Learning programming with D - optimizing the entry point / the environment?

[Martin Tschierschke via Digitalmars-d]

Hi,
after a year of learning D and using it for some small projects.

I think "we" should offer a Starter Kit like bundle designed to 
learn D.

My inspiration is from the Basic256 http://www.basic256.org/,
to have something similar for D, you would not need an complete 
IDE,
but it would be nice.

My last idea was, what about enhancing DUB to support the 
installation process of the different D compilers, (with DMD as 
default)?

So if we get DUB as free software in Debian -> Ubuntu & CO.

You have just one starting point (installing DUB).

Then a special option might be to install(download) the existing 
set of tutorial examples to explore the language.

Very important I think would be to add some graphics, especially 
to get the interests of kids, For example arsd.simpledisplay.d 
with its nice learning example Pong.

What do you think about this?
