On a related note, "programmers" are called "software engineers" in the
US, at least in Silicon Valley.

Getting back to the tutorial question, with the remote chance that you
know Turkish as well, there is

That tutorial still uses std.cstrea

Yeah, one of the reasons why it made sense to me I guess, as the
term's "informatica" in Romanian, so the mental link was instant
even if I probably never heard it used in English before.
A programming language that doesn't put effort into teaching
people how to use it isn't exactly likely to end

Hm, to me "informatics" made sense :) Not sure if I ever heard it
used in English, but it sounds more suitable than "computer
science", which (no matter how it's officially used) sounds like
it would include everything that deals with computers, so hardware
as well.
As for what Jesse said, yeah, k

Most of "Computer Science" is not about computers, and most of it is not a
science. It's more a cross between mathematics and engineering.

Since you got your answer I would just like to point out that this is not the

With D you may learn some ideas of informatics.

Well, I was just looking through examples, and if those used scanf
I assumed that was the way to go...
Thanks, actually learned a few more things out of this (auto and
try). No idea what the parameter after catch is supposed to do,
what cast is or how to use parse since it was just mentioned, but

I've not time for a more full answer now (I'll try later), but please,
for the love of God, don't use scanf! As a general hint, use
std.stdio.readln to get input as a string, then use the `to` function
found in std.conv to convert it into what you want:
auto input = readln();
auto asInteg
Now I guess this has been asked and answered 1000 times before
around here, but looking through discussions that don't even seem
to thread properly (unless you're in the archive) would just
confuse me more, and the few attempts at D tutorials for people
