Yeah LDD3 is outdated now, atleast huge amount of code is not usable as is, and for beginner, it may be difficult to figure out.
I donno when LDD4 will be out, but if authors could re-write changed stuff, somewhere online, it would be great.
There is one more link, which was updated for linux-2.6.25:

versions. In fact, we can not be sure if those modules are still
compatible with future kernel versions, but at least you try.
After all, so far, the source of all kernel versions can still be
freely downloaded from kernel.org, so there's no huge problem here
IMHO
NB: LDD3 is based on 2.6.1{0,1} IIRC, not 2.6.19
