Product Description

Product Description

Real Linux users don't use GUIs. No matter how popular, slick and sophisticated the interfaces become for Linux and UNIX, you'll always need to be able to navigate in a text editor. The vi editor is the original standard UNIX full screen editor. It's been around almost since UNIX began and it has changed very little. To get around the limitations of vi the people at Bram Moolenaar created the vim editor (the name stand for VI iMproved). It contains many more features than the old vi editor including: help, multiple windows, syntax highlighting, programmer support, and HTML support. All of the books published to date focus on vi alone not the expanded vim shipping with every major Linux distribution. In true New Riders' form, the vim reference will be a definitive, concise reference for the professional Linux user and developer. This tutorial takes a task oriented approach allowing you to learn only the commands that make your job easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Improve your productivity with "Vi Improved", 28 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I had been using Emacs quite productively for a couple of years now, but never really got around to learning 'vi' properly. I knew most of the basic keystrokes and could get by and was quite happy in my Emacs environment.
Since moving jobs, I found that more of my colleagues prefered using 'vi'. At this point I decided maybe I should invest a little more of my effort to learn 'vi' properly. The built-in help and tutorial is great in 'vim' but didn't really give me all the basics in one small section.

I was aware of a great selection of books dedicated to Emacs and vi, so I expected to find many books dedicated to 'vim' but was surprised to only find this one. This was not a problem though, as this is a great book and contained all the material I was looking for.

The author is an extremely experienced software developer who has been developing C++ programs in a unix environment for many years. He has a great way of describing things in very simple ways, and showing great working examples to show you how to apply features of the editor in common day to day program and markup editing situations.

If you are going to learn one programmers editor then 'Vim' is the one to learn. Its available on all computing platforms and can be found everywhere. If you consider yourself a professional software developer, buy this book and learn 'Vim' as its an investment well worth making.
