Unleash the mighty power of Vim.
Become an awesome developer.
There's programmers amongst us powerful beyond measure. Their skills so amazing as to resemble magic. They edit code at the speed of thought, they jump and fly across the source code, back and forth, an edit here. An edit there. Boom! Improving the code with surgical precision and manifesting their thoughts into code out of thin air. And you can become one of them.
Learn Vim. Be one with the code.
From the author that brought you the acclaimed series of niche and quirky JavaScript books, the half-elven ranger, deadly archer, master of the two-handed sword and dual scimitar wielder, protector of Veleiron, Falcon of the Crepuscle, silent death of the swamps of Zulk comes a new gripping adventure of epic proportions, love, betrayal and Vim.

You have been selected, hand-picked, because you've shown promise in the arcane arts of javascript-mancy, demonstrated sound judgment and an affinity for defeating evil. Yet for all your prowess you are but a baby out of the cradle: ignorant, unknowing, with senses so dull and underdeveloped that you can't even begin to understand how much lies beyond your understanding and how far you are from achieving your true potential.
We're the keepers of balance. We keep the world from burning. The discovery of JavaScript-mancy was a magnificent moment that started an Age of Wonders. But it also means that we now have a significant part of the population of Terra with the power to level mountains and split the world apart. We live in the shadows, we counsel, we nudge, we protect and as a last resort we strike with deadly might. But that means that we have to be better, wiser, smarter, stronger and faster than other practitioners of the arcane. And that's why we cultivate The Path. And The Path starts with The Book of Vim.
This is The Book of Vim. A collection of teachings about Vim from our wisest masters of the arcane. Vim is our text editor because unlike ferals and wild mages, we carefully craft and improve our spells, an even adapt the REPL to our own personal inclinations and strengths. This book will become your closest companion for the next weeks, years and ages to come. Read it, learn it, practice it, until it becomes part of your very being. Then, and only then will you get a glimpse of the possibilities that lie beyond.
