I'm just starting out learning D.
Andrei Alexandrescu's "The D Programming Language" is 10
years old, so is it still worth getting? (I don't know how
much D has changed in 10 years.)
Depending on your background:
https://wiki.dlang.org/First_Language
https://wiki.dlang.org/Coming_From
Even if you are not new to programming this book would be a
good start:

Thanks for the links.
I should have said that I find it a *lot* easier learning from
a print book than online which is why I asked about the
Alexandrescu book.
Has D changed enough in 10 years to outdate that book? I know
most other languages have but I'm completely new to D.
I'll also throw out that the books by Andrei, Mike Parker, and
Adam Ruppe are available on O'Reilly's Safari if you have
access. You could see which you like best and order that one.
Both those books are published by Packt who normally have no
quality control at all as I've discovered to my cost. However
they do seem to have people with good D credentials as
reviewers/foreword writers, so I guess I'll try Parker's after
I've tried the "official" one.
Thanks.
