 |

Hi there!
I'm very new to D and new to programming in general and am coming from a Java background. I was wanting to learn a new programming language that didn't have to be run through an interpreter or virtual machine and D looked like the best language to learn next.
I don't know that much yet in any language but would like to help you guys build up the tutorials for D anyways. Could you people do with a linked list tutorial? And could you do with anything else that I learn in my computer science classes as I learn them?
And how do you format your code so spiffy when submitted? Does it automatically do that or do I need to generate the necessary html?
Thanks a bunch,
-drzzy |

That it is! Although D is still a beta language, it does have plenty of exciting usefulness in it's current state. It makes for an excellent language to learn. I warn you, though. If you are taking CS classes and learning D at the same time, D makes so much more sense in some areas, that you may have trouble stooping to learn C or C++ (if those are course requirements). Like some others have lamented, D programming creates habits that make it almost impossible to operate in the C and C++ world again. 
You've been warned.

Sure... tutorials are always welcome; teaching is always a good way to learn. You might be interested in what others have done in that area also (linked lists and such). See the digitalmars.d and digitalmars.dtl forums at news.digitalmars.com for more discussions on similar topics.

I haven't submitted any tutorials yet, so I can't answer that question. I was under the impression that code formatting was automatic in code sections. Justin (jcc7) probably could answer your question on this.

Pretty much anything is game at this point. As we get more examples, I'll try to spend more effort organizing the examples we get.

The code is automatically formatted using PHP code based on d2html. (I just added a sticky to explain more about the tutorials project.) |
