that info page assembled out of SO questions is pretty neat.

I've been asking questions about Elisp for a while, hoping to build up a body of work that I can reference. There's a whole bunch from anon that are from me before quit in frustration. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170528/writing-hello-world-in-emacs http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170528/writing-hello-wor... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2260294/awk-print-2-1-in-emacs-lisp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2260294/awk-print-2-1-in-... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1642184/extracting-urls-from-an-emacs-buffer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1642184/extracting-urls-f... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2032503/getting-stock-prices-from-yahoo-with-elisp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2032503/getting-stock-pri... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1541682/lisp-script-to-parse-csv-and-generate-html-table http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1541682/lisp-script-to-pa... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264286/generating-a-quiz-in-emacs-lisp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264286/generating-a-quiz... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2263983/processing-command-line-args-left http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2263983/processing-comman...

Basically, the HN crowd could help make short work of building a great starting point for less popular topics like Elisp, Haskell, Scala, Scheme, CL, etc. One technique that is particularly useful is to solve small real-world problem.

  I appreciate your effort. The questions are interesting, and it's educational to read through the answers since the problems are the right size, more than just "find the right Emacs library function" but short enough to read through in a few minutes.
