RT 2011: Screencast 03 - emacs part 3 - org-mode and babel

In part 3 of my series on emacs, I walk through the basics of org-mode - a tools for outlining, writing, programming, and doing repeatable research. org-babel inside of org-mode allows code from a large number of programming languages to be written and run inside of an org mode file.

However, this video does not cover many useful features that are available. Of significant note are the agenda functions for scheduling and tracking tasks.

This video is for the 2011 Research Tools (ESCI 895-03) course at the University of New Hampshire in the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) / NOAA Joint Hydrographic Center (JHC).

No need to restart Emacs after entering the .emacs file. Just do M-x eval-buffer.
