Description

GNU Emacs is the most popular and widespread of the Emacs family of editors. It is also the most powerful and flexible. Unlike all other text editors, GNU Emacs is a complete working environment--you can stay within Emacs all day without leaving. Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition tells readers how to get started with the GNU Emacs editor. It is a thorough guide that will also "grow" with you: as you become more proficient, this book will help you learn how to use Emacs more effectively. It takes you from basic Emacs usage (simple text editing) to moderately complicated customization and programming. The third edition of Learning GNU Emacs describes Emacs 21.3 from the ground up, including new user interface features such as an icon-based toolbar and an interactive interface to Emacs customization. A new chapter details how to install and run Emacs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, including tips for using Emacs effectively on those platforms. Learning GNU Emacs, third edition, covers: * How to edit files with Emacs * Using the operating system shell through Emacs * How to use multiple buffers, windows, and frames * Customizing Emacs interactively and through startup files * Writing macros to circumvent repetitious tasks * Emacs as a programming environment for Java, C++, and Perl, among others * Using Emacs as an integrated development environment (IDE) * Integrating Emacs with CVS, Subversion and other change control systems for projects with multiple developers * Writing HTML, XHTML, and XML with Emacs * The basics of Emacs Lisp The book is aimed at new Emacs users, whether or not they are programmers. Also useful for readers switching from other Emacs implementations to GNU Emacs.

Author's Bio

Debra Cameron is a freelance writer who has written books on the Internet, the World Wide Web, UNIX standards, and security. In addition to writing, Deb speaks at conferences and teaches classes. She was keynote speaker of the 1996 WebAware Ireland conference in Dublin. She enjoys proselytizing vi users and convincing them that Emacs is not just an editor, it's a way of life. Deb enjoys bike riding, savoring chocolate, and reading mindless detective fiction as well as children's literature. Deb lives with her husband Jim and children Megan and David in Bellefonte, PA. You can write to her at [email protected]. Bill Rosenblatt is a native of Philadelphia. He is director of publishing systems at the Times Mirror Company in New York City and a contributing editor of Advanced Systems magazine. He received a B.S.E. from Princeton University, and an M.S. and A.B.D. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, each in some variant of Computer Science. His interests in the computing field include software engineering, object-oriented systems, databases, and programming language theory. Outside of the computing field, he's interested in jazz, classical music, antique maps, and Sherlock Holmes pastiche novels. Bill lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He wishes his landlord allowed pets so that he could truthfully claim to have a dog and cat with suitably droll names like Coltrane and Ravel.
