Honestly: this doesn't seem appropriate to me as a start. The book
seems to advanced if you want an introduction into Elisp...that's
specialist literature, it might be a very good book, but probably not to
learn how to go the first steps in Elisp. And also not the further
steps in Emacs.
And the second tip just adds even more barriers at this beginner level.
It might be fun and exciting to use the newest sources, but this is
definitely not related to learning Emacs - it's distracting and
unnecessary unless you are very excited and have a lot of time. One can
do this later or. It's not good to advice people to do this - especially
beginners.
Michael.
