Description
Vim is one of the most widely used text editors in the programming industry, not because it's the newest or shiniest, but because it can be found (or can be installed) on every type of system and more importantly it makes it possible to work / code must faster then you would otherwise.
Why doesn't everyone use Vim if it's so great? Well it does not have a standard GUI which means all the tools it provides must be memorized. People often think this is too much to learn at first and never try, but with this course, Jason Elbourne shows you the basic necessities to get up and running with Vim. The course won't take up to much of your time. They will make your day to day coding much more productive, saving you time.
Topics include:
- Entering and leaving vi
- Understanding the Command, Insert, and Colon modes
- Moving around in files
- Editing text
- Moving content with delete, yank, and put
- Searching with regular expressions
- Customizing vi
- Filtering text through shell commands

Constant state of learning, thirst for the artistic and I love the product of hard work. I try to bring the creative passion into my entrepreneurial endeavors. I currently operate 2 businesses in the fields of Architectural Design, and Computer Programming.
I pride himself on keeping things simple while have fun during the learning process.

With a down to earth and fun loving "Not So Serious" learning path, I feels my courses can make everyone feel comfortable learning even the hardest of topics.

This was a great start for a beginner vim user. Enough to get you going, but not overwhelming. Messed up text files (beyond what is included in vimtutor) to practice on would have been the only I would have liked that wasn't included.
Excellent course! This course is designed for complete beginners with no prior experience in working with Vim. I've tried several Vim tutorials in the past, including the built in Vimtutor but they all are either incomplete or didn’t explain the use of Vim in practical use case scenarios and applications. The instructor in this course Jay, on the other hand, was very thorough and leads you by the hand so to speak through the basics on how to use this fantastic text editor. He also interjects useful tips throughout the course that obviously would only come from an experienced user who uses Vim in real world applications himself. I highly recommend this course to anyone (especially coders) who want to learn to use Vim to increase their productivity and be able to understand the more advanced Vim courses that are out there. Hopefully Jay will make an intermediate or advanced Vim course as a followup to this one. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Vim. Thanks Jay.

I would have expecting more in terms of file explorer and marking the systems and movement between the files.
