Want to discover how you can edit and create text with a lightning speed in VIM? Then this course got you covered!

Not because it is the newest or flashiest, but because it's one of the most extensively used text editors in the programming business. it can be found on every type of system and more importantly it makes it possible to work / code faster than you would otherwise.

Bram Moolenaar worked on Vim for the Amiga in 1988, and the first public version (Vim v1. 14) came out in 1991. The word "Vim" was originally an acronym for "Vi IMitation," but by late 1993, it had been altered to "Vi IMproved.".

In this course you will learn coding using the Vim editor. You will learn how to use Vim at Work and be more productive with coding hours and how to join the elite coders who already use Vim. The topics included in this course are listed below:

  • Entering and leaving vi
  • Understanding the command
  • Moving a file from one place to another, etc.

It is known to be fast and powerful, partly because it is a small program that can run in a terminal. It is mainly because it can be managed entirely without menus or a mouse with a keyboard.

A basic knowledge about Terminal will be helpful for learning the course but it is not mandatory as the course is designed in such a way that the basics will be taught to you. You can take this course on any operating system platform. If you are a Windows user you need to download and install a program. If you are using Mac OS or Linux then you don't need to install anything extra.

The whole course is meant for computer programmers, people learning how to code using a programming language. It was designed for people who have never used Vim and need to learn the very basics to get started.

If you have used Vim before and are looking for a quick refresher, this course is for you.

The whole course will provide you with a solid foundation of in-depth information that will benefit your future employment options which will open up more work prospects for you, and you will be able to see your future becoming more secure.
