You're welcome. That's an good suggestion, but it may take me a 
while to get there (so many topics piling up as it is).


But in the meantime, you might have a look at Ali's book 
(http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html). It helped me get started.


Another is Mike's "Learning D" which I've used as a reference 
quite often: 
https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-d


Either of those should get you going and, naturally, if you have 
questions, there's a whole raft of people on here who are always 
willing to supply answers.

Thanks, Russel. And thanks for the suggestion of putting in 
previous/next links. Don't know why I didn't think of that one 
myself.

And dom.d is also one of the longest, still _working_ XML parser 
that is easy to use.

Longevity and availability have value.

How does it compare to vibe.d?


vibe.d has marketing, I don't really care since I write it for 
myself. That's the biggest difference.


From a technical perspective, vibe is committed to its event 
driven model, while mine is more flexible and can use any 
additional libraries and is broadly compatible with environments 
(including old style cgi, where it started).


The only docs I have for it are on dpldocs.info.

Fun fact: hunt framework bootstrapped themselves with my code! I 
don't think they still use any of it though, but their first few 
versions heavily relied on my lib on the inside :)

Anyway, while version numbers are silly, you can read a more 
informational summary of a bunch of the new stuff here:

How does it compare to vibe.d? it even has http2. Where can one

gtkDcoding Facelift Launch

2019-07-09 Thread Ron Tarrant via Digitalmars-d-announce
Last week, gtkDcoding saw its 50th regularly-scheduled post. 
Today marks the launch of stage two of the facelift we've been 
working toward for the last month. The new features are:


- syntax highlighting for all code snippets,
- screenshots for every example, and
- updated color-coding to more easily associate posts with the 
topics they cover.


Also of note is that each screenshot set includes:

- a shot (or two or three) of the example code in action,
- a shot of the terminal window showing any output, and
- a link (which opens a new browser tab) to the full code example,
- all these are now found within an in-page box directly below a 
page title naming the example, and
- clicking on either of the screenshots displays an overlay with 
a full-size view of the screenshot.


There will likely be minor tweaks happening over the next few 
weeks, but this is the big roll-out. I hope you all like it.
