Programming in D: The Ultimate Guide for Software Engineers
Gain insights into D programming by exploring variables, loops, and advanced topics such as functions and unit testing. Discover how to build applications using this versatile language.
While D has been around for a while, it’s just now starting to see a surge in popularity. D is a multi-paradigm system programming language that combines a wide range of powerful programming concepts. Because D is a re-engineering of C++, many C++ developers have switched to learning D.
In this course, you will start by building a simple "hello world" program. You will then proceed to cover the concepts related to variables, loops, conditional statements, and arrays in order to build up your fundamentals. After addressing the basic concepts, you will then explore more advanced topics like functions, unit testing, and contract programming.
By the end of this course, you will have the foundations in place to start building your own applications in D.
