Man, I have never come across a piece of software which does so much. I think this is the single most amazing software I have ever come across, second only to SageMaths.
Want to surf the web through a text editor?
Yeah, sure. Try out EWW which uses DuckDuckGo search engine.
Want to practice the programming languages along-side your own project?
Can be done, as easy as a child's play.
Want to take notes, Getting-Things-Done kinda way?
Org-mode.
.... And export them to HTML/PDF/LATEX too?
Yeah, in a jiffy!
Wish to make an outline of your program?
Again Org-mode takes care of it all.
Wish to change the theme/font .... anything at all?
Hell, yeah !!
Seriously, I can go on and on about Emacs and there just are so so many amazing packages and people who make Emacs tick. People, I think apart from SageMaths if you are to learn one software then let it be Emacs. You'll know the true power of programming and the extent of insanely awesome. I am totally in love with Emacs now.
I have come to believe that if you are, even in the very slightest interested in using computers as your tools rather than just "gaming machines" or say "internet surfing" machines. Emacs is the one thing that you need to master.
I found so many interesting resources all over the Internet, yes even more so. I am gonna link to their amazing sites. I highly recommend that you look into it all. I don't even care if I have mentioned their websites in the previous introductory post 'cos everytime I visit their sites I discover something awesome. Spend some time over there.
Emacs is Sexy
Github links to make Emacs all the more awesome
Sacha Chua's Website - This one deserves an award or something. You should totally check out her notes. You are bound to get inspired by the sheer creativity;P
Emacs Life
ErgoEmacs
What the Emacs.d
There are many, many (manyyy!!) awesome websites out there about Emacs but these are the ones which are the most central to my needs ( as a beginner ) now. Also, I have these two amazing books about programming which I thoroughly intend to master in the next couple of months.
> How to design Computer Programs
> Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
These books are in another dialect of LISP, namely Scheme but I think it would be easy enough to port the code to Elisp and thus improve my understanding of the Emacs system at the same time.
The reason for this apparent "detour" being that I know for a fact that I am gonna have to type a lot, to deal with text files and commands al lot in future. So, I am just investing in the Future. I know that it's all a bit chaotic and seems random but, with me, things always fall into the same place after a while. I can't describe this feeling but my hunches and instincts have always lead me right.
