This is a joke, isn't it?
When learning a language it's better to take a look at polished code
that uses this language's idioms. Xah's on a crusade against even the
most basic stuff like correct indentation...
The best resources for elisp are
(info "(eintr)Top")
and
(info "(elisp)Top")
together with the online help (`C-h ?'). All of these are included in
emacs.
And of course, you learn a language best by speaking/programming in it.
But Drew already said that.
Ah, and there's this (and other emacs related newsgroups) + #emacs on
freenode where you can ask your questions.
Bye,
Tassilo
