It depends on how green you are to programming etc. When I started
using emacs I knew nothing. In fact, I started using emacs in order to
learn something about 'C', my first attempt at a programming language.
What worked for me was first:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html
to start with the simplest concepts. Then on the emacs menu:
Help => More Manuals => Introduction to Emacs Lisp
Then practise, practise, until the 'eureka' moment. It doesn't take too
long for that moment to arrive.
