Working on a new short Emacs series
It's been quite some time since my last Emacs video. The lack of content has been for two reasons. One was my overall feeling of burnout and the other was that most of my videos involved looking at new packages and I really wasn't playing with anything new.
Now that I've started my retirement the burnout is gone and I'm starting to think about what my next adventures will be. As I start figuring out the big picture I thought I'd get back to some Emacs content.
What's on tap?
I'm thinking about a short series on elisp. Now, I'm no elisp master - I've only done enough to get by but I think that could make for some nice beginner content and I'm sure I can count on the Emacs community to (in a nice way) tweak my content towards best practices.
The plan is to start from the basics and ultimately write a few interesting functions. Maybe a minor mode or two. Probably nothing hugely useful but something that will illustrate the concepts. That said, I want the examples to be at least a little useful and not totally contrived.
I also figure that I probably won't be doing laundry lists of functions or going over all the different ways of doing things but hopefully I can provide pointers and process so other elisp beginners can find their way to the info they'll need for their specific projects.
So, stay tuned and look for more Emacs content to come.
