I finally decided to learn a console based text editor. I decided on Vim because it is a favorite amongst those that use ruby and go, and also Vi/Vim emphasizes minimalism in contrast to emacs. Being a complete Vim/vi newbie I decided to pick up this quick guide to learn, if nothing else, of what the editor is capable. I found it to be an solid introduction and reference to the power of Vim for all but advanced users.

I learnt the basics of vi but kept forgetting them. This book is a convenient easy to use reminder.

Reference...really? This is just a collection of listings of editor commands and keyboard mappings. In this sense, the Emacs pocket reference from the same publisher is better.

Found it to be a good reference for working in vim, well organized too.
