== Emacs Tutorial - Beginners Mandatory ==<br />
<br />
Emacs ships with a tutorial. Just type {{Keys|C-h t}}.<br />
It teaches you all the essentials you need to know for getting started with Emacs.<br />
<br />
Intermediate to advanced users can browse in-built help with {{Keys|C-h r}}.<br />
<br />
== Info ==<br />
<br />
Detailed documentation of Emacs (and many other programs) is available thru Info. Type {{Keys|C-h i}}. This tool uses its own hypertext system to link topics and has sophisticated navigation. It was found so useful that it is now also available as a separate program (called 'info') which is installed by default on most unix-like systems.<br />

== Books ==<br />
<br />
* '''Learning GNU Emacs, 2nd Edition''' by Debra Cameron, Bill Rosenblatt, Eric S. Raymond<br />
<br />
Much better than the current, 3rd edition. The first half of the book walks you through the fundamental steps, as a tutorial.<br />
<br />
Can be obtained from O'Reilly http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781565921528.do<br />
<br />
* '''Casting Spells in Lisp (Emacs Lisp version)''' by Conrad Barski M.D. <br />
<br />
Written originally to teach some other flavor of Lisp, the book has been modified for [http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/ Emacs Lisp]. The presentation is in a form between a comic book and a manual that educates while you have fun. The best of both worlds.<br />
<br />
It can be read online [http://www.lisperati.com/casting-spels-emacs/html/casting-spels-emacs-1.html here].<br />
