digitalmars.D.announce - gtkDcoding Facelift Launch

Last week, gtkDcoding saw its 50th regularly-scheduled post. 
Today marks the launch of stage two of the facelift we've been 
working toward for the last month. The new features are:

- syntax highlighting for all code snippets,
- screenshots for every example, and
- updated color-coding to more easily associate posts with the 
topics they cover.

Also of note is that each screenshot set includes:

- a shot (or two or three) of the example code in action,
- a shot of the terminal window showing any output, and
- a link (which opens a new browser tab) to the full code example,
- all these are now found within an in-page box directly below a 
page title naming the example, and
- clicking on either of the screenshots displays an overlay with 
a full-size view of the screenshot.

There will likely be minor tweaks happening over the next few 
weeks, but this is the big roll-out. I hope you all like it.

And instead of linking directly to the article, here's a link to 
the main page so you can see the entire facelift:

Thanks, Russel. And thanks for the suggestion of putting in 
previous/next links. Don't know why I didn't think of that one 
myself.

Thanks a million, times. I will like a tutorial also on D 
standard library if you have the time.

You're welcome. That's an good suggestion, but it may take me a 
while to get there (so many topics piling up as it is).

But in the meantime, you might have a look at Ali's book 
(http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html). It helped me get started.

Another is Mike's "Learning D" which I've used as a reference 
quite often: 
https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-d

Either of those should get you going and, naturally, if you have 
questions, there's a whole raft of people on here who are always 
willing to supply answers.

Thanks, Mike, and no worries. It doesn't feel like effort.

Maybe not so minor, but I think it's an important addition...

If you look in the upper-right corner of the landing page 
(https://gtkdcoding.com), there's a link to all the blog posts 
sorted by topic.

Yeah, we like it, pretty awesome! It helps much to people who 
just getting started using GtkD like me.

Thanks!

hi dear Ron,

I found that the `next link` in Page 24 made a mistake:

   "0025-creating-and-using-a-linkbutton.html" should be
                     ||
                     \/
   "0025-creating-and-using-a-linkButton.html"


thanks!
