In our school Microsoft donates good developer tools (C#, ASP, Web framework, Ajax, SQL server, Visual Studio) and provides operating system (Xp or 7). Also quest lectures from Microsoft or partners, but only about Microsoft technology stack. Is more a vocational college. We study tools at school, then do training period in interns. Is hard to get D through. I'd use D instead but how to convince? The intership means you can not choose tools, you a small worker in a big project. At school they get materials elsewhere, some commercial company maybe. Look polished. They laugh if you show D specs and D man. I was thinking make a public wiki project to create D material, but it need marketing to get through. And students don't trust D. You get no job with D. You start a probe period at intern place often with Microsoft technology and continue to non-programming positions later. Where D fits in?
