What learning resources are available?

[Mark Isaacson]

Hi everyone - I'm a D newbie with a very strong C++ background 
looking to get started. I've read "The D Programming Language" a 
couple of times now, but I've heard rumblings at several points 
in time from several people that some if its contents are now out 
of date or no longer reflect best practices.

What would be the best way to bridge the learning gap between 
TDPL's publication and now?

What other resources would be most useful in establishing a 
working knowledge of idiomatic D?

What's the best way to stay informed about such changes in the 
future? (Is there a mailing list, or should I just be reading dmd 
changelogs?)

Thanks in advance!
