How to continue after the book?

[I Lindström via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Thanks all. Your answers gave me a lot more confidence in 
starting. What I've always found to be the hardest is to know 
what you can do, and that's what I use books for. "Can" in the 
sense of what's possible and how. These forums and the docs on 
the site have given me a pretty decent idea about how to proceed 
and do things. It's not the work itself that I dread, but more 
the "can I find out how to do something", but some of your 
answers touched on this and I will take heed.

A lot to learn. You can expect me to come pester you guys if I 
hit a snag. Heh.
