Hi all off topic a bit again. im an academic (asst. prof) in Epidemiology and have been using org-mode for about a year now. i love using org but im really not very technical at all. it has always been a dream for me to ditch word and move over to Latex and even better orgmode to write my scientific publications, writing my CV etc. The problem is i cant really find a good "for dummies" guide on how to really get started. again im really not technical so i always give up really fast on this.
Do you guys think i should give it a shot (again not very technical :)) and if so what would be the steps/guides to follow? perhaps start by drafting a CV since thats perhaps easier? kind regards Z.
