Hi! My name is Eduardo Ochs.
I'm the author of an Emacs package
called eev, that apparently makes
very little sense to people in developed
countries, but Brazilians usually
understand it very quickly...
anyway, the documentation and the
tutorials of eev are full of "try it"s,
and the idea is that people are going to
learn eev by trying the "try it"s...
and here is how to try eev very quickly.
The details about this presentation
are in this link here,
and I'm going to start by discussing
this part of my homepage here...
so, this is my homepage, and it has a
section about eev that is a bit below the
half of the homepage, and it has this
link: "trying eev with a sexp",
that goes to this page...
and the idea is that you just have to
mark this region here, copy it with
contrl-C, then you start an Emacs...
by the way, most systems can install either
a Graphical Emacs, also called a GUI Emacs,
and a Terminal Emacs...
the Terminal Emacs is much harder to use,
so please use the graphical Emacs.
Here is a Graphical Emacs. I'm going to
maximize its window, and we have to go
to a read-write buffer... my suggestion
is to click here, on "Buffers",
and select "*scratch*"...
then we paste this thing here
to this buffer using either
the paste button here,
or the "Paste (C-y)" here
in the edit menu... and now we go
to this position here, after
the last parenthesis and we type
ctrl-e ctrl-x ctrl-e...
and it takes a few seconds,
and it installs eev, and it goes
to the main tutorial...
and now if you execute the
instructions in the sections 2 and 3
three you're going to learn a lot
about the first half of eev, that is
elisp hyperlinks, and if you go
to the section 6... let me go there,
and let me use a smaller font here...
then you can learn a lot about
the part of eev that is useful to
most people, that is how to control
external programs [with eepitch]...
the tutorial explains everything,
and then tells people to run
this example here, that just creates
a target buffer running a shell...
and then we can type f8 and send
some commands to that target...
and then it has some other examples here,
including an example that creates
two different targets and alternates
between these two targets...
And that's it! That's how to try eev
in just a few minutes.
And here is the the page that
I was showing before... it has a section
about how to uninstall eev...
for most people just turning off eev-mode
is enough, this is explained here... but
a few people would prefer to uninstall eev.
Everything is explained here.
So, that's it! Bye!
