+
+### Have you read \"Dirk Gently\'s Holistic Detective Agency\"? (Recommended!)
+
+### What is your advice to start learning elisp language ? Any particular good ressource or any other tip ?
+
+- (info \"An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp\") correction:
+ (info \"(eintr)\")
+
+- Read code, write code, read documentation, repeat. Eventually
+ you'll go from customizing Emacs to writing your own packages.
+ Emacs makes it easy to learn about the bits you're interested in,
+ you can get far with taking small steps.

+- mastering emacs <https://www.masteringemacs.org/>
+
+### Any recommendation for good packaging guides or places to start? I get a bit overwhelmed by some things e.g. the choice of different test frameworks

+- zaeph is my new role-model for speaking the English language as a

+- <http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html> Organize your life in plain
+ text
+- Supercategory --- yeah I\'ve had that use case :-)
+- I really much like this format: insight on personal development
+ without screensharing but in person
+- <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/eintr.html> Beginner
+ guide to elisp
+- edebug → awesome (info \"(elisp) Edebug\")
+- I really like this pad. +1+1+1+1
+- Guaranteed best dressed speaker, even before knowing what all the
+ others look like ;-)
+ - 3-piece suit color-coded to emacs and org-mode
+- To newcomers: in my case emacs-devel and emacs-sources were amazing
+ resources for learning; the people were SO generous with their time,
+ to share comments and ideas to improve code.
