Is it a) Through the different Manuals (there are many and they are big) b) Through a Book that puts all of the different pieces together in a concise mannner. ---------------------------------------------------------------- What do you think are the "must haves" in an Emacs book? How often should it catch up with new developments in Emacs releases? ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who own a book on Emacs: 1. What is the book you own? 2. What is "good" about that book? 3. What is "bad" about that book? ---------------------------------------------------------------- How about resources like Emacswiki, Stackexchange or Stackoverflow. ---------------------------------------------------------------- TIA for all those who check-in to this thread.
