Getting started with GUI development using D and Gtkd.

[Steve Teale]

I am sad to announce that this does not appear to have a great 
deal of appeal.

This may of course be because my little series of articles  - 
http://britseyeview.com/software/articles/gsgtkd101.html, et seq 
- was complete crap, but I suspect that this is not entirely the 
case.

I've done this sort of thing before. The vast majority of hits my 
site gets are on a 3-part sequence on 'Getting started with 
datatables' (that's jQuery based stuff on how to deal with HTML 
tables.) Those are very basic stuff.

There was an initial flurry of hits after my initial 
announcement, quite a few I suspect via this newsgroup. But since 
then, very little in the way of repeat visits.

I wonder if this is because the code examples in D are just not 
sufficiently comprehensible, even though they were done in a 
'better C' style. Also, of course, there's the 'what is D' factor.

It could also be a problem that I assumed the use of CodeView, 
attempting to give a route for a quick start.

Also I wonder these days if people are interested in writing 
non-web-based GUI programs at all. Are they a thing of the past?

Just thought I would report.
