Sometimes I need a very very fast start on emacs. If you have the same need, put this in your init.el and live happy:
```
(cua-mode)
(setq select-active-region nil)
(setq mouse-drag-copy-region t)
(global-set-key [mouse-2] 'mouse-yank-at-click)
```

Ops I did it again. Although I repeatedly said I didn’t love emacs Lisp, I finally managed to learn it. So I want to share with you my tips, to help entering in the Emacs Lisp world in a fast, fun and easy way.

First of all Lisp is a very elegant language, as you may expect. Lisp is so elegant you will have to take your time to learn it, because it is a bit cryptic. To make things even worst, emacs function names are less than intuitive. The solution anyway is here: cookbooks!

I do not love Lisp for its ((syntax))), but Lisp rocks for its purity: in a tiny bag of concept, you get a lot of stuff.

Book review by Stefano Fago: This book introduce one of most interesting language of new wave of functional programming. You will find a complete overview of clojure language focusing in functional paradigm that can be the real obstacle for a standard developer. The author try to follow you on learning different subject with a lot of examples but sometimes it need more reflection and time to master some arguments and a syntax that may seems obscure. The book is a good starting point to introduce you to a new way of programming but also to learn some particulars aspect of Java. To consider a complete but not easy reading. However a book to have!

This is the sad true: parsing is boring. And writing parser is even worst.
If you can choose a scripting language for parsing you can think to do it in perl.
For this way, take a big breath and go in the black sea of perl's funny regexp. They are funny only if you have that special love for the regular expressions.
