Emacsmovies.org is a series of screencasts that attempt to teach a new generation of programmers one of the most enduring pieces of free software that’s in existence today - .

It was inspired by a asking for Emacs screencasts. There are many excellent ones out there like the ones on and many others listed on . I didn’t find any that were geared towards beginners and which were comprehensive as a series. So, I decided to make these myself.

I’ve been using Emacs since 2001 or so and, while not a power user, am fairly well versed with it. Teaching is an effective way of studying and these screencasts are as much about teaching myself the editor as about sharing the knowledge. I’m not the kind of person who can learn from a screencast. I personally find them too information sparse but they seem to be popular among programmers today so I’ve chosen this as a format.

My blog post about the starting of the series . The first Emacsmovies post describing my workflow is at https://emacsmovies.org/blog/2012/01/21/welcome_to_emacsmovies.org/. Comments, as usual, are welcome.
