Hello,

Some documents/books seem to be out of date. If an intuitive 
person competent in several other programming languages and in 
abstract reasoning wanted to take the fastest route to learn 
pretty much the whole of D as it stands now, having already 
learned and used a core of the language, what is the best way to 
proceed? And how long would this likely take?

Even if it is a few years old, I would still use the book from 
Ali. Most is still valid and maybe, the online version is even 
updated, but I'm not sure on this.

A completely other approach is to try to help fixing bugs. I 
learned a lot about D, when I started doing so.

I don't know, if that is, what you wanted to hear, but I thought, 
it wont hurt telling you. :-)

Yes, the online version is more up-to-date than the print version. (By 
the way, the more-up-to-date online PDF is what would go to the printer 
anyway. I am to blame for not followin up on that.)

The book is behind a little bit but there is nothing that's horribly 
wrong. I can think of post-blit as being out-of-date because I should 
have replaced it with copy constructors, which D gained more recently.
