So you've installed Emacs. Now what?

Well, you can start the tutoral by pressing C-h t, and that's not a bad place to start. If you're completely new to Emacs, the Emacs Prelude package offers a nice set of sensible defaults and packages.

The best documentation on Emacs Lisp is... shipped with Emacs itself!

From the EmacsWiki Entry:

EmacsLispReference is the official Emacs Lisp documentation. It is built into the Emacs Info pages and is the go-to for most Elisp programmers. It is shipped with Emacs and can be accessed by the menu bar, with M-x menu-bar-read-lispref, or from the top page of InfoMode.

EmacsLispIntro is a book for non-programmers available from the Free Software Foundation and is shipped with Emacs. Its command is mM-x menu-bar-read-lispintro.
