One thing I find useful is subscribing to a newsgroup/mailing list,
where Emacs is discussed. I continue to learn new stuff all the time.

comp.emacs is overwhelmed with traffic; I suggest you use the Emacs
ada-mode mailing list instead. It currently has zero traffic, but I
promise to read it and respond as best I can! One of my missions in
life is to spread the word about Ada and Emacs :).
