It depends on how green you are to programming etc.  When I started
using emacs I knew nothing.  In fact, I started using emacs in order to
learn something about 'C', my first attempt at a programming language.

What worked for me was first:

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html

to start with the simplest concepts.  Then on the emacs menu:

Help => More Manuals => Introduction to Emacs Lisp

Then practise, practise, until the 'eureka' moment.  It doesn't take too
long for that moment to arrive.
