Actually, no, there isn't. Frustratingly enough, the only real way to
learn it is to read the GNU books, or the 2 brief books on Emacs lisp
that have some examples.
Basically you just have to read lots of .el files and try to mess
around with your own emacs, ask people on this list or others and move
ahead.
It sucks. But, ya know, if you're going to learn a language, in the
end most of the learning comes from looking at other people's code.
