Vim: The Basics

Table of Contents
This is my first book on VIM. I have just over three year of experience with VIM. I believe that I have enough experience to give a good introduction to the software, while being close enough to the beginner to be able to express the ideas in a way that makes sense.

I have not included exercises for you to do. I leave it to your discretion to decide when you want to practice.

A new author from Basingstoke. Interested in technology and computing, particularly opensource and Linux.
I hope that my book will help people to discover the potential of these software options.
