I am learning D for the first time.
While I wait for Mike Parker's "Learning D" book to arrive, I
have started using the tour.
I really like the tour, especially the fact that you can run and
tweak the code as well as read the explanations.
However, what I really miss is a contents page so that I can look
at each topic and jump back when I want to recap something.
For example, I haven't found one definitive place in the docs
that document D's strings. I've found the std.string module's
docs and the Array's string docs -- which unfortunately are not
cross-ref'd with links to each other. I know that I've covered
strings in the tour, but with no list of contents I can't find it
without "endlessly" clicking back to find it.
Another thing I like about the tour is that the imports specify
the imported functions so you can see exactly where they come
from.
