learning emacs

[Tony Baechler]

You could start with the built-in tutorial.  It's good for getting started. 
  You can also search Bookshare for Emacs books.  O'Reilly has produced at 
least one and it should be available internationally.  I'm sure there are 
lots of tutorials on Google searches as well.  If you're serious about 
Emacs, you might want to also learn Emacspeak which can enhance 
productivity.  Speakup reads Emacs fine, but Emacspeak is specifically 
designed to integrate into Emacs and offers a complete desktop solution, 
including reading mail and web browsing.  I think the Emacspeak site also 
has a brief tutorial.

Plus I am going to be doing a lot of coding on Linux over the next few months both in bash scripts python and c/c++, and as I recall there are some features of emacs that could help with that.
