I have been reading the D forums for a while and following on its
amazing progress for a long time. Over time I have even written some
basic D programs for myself, nothing major or earth shuttering. I have
downloaded and read Ali's excellent book.
I would like to dive deeper into D, however sometimes it can get
intimidating when I read some of the discussions on the forums and I
realise I know nothing. People argue on and on about a feature or lack
of and the future of the language and it starts to cast doubts on my
desire to learn and be proficient in D.
I would like to choose D as my go to language and to do that I realise I
need a mentor, someone who will walk and guide me and not get irritated
by basic questions. I am pretty much a DIY person, so don't worry about
mundane issues. I want to have someone with whom I can discuss some
practical choices and algorithms. I am a self-taught programmer and
never took CS classes. I am good in R, Python and Ruby.
Please let me know if you would like to be a D mentor.
I don't have a mentor or anything. I am doing CS next year but I went to
school and did IT there (I am almost done with school). I recommend
watching some computer science videos (like one on the fundamentals,
binary, etc.) and then things start to make more sense (atleast for me).
Also, this is a good place to ask for help and along with the IRC
channel (#d on irc.freenode.net).
