Awesome!!! I'm using Emacs as my editor of choice in the terminal, but have been to lazy thus far to really get into it for other coding stuff.
For everyone who hasn't heard of Emacs: It's a very very powerful (free and open source) text editor which is really popular with programmers. It takes a while to get used to the keyboard shortcuts, but it's supposed to make you really fast :) I recommend coming along to everyone who's getting to grips with coding, Emacs is definitely one of those things you should have seen and played around with.
I'll be there!

The basics of Emacs Emacs features The Emacs state of mind Where to find more information The Emacs has a great tutorial and help system
I particularly wish to congratulate Francis on getting funding for his Phd

very good of him to find time to give a talk!
