An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp

Rating:
Summary: Great Intro to Programming
Review: I originally got this book to learn a few "tricks" to help me use Emacs. I am not a programmer, and thought programming was mysterious and difficult. However, Robert Chassell is an incredible teacher. I never thought programming could be explained so well to such as rank beginner as myself. And he makes it all seem very easy and logical. Not at all scary. I wish he taught at my college.

Summary: This book is a good start to being an emacs power user
Review: I was really excited to grab a copy of this book, and it didn't let me down. It's a gentle but thorough introduction to using elisp. I do a bit of programming in other languages, but had never tried elisp. Now I'm excited to dive in and start making emacs do (even more) work for me.
