Simple tutorial

[Craig Black]

A german guy named Matthias Thurau did some simple tutorials on installing D 
and installing D with various IDE's: http://d.whosme.de  These are the 
simplest D tutorial I have found.  He also has a tutorial on how to install 
Derelict although I don't think that will help in your case.  As far as GFX, 
I've never heard of it.  Is it a GUI library?  Anyway, if it's written in C, 
then it can be called from D.
