So much more than a text editor, Emacs changed the way I +approach everything at the age of 15. In the two years since +discovering Emacs in my sophomore year of high school, I have been +constantly amazed at what Emacs is capable of. In this talk, I would +like to share this journey of discovery and what I've learned along +the way, beginning with what led me to Emacs. I will describe the +many ways that Emacs has shaped my life as a student, a programmer, a +violinist, and a productive and happy adolescent. In each case, I +have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out the best way to make Emacs work +for me, and I'd like to share this with others. In addition, I'd like +to take this opportunity to address some roadblocks that I have +noticed having observed some of my peers' attempts at learning Emacs +and possible solutions for those barriers, taking inspiration from +various sources both from inside and outside the Emacs community. + + + + +Back to the [[schedule]] + +All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. +<!-- automatically generated from submissions.org ---> +[[!meta title="Emacs as a Highschooler: How It Changed My Life"]] |
