I'm using emacs for a year now but I'm reallt bad at it, I wish there was a text like your comment with the words linked to specific webpages or videos which explain how to install everything you need for that word and show how to use it. I would link:

"Semantic navigation", "incremental search", "semantic editing", "keyboard macros", "optimized keyboard navigation", "inserting simple and complex code templates", "managing projects", "complex work with Git repositories", "regex incremental search"

Something I learned way to late was to use the build in features for learning about functions and variables.

C-h f : find help for functions C-h v : find help for variables C-h k : Get help for a key-combination

If you have helm mode installed it's often very easy to find the functions you are looking for.
