Not to rain on anyone's parade, but it's listed under C++, the 
title of the course says "Next C++", and the instructor does 
not claim expertise in the D language:


It said..
Dlang: The Complete D programming Language Course (Next C++) 
...
D Language: Learn basics to intermediate and OOP (Dlang has C, 
C++, C#, Java & Python features and Impacted Go & Swift)


I don't see what's wrong with that..isn't the D "what C++ 
should have been"? Synonymous to "Next C++".


Yes and no. In the beginning it felt like D aim was to fix C++ 
pains. In the end and I mean now, it's a language with a pretty 
unique set of features that managed to absorb years of language 
design and engineering experience.  Unfortunately, this didn't 
happen fast.

This is lovely. How, wish this training  is free.

Ki Rill is doing a free one on YouTube.

I was actually saying we need an intermediate to advanced D 
programming course somewhere today. To supplement an introductory 
one like this.

Yes. That's what it is. There's still people learning to program 
everyday and I believe its a good learning material for such an 
audience. There's such tutorials for pretty much all programming 
languages on Udemy.


I'm fine with what it is, and I'm not trying to say it's not useful to 
anyone.


But that's not what it says, it says: "The Complete D programming 
Language Course". This is not "complete".


But I also didn't pay for it to see, so maybe it's more involved than 
what the preview says.

I would not recommend this course based on the preview. It 
covers the "main topics of D programming language which 
includes variables, loops, functions, logic, and OOP." D has 
nice features for these, but I would not consider a D course 
complete without an introduction to static compilation features.


Maybe you're too advanced for this kind of learning material.

Wouldn't it be nice if all programmers wrote all programs for free.
