Re: [Ghm-discuss] The Ultimate Emacs Course

[jemarch]

Hi Henrik.

   jemarch, some comments about the course:
   I (emacs users for years) often get the question from 'my' students what 
   IDE I would chose if I was to start programming today. This is an 
   interesting question, which I don't really know the answer to. Even 
   though I tell the students that Emacs can do quite a lot more than to 
   program C in, I think the question is valid.

   As a consequence of that I think an interesting aspect of your course, 
   given that you have plenty of time (5 days), could be to compare Emacs 
   to newer IDEs. As an example I find the refactoring features in Eclipse 
   very useful (given a VCS that can deal with renaming files and dirs for 
   this is very*2 useful).

That is a quite interesting point indeed.

My intention is to show the use of CEDET with the several languages
supported by semantic (this includes Java). As an exercise of that
part we are going to code some missing refactoring functionalities
using the semantic API, incorporating the result in senator.
