Hopefully this book will help me recall all muscle memories I've forgotten since attending Drew's excellent vim workshop.


Bought it instantly. Drew is a great speaker and Vim expert. I'm looking forward to tons of tips for my favorite editor.


This books is just brilliant. Drew is an outstanding speaker, teacher and author.


I reviewed an early draft of it. It is very good!


Just to chime in, I've been reading drafts of this steadily (I think I've seen one or more forms of nearly all of it by now), and it's outstanding. I think it should be especially good for intermediate Vim users, but even newer ones could get a lot out of it.


I'm reading and reading, and can't fight the feeling that I've learned so much with this book. Thank you, oh mighty author!


On the website it is still listed as "Beta". Is it actually 100% finished?


I'm the author. Practical Vim is currently available as a beta book - containing 17 out of 20 chapters. I'll publish a new chapter every two weeks until it's complete.


Whooo Hooo, so glad this book is out. Can't wait to finish reading it.


Looks like a brilliant book. Can't wait to get stuck in.


Woo woo, been eagerly waiting for it ! Thanks Drew !


Great, that it is finally out.


At last
