1. Use the search function in the forums, it will teach you a great deal of things.

2. Select an Agent. They will be able to answer the more technical questions that the forum doesn't answer.

3. Dump all your fears and just say screw it. Jump over the edge of the cliff into D's source code and really begin learning how it interacts with all the other parts of it, kill everything you've ever learned about coding rules and just start having fun with it. D breaks a lot of the traditional see more coding rules as it comes together and that's half of what gives it all it's power.

4. Ask questions 1 per thread in the forums and take whatever the veteran members say as being truthful but with a couple tons of salt also, many of us can be a little harsh but it's all in fun in the end.
