* Wow! Thanks for posting this topic and your techela. * Suggest an "Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" and OrgMode be everyone's first, and maybe last, required course in grade school--other than Reading, Writing and Arithmetic of course!
* Suggest all students download this free book and conquer it: http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/robert-chassell/an-introduction-to-programming-in-emacs-lisp/ebook/product-17413062.html ** A masterpiece by Robert J. Chassell. * Also suggest his free online copy of "Software Freedom: An Introduction", for more philosophy on the Free Software movement, to benefit students and teachers. ** Most especially chapter 13, which covers why non-free software limits learning--and a whole lot more: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/softfree/softfree/software-freedom.html?revision=1.23#Limits-to-Learning On Sat, Dec 20, 2014 at 5:48 PM, John Kitchin <jkitc...@andrew.cmu.edu> wrote: > All of the code is here: > https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/tree/master/techela > > and there is some documentation in the README. > > I am not sure how much work it would take to try it yourself though.
