Let's code Emacs Lisp: creating the beginnings of a package

Geoffrey Lessel live-codes the initial development of an Emacs Lisp package for displaying reference cards in a temporary buffer.

In this live-coding session, we'll begin creating a package. The idea behind the package is to easily display and create reference cards in a temporary buffer. As I'm coding, I'm learning about interactive mode, creating windows and buffers programmatically, keymaps, and more. It had been a while since I recorded one of these videos and I didn't have the aspect ratio of my Emacs window quite right—thus the blank space on the right. I'll try to remember this next time and have the Emacs window fill the entire screen. Note that this isn't a tutorial necessarily as I'm learning as I'm going. Instead, this is a look inside the process I use to learn new concepts and put them into practice.
