Re: productivity tips



loads of youtube videos, and those if produced correctly can be more effective than howtos especially for visual learners. On Sun, 1 Jan 2017, Richard Owlett wrote:

+1 on org mode. Especially org-babel: you can embed "program" snippets
(shell, Python, C, R, dotty, what have you) and execute them right "off
the text", getting the result (yes, images too) embedded in the text.

When rendering the whole thing to PDF or HTML or LaTeX, the snippets
are (optionally) re-executed, keeping the results "fresh". The C
thingy is particularly impressive, since the compiler is invoked
behind the scene :-)

Once the threshold is taken, documenting stuff (for oneself or for
others) becomes fun.


That description is intriguing. Are there HOWTO's oriented to a newbie who has never seen emacs?
TIA
