At first my university use python for the basic programming course but halfway we integrated to dlang and we were really confused on what dlang actually is. The lack of tutorial and coming from the python language is really a challenge to learn D. We haven't gotten any big projects mostly just solving stuff in codeabbey (mainly because it's one of the only website that support D but we are maybe moving into codeforces because they recently added dlang support), all in all i'm still really confused like there's nowhere i can go sometime to ask about this but i've been trying to get back at c and it definitely helps

well wish me luck for my university course, i've been reading a lot of programming language before coming to college and i thought i had everything prepared but turns out life can really throw a curveball at you

P.S if you have any guide on how i can approach this let me know :)

Come to the forums at https://forum.dlang.org/ and we can help!

[mfaathirarsa]

Will do, I've never been on the forums before but I might start looking into it

I used this website to learn D: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/

[mfaathirarsa]

Yeah I've been using this too with Mike Shah videos

Thank you so much, we always use your resources and it's basically our main go-to if we don't understand anything from dlang.org (which happens majority of the time) I hope you can keep making videos and maybe start doing some programming problems so we can better understand where each syntax is used

I am truly thankful and will continue to binge watch your vids

Here's also a GPT for learning D (might require a ChatGPT subscription): https://chat.openai.com/g/g-QHX6wnuyX-d-teacher

[mfaathirarsa]

Yeah this looks really good but sadly needs a subscription, not really viable for the college me now but who knows maybe some of my friends will buy a subscription and we can learn together

Thank you for this normal gpt like ver 3.5 or ver 4 (from bing) is really bad at coding with d so this Will help a lot

this seems a bit bizarre to me - if you are teaching basic programming then you should stick with one language. what is this "university"?

[mfaathirarsa]

It's bizzare to me too, we changed professor halfway through the semester because the course is being teached by two lecturers. One of the reasons that he listed is python doesn't really train your critical thinking and our seniors who is taught python is worse than the generation before them that is being taught in c/c++, but the professor want a more "modern" language that's why they chose dlang (also dlang is way harder to got because of its "obscure" state) so here in Jakarta state university dlang is our main language for programming
