After getting the basics down, how did you continue when
learning programming in general?
I do have a need for which I've been trying out a few languages
and D seems by far the best for me. Should I just start doing
that project and learn as I go by googling and asking here, or
are there some other things you did before starting your first
"real" project.
I learnt a lot by reading others' code in a domain that
interested me intrinsically. Originally the same way Walter did
- typing in programs from magazines and then changing them. Pick
something that suits your skill level and is a bit beyond this -
growth comes from pushing your limits and it should be a bit
uncomfortable if you are doing it right.
