Have you ever considered hacking on the D compiler but were
intimidated by the build process? Dennis Korpel has been working
on a series of video tutorials aimed at helping potential
contributors establish a foundation from which to start
contributing code.
In this first tutorial of the series, he gives an overview of
what happens when compiling a D source file, then shows how to
set up an environment from which to build dmd and the standard
library/runtime binary. The next video will use this setup to
start making changes to dmd.

The plan is to publish a new tutorial in the series every two
weeks, so you can look for the next tutorial on January 22.
Thanks to Dennis for offering to put these videos together. Even
a short video like this one takes a significant time investment
to go from concept to publication. I'm certain there are people
out there who will find them beneficial.
