So you've installed Emacs. Now what?
Well, you can start the tutoral by pressing C-h t
, and that's not a bad place to start. If you're completely new to Emacs, the Emacs Prelude package offers a nice set of sensible defaults and packages.
The best documentation on Emacs Lisp is... shipped with Emacs itself!
From the EmacsWiki Entry:
EmacsLispReference
is the official Emacs Lisp documentation. It is built into the Emacs Info pages and is the go-to for most Elisp programmers. It is shipped with Emacs and can be accessed by the menu bar, with M-x menu-bar-read-lispref
, or from the top page of InfoMode.
EmacsLispIntro
is a book for non-programmers available from the Free Software Foundation and is shipped with Emacs. Its command is mM-x menu-bar-read-lispintro
.
