emacs-from-scratch VS .emacs.d

I am building an emacs config, I have got a list and plan of what I want, but I am not sure where I start building, are their any guides or docs on how to build a config from scratch, explainations of concepts like lazy loading, how the different package managers work and what they do, and all the built in emacs concepts and features I have gone though this tutorial, but it doesn't explain anything and doesn't show how to customise anything.

Check out the YouTube channel System Crafters, he has a multipart series "Emacs From Scratch" where he goes over setting up his Emacs installation and setup, and other videos showing how you can do all sorts of things.

There are guides and even video series that cover a lot of beginner stuff. masteringemacs.org has a lot of great articles, and the System Crafters YouTube channel has a lot of great looking stuff.

Hey, I recently set up mu4e following SystemCrafter's guide and was pleased to find everything worked upon setup.

This Youtube Channel has a lot of emacs development, even there's a course to learn emacs lisp.

Depending on what you are looking for, System Crafters has a lot of Emacs content.

A bit older http://emacsrocks.com One of my favourite episodes being http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html the ending is just awesome.

System Crafters yt channel is much newer and also amazing https://youtube.com/c/SystemCrafters

After a month or so, if you're still curious, try https://emacsrocks.com/

17 small length video tutorials of great quality (as informative as fun)

https://emacsrocks.com has lots of quick/digestable demos. This one is a favourite https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html (the ending is great, stick with it).

If anyone's looking for short demos, the https://emacsrocks.com shorts are great. My all-time favorite is https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html (well worth watching the ending).

Emacs Rocks! - A bunch of cool short videos that showcase cool tips and tricks.

We will mainly look at 3 packages: s.el, f.el and dash.el. Two of these packages (first and last) are maintained by Magnar Sveen, who are also known for Emacs Rocks and What The .emacs.d (which are still great resources for learning and finding inspiration for your Emacs configuration!). We will also look at ht.el. These packages are used a lot in many of the Emacs packages you use in a day to day basis, like lsp-mode and rustic just to name a few. As most of these already have tons of examples in their READMEs, my main goal of this article is to inspire you to check them out. Hopefully you will know of one new package after reading this article :)

Emacs Rocks!

Maybe you've seen them already but there's also http://emacsrocks.com/ videos, emacsconf too
