I helped with something last summer: an attempt at creating a wikibook for

One thing that has always bothered me is, there aren't many good *free*
ebooks for learning D.
Well, I'll try to continue what I had started less than a year ago. I'll
probably make many mistakes while writing, so can you guys check on my
progress once in a while?

What do you think?
Thanks.
Good idea. Small notes:
*) In the tip section 'write("Hello\n") and writeln("Hello")' are not
the same. writeln and writefln flush. write doesn't.
*) Not sure if you want to also encourage portable code. "\n" should
be replace with newline which I think it is define in std.string.
I wrote some code a while back that was intended to be portable (between
windows and linux anyway). I used 'writef("Hello\n");' a lot, and those
always printed correctly on windows. Does writef do something different
than write with the '\n' character?
