Ali's book is to blame really for the lack of D tutorials,
it's just so good that no one else bothers ;)
Wouldn't that suggest doing a better job pointing beginners to
it?
The second link on the "Getting Started" page on dlang.org is
to the book http://dlang.org/getstarted.html.
That page says that Ali's book is an "extensive tutorial" that's
"a great starting point for absolute beginners." Presumably
that's what pissed Warwick off, I guess he wants something more
aimed at intermediate to advanced programmers. That would be
TDPL, which is excellent and not free. Perhaps TDPL should be
mentioned on that page too, along with how it's different.
