selling consultant services through his own company, Igesund Enterprise Software, doing both D and Java projects. Lars Ivar has been involved in the D community since 2003, and part of the Tango project lead since 2006.
Sean Kelly, a C++ programmer with over 15 years experience that includes several programming languages, is co-founder of the Tango standard library for the open-source D programming language. He has reviewed articles and books on C++ written by Matthew Wilson, such as Imperfect C++. As a life-long gamer, he is designer and developer of a Neverwinter Nights add-on that provides dynamic inter-server portalling and event propogation. Kelly works for Advent Software and lives with his wife and three cats in Concord, California.
Michael Parker, originally from Atlanta, found himself in the Republic of Korea as a U.S. Army medic in the summer of 1991. After volunteering for two more tours in Korea, he left the Army in 1994 to teach English in Seoul. In the intervening years, he has taught English in a variety of environments and has occasionally worked in different capacities for the U.S. Government and government contractors in Korea.
In the late 1990s, Mike took up game programming as a hobby. Eventually, his passion for software development expanded beyond games and he secured a series of J2EE web application development contracts with several small Korean companies. He discovered D in 2003 and a few months later created the Derelict project at Dsource.org. He became involved with Tango in the fall of 2006. Currently, Mike is developing his first commercial computer game. He continues to teach English part time in Seoul, where he lives with his wife, Mi Kyoung, and their dogs, Charlie, Mini, Joey and Happy.

Solid introduction to D basics
2008/5/13
By Ben Speakmon
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ペーパーバック
The first English-language book on D, Learn To Tango with D, is a no-crap quick ramp-up guide to the language and the popular Tango general-purpose library. Half of the 188 pages are an introduction to how D does things, while the other half walks through some Tango basics. It's written in a fast, loose idiom that doesn't try to teach you programming as much as it shows how to do your favorite C++ or Java tricks in D. This fills a need since the existing D documentation is rather technical and not well indexed, but it's not something the dedicated and curious engineer couldn't figure out for himself.
After the basics, you're introduced to Tango. I should point out that D ships with a standard library called Phobos and that Tango is a (friendly) competitor to it. The two aren't mutually compatible at all, and you'll run into D code that uses each, so don't think you're getting the entire D story from this book. That said, Tango has neat ideas and a passionate community behind it, so you're not making any compromise on quality by using it. This section is a bit too high-level for my taste; it's an introduction, not a reference. While you can certainly get production-quality API docs from the Tango web site, don't expect the book to be one.
Summing up, this book is for experienced C/C++/Java programmers who've heard about this D thing and want to see what it's all about. Those who prefer learning from source code or documentation won't really need this, and those who do need it will probably find no need to read it a second time. However, as the only book on D in the King's English, it's worth recommending solely on that basis.

Excellent book that accomplishes its goals
2009/8/20
By Eric Berend
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ペーパーバック
I found that this book strikes a very comfortable balance between adequately introducing the essential details of various important aspects of the D language and this version of a necessary "standard library". Given how recent the introduction of the D programming language is, and the relatively small size of its dedicated community, it should not be surprising that there are few published works defining the language and some of its optimal coding signatures.
This book's goal is to teach the use of the Tango standard library for the D programming language. It is not meant as a comprehensive teaching guide to D itself! Within this limitation, it does succeed, admirably. Contrary to another reviewer's scathing criticism; I found that, while terse, the descriptions and examples set forth in this book are clear, hew closely to the point at hand, maintain elegance in their simplicity, and reveal only necessary aspects of complexity in context.
To lambaste this generally excellent book for a personal disappointment regarding its scope, is inappropriate; and in any event, it obviously deserves well more than a mere one star. To that reviewer I respond: you are petty and have done the D language community a disservice in your churlishness.

Inadequate
2010/5/7
By Larry R. Luther
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazon.co.jpで購入済み
The book is clearly inadequate. It doesn't even have an Index. It's describing a language and library which is superior to C++ and yet has less pages than "The C Programming Language" by Kernigan & Richie. It's describing D version 1 but D version 2 is out with more syntax changes. On the other hand it was the only book available and it does fill in some of the considerable gaps of the "D" description on the Digital Mars website.
