(that's this book:

	http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321635361/modecdesi-20

Author's homepage:

) ...and finally played with the language a bit.  I've posted
some notes about getting dmd 2.048 running on FreeBSD (that's the
D 2.0 compiler + runtime + phobos libs), debugging with gdb head and
Doug Rabson's D-aware debugger ngdb [1], and my first (useful) hack,
a threaded .xz compressor, here:

(more links in there; also read the followups...)
