Would like to learn "D", but am a bit intimidated by the fact

(discrete mathematics, machine organization, etc.) and hence am
preparing for the same.
Would like to know if there be anything else I should work
through before approaching "D" via Mr. Alexandrescu's book.
Thanks.
If you have been programming for 23 years there is absolutely no
reason why you should struggle with D due to your lack of
discrete math, machine organization knowledge, etc. You
certainly shouldn't have any trouble following Andrei's book,
which is very easy to follow, although having some discrete math
is helpful in keeping up with some of his forum posts :o)
Welcome to the D world!
