digitalmars.D.announce - I wrote a little socket tutorial

A lot of people ask me how to use sockets in Phobos, so I wrote 
it up with a few samples. Not every detail you could ever need, 
but I tried to be reasonably comprehensive for new users.

Thank you!

I would like to ask you and other writers of tutorials,
to place them in the D wiki. [1]

I have put it already under the General section, maybe you would 
like to move it elsewhere.

Or directly in the Articles section? [2]

Recently many new tutorials were published and they should be 
more visible then just
in the Announce Forum.

Back when I first started D I wish this existed because there was 
virtually nothing regarding sockets back then.

It would have helped me a lot in terms of using it.

Great tutorial, 10/10.

I used this to get started back in the day:

yeah, that's one of the samples from my "D Cookbook" and I wrote 
this new thing primarily to expand upon the text there from the 
book (which was minimal).

Such code snippets are amazing for starting out. Too many 
libraries just throw the API documentation at you and figure out 
how to set up things. Especially in non-OOP languages, with OOP 
the dependencies kinda flow much better (oh, for this I need 
object of this class, so I make this, oh and now I need this 
object).

Aye. That's why my doc gen actually has hidden secret features to 
make *complete* examples inside D's documented unittest thing.

I've written a bunch of basic games with my other libs, a big one 
I always point newbies to is the pong sample:

http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.simpledisplay.html#pong

and my view is it is more fun to copy/paste something that 
actually works, then modify it to make it your own.

(the blog btw is built with my doc gen too, and the socket 
samples are all D unittests using my special features so I can 
compile and run it as well, my way of making sure my stuff 
actually compiled lol)
