http://int19h.tamb.ru/files.html

I've never used the socket stuff there, so don't blame me for misguided 
guidance if they're shit.


 2) Database access?



I thought there was a wrapper for SQLite (www.sqlite.org) but can't seem 
to find anything to back up that belief... So I may very well be wrong.


 3) GUI?



Several.

You may want to look at the D Links in the D documentation, the links 
there generally point to useful things.

Cheers,

They aren't bad but they're pretty basic.  I'd like to work on some 
high-end socket and threading stuff, but more fundamental issues need to 
be tackled first.

Is there any cross-platform socket libraries? This looks like a good start
though.


 2) Database access?

I was also unable to find D wrapper for SQLite. Also is there something like
ODBC or JDBC for D yet?

socket.d in urllib is setup to be ported (using an abstract base-class) so
that's a good place to start. I've looked around but haven't found an
implementation for Linux yet, though I presume it's a Berkeley sockets
implementation.

Here's a starter: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue47/bueno.html

Win32 and Linux sockets are basically the same , save for =

I almost forget, I started a binding to PostgreSQL
lib pq. You can execute SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT
(maybe more)

http://dpq.sourceforge.net

missing:
- import / export
- large objects (?) 
- notifications


3) GUI?

I'm sure if this is what you mean, but Burton Radons came up with urllib 
(http://www.opend.org/urllib.zip), but it'll need at least a little 
tweaking for the current version of DMD.


 2) Database access?



There some options depending on what you want to do:
http://www.wikiservice.at/d/wiki.cgi?DatabaseBindings

Also, since MySql has a C API, it also should be fairly easy to use in D 
although I don't remember anyone trying yet.


 3) GUI?



In addition to dig and dui, there's also Atari Soldiers's windy 
(http://www.atari-soldiers.com/windy.html) and Carlos Santander's Apollo 
(http://earth.prohosting.com/carlos3).


 If not is the best way of implementing the above is to write wrappers to
 existing C libraries?



If the existing stuff isn't what you're looking for, I think it can be 
pretty easy to write wrappers. (Much easier than completely re-writing a 
project in D.)


 Also what are the differences between D's modules and Java packages? How would
 you port a package of java classes to D?
 
 I'm interested in a rich client-side development environment. Although D is in
 its early days, I think it is suited to this since it compiles to native code
 and some applications require access to system level API.
