Hello,
I have started my journey to learn D after using C/C++ and
Python for many years. I am studying the book "The
D-Programming Language" by Andrei Alexandrescu and I have tried
to search the D-newsgroups for proper advice without success
and I am humbly seeking enlightenment in the following topics...
When i first started using D i found the two biggest barriers to
entry were UFCS and D's Template syntax. Luckily i've covered
both on my blog to give newcomers a quick leg up. Andrei's book
is great and very thorough but without the two points above being
explained fully the first half can be confusing.

These are explained later in the book but examples use them long
before they are covered.
