I bought the book and am trying to patiently learn this language. I follow various tutorials here and around the web that frequently won't compile. I suspect it has something to do with D1/D2/Phobos/Tango and not just really poor unvetted tutorials. It would really be helpful if those providing references, code snippets, tutorials, etc clearly identify the context (i.e D1/D2/Phobos/Tango). I just think it would help accelerate the spread and acceptance of this language if more of the code worked as listed.

If people are out cruising the web and download a fresh copy of D with excitement (about a cleaned-up, updated c-type systems language) and then the first several things don't compile w/o errors, they're going to move on.

Thanks so much to all who provide references, tutorials, etc! It is great service in helping others learn. I hope this is seen as constructive criticism for that is what it is.
