D Learning Resources

[Jesse Phillips]

I think the book might be better then categorizing it in basic, 
intermediate, advanced. The reason I state this is given a new 
programmer. They will want to start from the beginning (basics), until 
they reach the level they feel they can stop. Now take a program from 
another language, they have some skill level, may know a lot about their 
native language (where they're coming from) or not a whole lot. When 
they look at the book they'll be looking for the headings that indicate 
D specific ideas, and avoid sections with the concepts they already know.

Your proposal sounds like it would be a great change for the dsource 
tutorial section.
