Here's how I learned it. I downloaded it, installed it, ran it. Then ran the built-in tutorial and worked my way through it slowly. I then started using it for every day editing. I then created my own cheat sheet (in Emacs) based on commands I needed immediately. As I needed to do more things I extended the cheat sheet. I worked through online tutorials and read Stack overflow to figure out how to build out my .emacs file with the options I needed. Been using for more than ten years now and still learning!
