Sorry, I'm tempted to drop official Windows support good. I have an old win7 DVD but I'd prefer if someone who actually uses Windows could fix this. For now let's talk here https://gitlab.com/basile.b/dexed/-/issues/37, as it is very specific.

I hope you don't feel bad based on my feedback! It was intended as helpful not as a complaint. It's always good to have more content on D and your blog posts aren't bad. I hope you continue. -Steve

Don't give up. There are those in this group that are guru no doubt but they don't write tutorials for the upcoming ones to learn. Dlang lacks great incentives for beginners. It seems it is a language design for the expert despite dlang is a easy to learn language Your tutorial is really down to earth. I really learn a lot from it.

I will have a look soon; I am thinking of introducing D to my university students... But I especially like your book (as a reference). I also bought it, although it is freely downloadable. I prefer paper to a display while reading outside in the garden or in the train. I hope you will keep the book up-to-date, especially with all the upcoming changes that might happen in the next iterations of the language.
"Programming in D" on Educative.io
I'm happy to announce that the first part of "Programming in D" is available on Educative.io: https://www.educative.io/courses/programming-in-d-ultimate-guide (They will offer the second half later as a separate course.) Educative.io offers interactive courses, mostly on technology and programming topics and they are looking for more D authors: https://www.educative.io/authors I hope you will find the platform easy to work with and port your existing texts there or write new material. They added a D compiler to their platform for this book; so you're good to go. :) This was the first professional editing of the book where *everything* was handled by their team. (So don't blame me e.g. if you don't like the book's subtitle. ;) ) They took my content and ported to their platform, which allows the reader to edit and compile code samples. There are some added quizes as well. It is a paid course but as a reminder, the book will always be free as well: http://ddili.org/ And I am grateful to Educative.io for understanding that some books want to be free. In fact, they told me that books that are also available for free do sell more. Yay! :) Ali
