| (back to ProgrammingTips) Emacs is more than an editor - it's a lifestyle. I spent years using vi but have fairly recently started to make the investment to join the cult. I prefer emacs to IDE's because I feel that the investment in time that I spend learning it will be more likely to pay off because emacs has been around for a long time and will continue to be around for a long time. Also, more of the smartest people I've worked with have used emacs than all other development environments combined (although lately Eclipse is gaining). | ||||||||

Compiling - M-x compile, then C-x ` (i.e. back-tick) to go to the next error. | ||||||||

| Java - a good integrated development environment for Java is JDEE at http://jdee.sunsite.dk/. It's not that easy to install (it has lots of dependencies). | ||||||||

| > > | SQL - yes, there's a mode for editing SQL queries: http://www.pezaris.com/sql-mode/ | |||||||
DOS - If you have to edit DOS files (which is likely if you program for a living  then Emacs works very well indeed. You can use it to translate into DOS or Unix format : C-x RET f unix RET or C-x RET f dos RET (don't forget to save the file after you do). For more info see the manual.
