OT: Anyway, I don't think making tutorials for newbies is a priority right now. Even if you make a fantastic free D book it still wouldn't help much, because D2 is missing libraries. It's the same situation as Python 3 was when it was released (heck, many Python 2 libraries have not been ported to Python 3 yet). Newbies might have a good time learning the language, but when it's time to do some actual work they'll realize there's few libraries they can use.
