Hello and greetings,

I'm a brand new D developer coming from Python.

I decided to move to D, mainly because it's a compiled language and has a great runtime speed (and I don't feel confortable at Cython environment at all). And of course, D has a nice community and the language has nice syntax too... and is a joy to code with.

However, I have some important production code in Python to migrate to D and every help will count !

So, can you pls guys suggest me any resource like "D for a Python Developer" or so ? BTW, I just ordered the "D Programming Language" book from AA.

Cheers

TDPL is a great book to get an idea of what D is meant to do.
But it isn't completely matching up to what D is today.
There is an errata which contains errors with corrections[0].

You may also want to take a look at[1].
Otherwise browse the official spec, that is the way I learned.

Once you've got some of the basics down p0nce has a great D idioms resource[2].

If you run into trouble, please join us in #d on Freenode (IRC).
Much easier to help solve problems since it is interactive there.

Welcome.

Bear in mind that you can embed python in your D code using pyd if you want to do the port in stages.   You can write D libraries for python too - that's a bit fiddlier though,  and docs are a bit stale.
