Well, D2 is a fast-evolving language, so any book can't possibly be 100%
up to date. :) But having said that, what's covered in the book is
pretty close to the current state of D2. The basics haven't changed, so
you don't really have to worry about that. When you get to the level
where it starts to matter, you probably don't need the book anymore (or
only need it for reference) anyway. :)

I've also been impressed with D since I first stumbled across it late
last year. I've been using C/C++ for almost 2 decades, but after tasting
D's power in a recent small project, I have to confess that I just can't
go back to C/C++ for my personal projects anymore. The more I use D the
more I like it.

Isn't that how we all start out, though? Tinker with the language in toy
projects that eventually become the basis for something more serious.
