+1 and not to forget eldoc (M-x eldoc-mode)[1] that displays the
description of a variable or the arguments of a function in

For hacking Org mode in particular there is a "Hacking" section in the

For getting in touch with Emacs Lisp there's Xah Lee's Emacs Lisp
Tutorial, too[3].
HTH & happy hacking,
