About the Book
Wizards Use Vim is a delightful and fun introduction to the the amazing Vim text editor.
The book is at a very early stage and is an incomplete collection of rough drafts at this point. You can still join in early, get the book at a discount, experience how a book gets written, impact its development through feedback and admire how it slowly transforms from garbage to a beautiful emerald.
I'll expand on this as I continue writing the book :D
