I agree with the other replies: most definitely get Andrei's book (known by its acronym TDPL around these parts). I had been intending to get into D for a while before I found the book in my local bookstore; but it was after I started reading it that I *really* started to grok what D was about. In short, it's a definite must-read. Even though there are some (small) discrepancies between the book and the current D implementation, the intent is to move in the direction of the book. So you'll be missing out a lot if you pass over it. T -- Mediocrity has been pushed to extremes.
