Hi,
i'm starting learning the D programming language. I think that a first starting point is a good programming tutorial (not yet available about D, but the net is full of info) and a good IDE.

I saw a lot of D IDE, some written in D itself, some as plugin for eclipse and for kdevelop or anjuta.

What about a good D ide? Does somebody know a good ide that works well on Linux Ubuntu? Thanks...

Like with any other language, it depends on what you want from an IDE.

Descent (the eclipse plugin), is by far the most advanced IDE for D at the moment and should work well on ubuntu. Code::blocks is nice too, D is supported but I'm not sure how advanced it is for D programming. In the category of lightweight editors, I find kate and scite work well for D. I don't have any experience with Poseidon or Zeus.

Can't give any one recommendation other that to at least try Descent, because it has the most advanced D specific features.

In this instance Zeus will be of no use since it is only available for the Windows platform.

It's not really true... Yep, it's an .exe, but with wine it worked. :) there are problems loading the icons, but the IDE works...

You know for some strange reason people tend to laugh at this suggestion. Yet I continue to advocate its greatness.

Hello,

I don't know if it is a *good* IDE but I use "Geany" in my Ubuntu 8.04, and it is enough for a beginner like me.

IDE at the beginning?
You must be joking :D - sorry but I believe it's not usefull to use an
IDE to learn a language. I am using only a small texteditor (the one
from window (notepad)) and the commandline compiler.
And it works well. There is no problem. ;)

All over you are able to concentrate on learning.
There are no buttons and this and this.
All in all there are a lot of teachers/profs who say:
"If you want to learn a programming language use only a texteditor".
...


Good luck.
