Description
Vim Scripting course. Vim is a great editor, but it’s definitely not perfect. Despite the wide range of built-in tools and commands, there is always one or two vital features missing. Unfortunately, the critical missing features and how they are presented are different for each Vim user. Fortunately, Vim provides a way for any Vim user to modify, enhance, and extend Vim using its built-in scripting language. Developers are only as good as their tools, and a developer’s most essential tool is their editor. Designed for beginner to intermediate developers with some Vim scripting experience, this course teaches you how to make Vim scripting much more powerful and much easier to use.
