Hi, I am new to D but not to programming.  I have had some socket experience before.  How would i connect to a server using sockets in D?  A link to a D socket tutorial (if one exists) would also be appreciated.

by the way, first post to a newsgroup for me

Hi!

I'd suggest you to look at Tango as it has very impressive networking feature set.
Alternatively, you can use all those BSD sockets API functions from D directly (as you'd do in C/C++), but I wouldn't recommend going that low-lever.

Tango usually bundled with a compiler so that you get started faster.

As certain Tango users have neglected to tell you, Phobos also has a perfectly servicable socket interface in std.socket. If you know Sockets in C, you should have no problem with it.
