It has been quite sometime since I’ve updated this blog. I look a break from coding in general and only in last few months have I been working on a project for work that involves Laravel. Laravel is pretty cool framework for PHP coders and enjoying what that offers so far. But today’s subject is all about Emacs.
I’ve been jumping from editor to editor. As I have been following Laravel tutorials I have been seeing how different people use their editors. PHPStorm is a popluar one for Laravel. VSCode seems to be gaining popularity. I personally have been using Sublime and that has been a good stable editor for me. Atom was good but I just found it very slow compared with the others.
Recently I have discovered Emacs editor and what interests me about this editor is that it has been around for quite some time and still being actively used and extended. It is very keyboard driven and after learning VIM key binding I’m starting to see the benefits of not reaching for a mouse all the time.
I have made a repo with my emacs configuration in it and I plan to continue updating this with new things I find. Emmet has been a good html too that used back in Sublime and import that in. I’m currently writing this article in Emacs at the moment and it recognises markdown.
I will be gathering together so resources and links that I use both for my own reference and anyone that stumbles acrossed this article and also interested in learning the world of Emacs.
