Sorry for hijacking this thread, but since you're around, I hope you'll see this message. As a D beginner, I'm browsing through your book. I wanted to tell you that there is something essential missing in it: how to compile. It's actually quite hard to find it in the official website, and since the first chapters are targetted at complete beginners, I thought it would be nice to add a few lines or pages about compilation, linking, debugging, etc. What do you think ?
