Hello everyone!

Well, this is actually a "talk proposal for someone else". I'd be the
audience, not the speaker.

TITLE: D Programming in D (Or: Writing idiomatic D code)

ABSTRACT: Every language has its own sanctified idioms. Beginners
learning a new language tend to use the idioms of the languages they
already know in the new language. This is no different for someone
learning D, so we have people doing, say, "C++ programing in D" or
"Lua programming in D". This is not the best way to go. Learning the D
idioms is a very important step to move from "I can write D programs"
to "I know D". This talk presents a survey of the most important
idioms commonly used by the D community. Hopefully, it will help you
to start doing "D programming in D".

SPEAKER BIO: < Your bio here :-) >


I would *really* love to watch a talk (or read a book for that
matter), dealing with this kind of topic. I suppose many other
programmers coming from other languages would benefit from a talk like
this. And considering that we'll have the videos online after the
conference, I'd say that this would become a mostly valuable reference
for all the people that will join D. (We want a million users, right?
They'd all love this talk ;-) )

So, anyone else interested in watching a talk like this?

Anyone interested in *giving* a talk like this?

Cheers,

LMB

PS: It's really great we did it! The news made my day yesterday! I am
pretty sure it will be a great conference! (Even if no one decides to
give the "D Programming in D" talk ;-) )
