Welcome. Since you are used to Textmate, here is one place you might start:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TextMate

And this is another good place to start:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsNewbie

More generally, in addition to help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, which is good for
specific questions (and some discussion), Emacs Wiki is a good resource for
learning Emacs and Emacs Lisp. It's easy to search for info there.
http://www.emacswiki.org/

Also, it's always a good idea to ask Emacs itself for help and ideas. It has a
great help system, including hypertext manuals. The EmacsNewbie link above has
lots of links to info about learning Emacs and asking Emacs for help. This
includes a hands-on tutorial and Web-based guided tours and demos.

Have fun.
