Hi,

after another round of polishing, bug fixing, very useful user contributions and suggestions, I'd like to present the new home of the D language online tour:

http://tour.dlang.org/

Thank you very much to the D foundation for hosting this service!

If you would like to report errors or have suggestions, please use GitHub:

Thanks & regards,
André

Awesome! As I mentioned on GitHub, we should aim towards making the tour the target of the "Learn" link in the top navigation bar.

So, how about integrating the contents of http://dlang.org/getstarted.html into the first page (or first few pages) of the tour?

Hey, this is news to me. What are the details?

Nice work. Will this be mentioned/linked too in the Learn section of the dlang.org?

How is this deployed, don't know the server? Can anyone give me details?

Nice, I always wanted to do such a markdown tutorial on top of my D REPL. Glad you did it first ;).

This is awesome! My one complaint would be that the D logo in the upper left corner should probably go to dlang.org, not tour.dlang.org :).

This is really great! It is a good step into making D friendlier for new users.

It would be great to have translations of this tour to other languages.
Is it hard to add language selection?
I could help with Russian translation...

It shouldn't be hard, because the technical basis is there; it just needs to be made available to the user.

But I would suggest waiting until to start an effort to translate the tour into other languages until the content has gone through some rounds of reviewing and the number of pulls/errors in the content is very low.

Another more fundamental question: Is a translation really needed for the tour? I am not a native speaker but I still prefer reading technical stuff in English especially when English is the language of the original. It's hard for me to estimate the value of a translation..

Thanks & regards,
André
