I once owned a Phobos-based book on D, long gone, what is the latest book out there?

This reminds me that there is a book about D that I haven't read 
and have never seen mentioned here at the forums, by [Victor 
Porton](https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Former-Python-Developers/dp/B08M83X6N8/ref=sr_1_8?crid=104B3SUYFWRJI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oql2J0S7BvEt21ReLIVTOjXJclUud_Aa4b8clJaw01vQD2PrkhkpOX77-2NdJxC8U0rHin1d_boHmMm38bjRREgP8h0XTW2RFgauigwhXiAzCkOyZtrchOhFDUVWbS-ftCM8vaFSv_PP3w3CBoioe1wgaQ3pZL8P0HKPIZV5dU9v3SoCZtJH7cbWihMbjIhIgRJEzMng5dac8T7eJt1SMZytvkNhBPA6Je9yZoFsw2s.dhwpfkqb3iZO9DZYfoCmAly44jHutBOiowJ1ZXXPwOM&dib_tag=se&keywords=victor+porton&qid=1743592739&sprefix=victor+porton%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-8).

I have no idea how we have not ever mentioned it here. I should 
know because I knew the book exists, yet I haven't written about 
it until now. At least someone has added it to the D wiki.

To be frank, I don't have that high expectations of the book. The 
author did write a few DIPs, pull requests and blog posts here a 
few years ago, and in my opinion he came up as well-intentioned 
but somehow simple-minded. Like, if you have the misfortune to 
suffer from some learning disability or otherwise a bit lacking 
in prequisites to learn programming but still want to try 
learning D, maybe his explaining style is great. But for the rest 
of us, not so much.
