D is a multi-paradigm programming language that combines a wide range of powerful programming concepts from the lowest to the highest levels. It emphasizes memory safety, program correctness, and pragmatism. This course will teach you advanced D concepts, so it’s recommended to get the basics down.
In this course, you will start by learning lifetimes, structs, function overloading, and inheritance, all crucial concepts for advanced D developers.
In the second half of the course, you will learn about templates, pointers, memory management, and more. If you’re looking to take your D programming to the next level, then this course will find you well.
By the end of this course, you will be well equipped to take your D experience and start creating your own applications.
