I suppose you could use Emacs without learning Emacs Lisp, but where's the fun in that? You might as well use notepad++. These pages aren't intended for people wanting to learn how program.  Emacs Lisp is not a good language for beginners: if you do want to learn to program, try Python. These pages **are** suitable for newcomers to Emacs, however. - [[1 Beginning Emacs Lisp]] - [[2 Functions in Lisp]] - [[3 Interactive Functions that work on Regions]] - [[Code is Poetry]] - [[Date and Time]] - [[Emacs Windows Setup]] - [[Find and Replace in a Region - Strip Smart Quotes in a Region]] - [[Common Lisp Loops]] - [[Manipulating Strings - Yodaizer]] - [[More Collections Return to Lisp Problems Solutions]] - [[only-one-emacs]] - [[Pattern Matching- pcase]] - [[Sidebar for Emacs Org Mode]]
