The content wasn't planned, and English is not my native tongue.
Hopefully it can still be useful for newbies.

This is pretty much a response to a recent discussion on the lack of documentation/tutorials: http://forum.dlang.org/post/spdddifmaacihlcumvdp@forum.dlang.org

PS: The many delays are X going black, forcing me to switch to a different terminal and back again.

Having never taken an in-depth look at vibe.d, I found the latter half quite informative. Thanks :)

Nice video! It was very good.

Is there any chance that you would be willing to share your Vim configuration? In particular the integration with DCD.

Concise and informative. Maybe a little rushed for total newcomers, but for people familiar with programming and wanting to jump into D - very well done!

Oh, and I'm using pathogen and have a symlink in my bundle folder to the DCD/editors/vim folder.

DCD includes more than what is available in the vim plugin, but I don't know enough vimscript to make pulls to update it.

Looks quite a bit better then my one that I have unlisted currently[0]. Actually goes through some development :) Although my plan was to make a bunch before saying anything (hasn't happened).

I also thought I should make a plan and do-the-right-thing, but then I just thought "what the hell". I probably won't be making many screencasts as I don't have any interest or incentive to do so, so a quick and dirty approach is better than nothing :) This video just took me ~30 minutes to make, where 24 is actually recording time and the rest is upload time.

But a well planned series of tutorials would be a very nice to have. You probably shouldn't keep it unlisted though. Just make it public, and feedback will probably drive you to keep making more :)

I just watched your video, and it goes into more details than what I did (it's also good to have an English speaker doing videos rather than my Norwenglish :)).
The fact that you're using Windows is also important to reach a wider audience.

I'll say just publish it! (and the rest of what you might have prepared)

I want to have around five before I start publishing, because of being slow to actually do it. What with projects and all.
Its too much of a I don't know if I'll even do another type of thing.

Thanks for making these videos.  Please don't underestimate their value.  Many will find them extremely useful.  I know I did.

I took the liberty of posting them on the Wiki (http://wiki.dlang.org/Videos).  I hope you'll make more, and if you do please post them there.  Otherwise, they'll just be lost in the bowels of the forum in a week's time.
