How to learn to program with the Raylib API.

[Alain De Vos]

I have Raylib working with Haxe & D-lang. But where do i learn to program with the Raylib API.

This tutorial looks OK.

Not quite as good as the guide for the cult classic Lazy Foo tutorials for SDL2 (and 1). If you aren't completely set on Raylib it might be worth switching to SDL just for these.

Thanks. I'm gone read https://github.com/raysan5/raylib-intro-course
And program in D-lang or Haxe.

You may also try the examples on the project website https://www.raylib.com/examples.html and use QT Creator and all it's niceties with pkg install raylib , create a Non-QT Project and add a CmakeLists.txt like:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(raylib_example LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
find_package(raylib ${RAYLIB_VERSION} QUIET)
add_executable(raylib_example core_basic_window.c)
target_link_libraries(raylib_example raylib)
include(GNUInstallDirs)
install(TARGETS raylib_example
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
    RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR}
)

For haxe, there are some examples in HaxeUI on github; https://github.com/haxeui/raylib-haxe/blob/main/examples/

I haven't actually gone through them, but saw them while exploring raylib uses, so can't vouch for any best practices. Looked sane at least!
