Should this work?

I find this to be true in other languages, except the "block of 
function names."

When I want to do something but don't know where it is in C#, I 
Google it and find some StackOverflow page with the answer.

In Java, I Google it and find a Java API page (this was mostly be 
for StackOverflow took over).

D, I have a generally idea of where I need to be. Maybe it there 
are a couple modules to look at. Searching isn't as effective, 
there just aren't enough arbitrary tutorials on how to do the 
most basic of things to be able to find those basic things.

Trying to look over the API pages for C# or Java to find what you 
need isn't fun. But it can be a little better if you know which 
class you need.
