I have been reading the D forums for a while and following on its
amazing progress for a long time. Over time I have even written
some basic D programs for myself, nothing major or earth
shuttering. I have downloaded and read Ali's excellent book.
I would like to dive deeper into D, however sometimes it can get
intimidating when I read some of the discussions on the forums
and I realise I know nothing. People argue on and on about a
feature or lack of and the future of the language and it starts
to cast doubts on my desire to learn and be proficient in D.
I would like to choose D as my go to language and to do that I
realise I need a mentor, someone who will walk and guide me and
not get irritated by basic questions. I am pretty much a DIY
person, so don't worry about mundane issues. I want to have
someone with whom I can discuss some practical choices and
algorithms. I am a self-taught programmer and never took CS
classes. I am good in R, Python and Ruby.
Please let me know if you would like to be a D mentor.
