The problem is that if you want to get really good with Emacs it can take you an extremely long time if you're trying to learn it on your own.

That's why this Emacs course was created.

  • Create, save, and replay macros 

  • Use multiple cursors

  • Navigate quickly

When you start the course, you'll be able to use Emacs almost immediately.  I want to make sure you get up and running as quickly as possible.  That's why at the beginning of the course you'll learn how to start Emacs, how to make simple edits, and how to save your changes.

After that, we'll unleash the power of Emacs with windows, multiple cursors, file navigation all through step-by-step instruction.

The format of short concise lectures which covers a small subset of related tasks in Emacs then following it by lecture notes which visually show you the commands we’ve learned REALLY works.

The course is good, but there are some inconsistencies between the instructions in the videos and those in the notes that may trip up Linux beginners. One or two instructions no longer work, because of simple things like using http:// instead of https://
The downloading and installing instructions of modules are sloppy. Some end up in a directory off of ~, some in subdirectories off of ~/.emacs.d/, some in Downloads. Consistency would be great here.
I think overall someone would just need to go through the course in detail, and make sure everything is consistent and works, then it would be a great course.

After using a very small percentage of the features available in emacs for years I decided to really learn how to use it. This course provided a few basics that I had missed and was very good in that respect. I don't know if there are more advanced emacs course at Udemy (I will look when I finish this review). The course should have mentioned more on modes and resources and the package system. Not tried to teach them, but some explanation.

I bought the course to help me get through the Intro to Linux class I am taking. It covered the basics with navigation and some tools you can add to eMacs, but did not answer questions. I guess I will have to reach out.

not in any way complete, and quite often the instructor rushes through the keystroke instructions, such that you have to pause and rewind to really catch what's going on.

The O'Reilly book was a better investment of my time and money
