@Jason_Dodd It's about time! er, I mean: Welcome!
Let me know if you have questions, and also let me know if there's a coding language or syntax for which it might be helpful to make Emacs aware of. There may be a package that you can install to help you want to use Emacs (nxml-mode was one of the things that got me addicted to Emacs, because at the time I was doing nothing but XML at work).
