hi guys~
i'm learning C++ with emacs but i do not know much on emacs so i want to pick some books to help me, someone suggests GNU Emacs published by O'Reilly, so i want some comments from anyone who read it through before, is it good book, or say good enough for telling us everything about emacs intergrated with C++ ? I'd appreciate any response, thanx.

why emacs?
because emacs is a great editor.Originally Posted by sand_man
Dont by a book, open emacs,
click: Help -> Emacs Tutorial
(or press C-x h)
have a read through that and you'll know enough to get started.
Don't read a book on emacs, use vim.

that isn't the emacs logo but the standard gnu ox logo. As far as buying a book on emacs, I would just go with an open source book(this isn't the same book though) A tutorial
Oh, and I have to push vim also
If it is this book you are referring to, it is a good intro to the basic usage of emacs. It covers a variety of subjects, including some of the more obscure aspects of the editor (try M-x doctor, or M-x yow [for a quote from Zippy the pinhead], of M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead [this pipes Zippy the Pinhead's quotes into the doctor program - kind of funny]) I will say that it covers the C major mode, but the coverage is not extensive. Personally I would not buy the book again - there are lots of references on the net that have good info.

Go with emacs... Great operating system... Just needs a text editor.
Anyways, yes, I would simply use online tutorials. The ones that are built in are pretty good, and there are plenty of others online.
that was hilarious. good one Zach, really good.
This is kind of funny too - its about ed, not emacs, but the dude makes a joke about the size of emacs a little bit down from the top.Go with emacs... Great operating system... Just needs a text editor.
