Upmodded. I've been hoping someone with more time would do something like this. I hope it doesn't die out too quickly.

I would also love to see an Emacs guru create an instructional DVD series...everything from beginner stuff up to Wizard-level tricks and tips. SLIME and elisp stuff, too. My company would pay a pretty penny for that so that we could get all of our new hires on the same page quickly...we've had to hire too many people that don't have substantial Emacs experience.

What company do you work for?

Marco Baringer's SLIME tutorial screencast is quite good. Other than that, I haven't seen much else that's worth watching.

Yeah, I've seen all the Lisp screencasts. They're great, but I'm looking for a professional training product on DVD that is sequential and really takes people new to Emacs up to proficiency and that teaches experienced Emacs users new tips and tricks. Something that is unlikely to appear for free. I'd be willing to pay several hundred dollars per license for quality training.

We have 50+ developers that are using Emacs, and a dozen more that have never used Emacs but need to do so in the future. I regularly drop coin on training materials for our design staff, but there are no compelling AV materials for our developers. There is no company equivalent to Total Training for most developer and sysadmin tasks, for example, unless you want to get an MCSE or something.

I've spent over $75K on video training for our designers this year (Total Training, Lynda, NAPP, etc.), but our developers usually end up using online documentation and a few books. I think there is a market opportunity for developer-focused video/multimedia training materials. And sysadmin stuff too, for that matter.

Are you looking for Lisp consultants?
