I believe one of the things D needs right now is more
documentation. Therefore, I started writing a tutorial.
It is aimed at people who can already program well in other
languages. This means nothing about loops or structs, because I
expect most people to know this stuff. I do not consider D to
be a language for beginners anyways.
It is aiming for pragmatic not comprehensive advice. For
example, I mostly ignore LDC and GDC except for the
optimization chapter.
Since I am working on Linux exclusively and I like the command
line, I cannot teach to Windows users. Sorry.
This is still very incomplete and my our newborn family member
requires quite some attention. So expect this to develop with
glacial speed. ;)
Nevertheless, I want to put this version 0.1 out to get some
feedback. What do you think about the topic selection? What
topics are missing? Serious errors so far?

Wreck it! :)
Looks very nice, not much content yet but I will continue to
check it out from time to time to see if I can make any
suggestions.
One minor nit-pick. On the page:
http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/d-tut-0.1/philosophy.html
while I got a chuckle out of "D is what C++ wanted to be.", I
might omit this. Insulting C++ isn't likely a great way to
attract the C++ crowd, which is one of our major target audiences.
Good work,
