Take a look there and try something like:

@media screen and (orientation:portrait) { }

For handling new behaviors on Mobile.


Thank you for the suggestions! I'll have a look.

That should be fairly easy. Added an issue on GitHub for that:

Hey André, just tried to send you email via your fortress of security
at http://www.steinsoft.net/contact. I got:
object.Exception@../../../../.dub/packages/vibe-d-0.7.22/source/vibe/mail/smtp.d(117):
Failed to connect to SMTP server at 172.17.42.1 port 25

Could you please shoot me an email
(http://erdani.com/index.php/contact/) so I can see how the Foundation
can help the project with resources?


Hi Andrei,

Oh thanks for finding the last bug on my website :-P

I just sent you an e-mail.


Great, thanks. The last bug is your contact form reads "Name:" and 
"Name:" instead of "Name:" and "Email:". -- Andrei

The sandboxing is done using Docker containers:
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour-rdmd. It's a simple container
that contains a recent DMD compiler and just runs rdmd on the
user-provided source code. The Docker container is started with network
disabled and a memory limit of 256MB. Additionally the dlang-tour app
kills all containers which takes more than 20 seconds to finish. This
solution is quite light-weight and unless Docker has any significant
security issue, should be quite safe.



I'm always open to hosting D-related projects (assuming the
requirements are reasonable).

Hi,


A few things I've noticed so far:

- Broken link: http://d-apt.source-forge.net/
- Link to redirect: http://www.dlang.org
- "D's standard build tool is dub." I think rdmd holds that 
title, Dub is the de-facto standard package manager.
- Would be nice to make the back/forward links bigger, so it's 
easier to click them. Perhaps put the name of the target page 
in the links.

- "Import's & Modules" - not a contraction, no apostrophe.
- The wording could use a do-over in places.

Perhaps put the content on GitHub to allow easily accepting 
contributions?


Thanks for the suggestions. Fixed them and the changes will be 
online soon. I will create an issue for the name of the 
next/previous section but I am unsure whether this will look good 
on mobile devices.


The content can be found here on GitHub: 
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/tree/master/public/content. The nice thing is that pull requests can be created automatically by just editing the markdown files. So if you have suggestions or find errors you would make me a big favour in creating a pull request :-)

Very nice!

How do you do the sandboxing?

The current version is running on a small testing server and I 
think we should start discussion on where this should be hosted 
for production use.
