Tim Ottinger - Vim Like A Pro

Further details about this book:

Some other tutorials are very good, and google/yahoo/bing/whatever can help you find them all. There are also some great books that have been written since I started this tutorial. Those books are far more comprehensive and have had a lot of investment from their publishers and editors. This little tutorial has been around for a long time and has been strangely popular. I like to think it is because I have taken a slightly different approach. I wrote this for the impatient developer. There is a certain mental model that makes mastering vim much faster. I don’t know any other materials that use the same approach, or which teach as deeply in such a small space. I’ve agonized and organized (and re-agonized, and reorganized) the tutorial for top-to-bottom learning, so that anyone who emerges from the other end of this tutorial will have professionalgrade editing skills, probably better than many of their more experienced colleagues. Whenyouaredonehere,youmaywanttoinvestinamuchmorecomprehensivebook.Iamkeenly, painfully aware of how much material I have intentionally left out. You’llbepleased toknowthatI continuetolookforthingsto leaveout,orfasterwaysto shrinkthe content. Well, that is, other than this apologetic section. I think this is one of the fastest ways to improve your use of vim, and a pretty good way to start using vim from scratch. This work started out as a web page, for free. Now I am using leanpub because I like the formats and styling I can get with their system.
