hello!

i would like to learn how to use emacs, but like i'm not a techy person of whatever. i can watch youtube tutorials and replicate and understand and then do things by myself.

so, i was wondering if anyone knows any goo tutorial for "our infinitely powerful editor"?

i'm currently learning basic of coding to create artsy stuff with The Coding Train. basically, if you know someone who's nice and clear like him, would be ideal. :)

oh, well, there are also different type of learnings. some people might find it difficult to read and comprehend walls of text, while a video might be way more accessible to them. it’s not always about the kids.

Yes, that's fair.

However, one must balance accessibility with quality, and many of the ones I've seen are not very good quality — though admittedly, I haven't seen Emacs-specific ones, since I'm comfortable with it & can figure things out on my own. But this seems to be true in general, across a variety of subjects I have seen them for.

Since they're targeted at beginners, the audience has no way of knowing whether the advice being given is good or not. You can follow along and it might work, but it also might be a completely preposterous way of accomplishing the goal.

that's true as it is true for any form of education though. eheh!

anyway, thank you very much for the help. would still be happy if anyone could point out a good/useful/cool video to check out. yep, i'm talking to you, lurker!
