The code samples are extracted automatically. True, not in the order they appear in the book; the file names are based on chapter names.

True, not all pieces of code are extracted: Only the ones that define main() and not have any non-standard import (anything other than std and core).

And to test, all those code samples (and some others that don't have main()) are automatically compiled and executed before put in that zip file.

Brother Ali,  may I have copyright permission for "Programming in D" examples for COMMERCIAL use in creating a Udemy D tutorial course?

Wy samples will be mostly exhaustive, expanding snippets, and even adding some from scratch.  I get frustrated when I see example snippets without context.  I always want full working code, so I can play with it.
And so that's what I am building.

Copying the 1 old book everyone has read may not be effective. I'm pretty sure every piece is common knowledge while there's allot of other stuff 80% of the community hasn't touched

Totally agree, but one must start somewhere.  The two books: Programming in D and The D Programming Language (a bit obsolete) are a good start.

I think that if someone is starting with "Programming in D", that sample code that is exhaustive would be helpful.

I am one of those where code snippets are not an effective way to learn.
I need real working code that I can "play" with.

Turning a code snippet into a working example can be a good exercise.
Taking a piece of non-running code and making it run, helps you to
better learn the language and makes you a better debugger.

I also agree having full working examples is useful to fall back to if
one gets stuck.  The w3schools.com tutorials are a good example.  Code
snippets are provided when discussing features of a language, and full
working examples are available in their playground via a "Run example"
button.

Everyone learns differently.

It'll be great to see what you come up with.  Thanks for taking such a hands-on approach!
