This is a joke, isn't it?

When learning a language it's better to take a look at polished code
that uses this language's idioms.  Xah's on a crusade against even the
most basic stuff like correct indentation...

The best resources for elisp are

  (info "(eintr)Top")

and

  (info "(elisp)Top")

together with the online help (`C-h ?').  All of these are included in
emacs.

And of course, you learn a language best by speaking/programming in it.
But Drew already said that.

Ah, and there's this (and other emacs related newsgroups) + #emacs on
freenode where you can ask your questions.

Bye,
Tassilo
