No, but not that much has changed and you can always post here with questions.

Yeah, I tried to focus more on the ideas behind it than the specifics of a library. My thought is if you understand what it is trying to do, the adjustments to bring it up to date shouldn't be too hard.

It took some effort to avoid talking more about my libraries though lol. I did do a few small examples near the end of the book, and some of those have had minor changes, like I've since renamed "import simpledisplay" to "import arsd.simpledisplay". But the rest of it should still work, i try to keep things pretty stable in my libs.

BTW one of the things in chapter 2 i found surprisingly popular was the talk about std.socket. I did write a follow-up to that in my blog here:
http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2019_11_11.html#sockets-tutorial

Since the socket api is the same as C, I assumed people would know it from other sources, but the C api isn't as common knowledge as it used to be. So this tries to explain (tho even there I didn't go into ipv6 fallbacks and whatnot but it still lays the foundation).

And of course always feel free to ask here or whatever about anything, if I'm online I try to answer things pretty quickly.

It is on my list but minigui is a pretty simple class collection of basic widgets. It works pretty well now. I don't have too many intro examples yet though. My blog has one thing but it uses an experimental piece (http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2020_11_02.html) that isn't  really representative of the average program.

But if I make it to the dconf online I'll probably show off a minigui application there this year.
