Kim Schulz has an M.Sc. in Software Engineering from Aalborg University in Denmark. He has been an active developer in the Linux and open source communities since 1997, and has worked with everything from translation and bug fixing to producing a full-blown software system.
Throughout this entire time, Vim has been Kim's "weapon" of choice and it is the first program he installs whenever he sits by a new computer.
Today Kim works as a Software engineer at CSR Plc, developing software for the next generation mobile and wireless technologies.
Kim is also the owner of a web hosting and development company, Devteam Denmark, that specializes in hosting of websites developed using the Fundanemt Content Management Systema CMS that Kim is a co-developer of.
I would like to thank my wife, Line, for letting me take the time to write this book. Without her positive attitude and help, I would never have gotten this book ready.
I would also like to add a great thank you to Bram Moolenaar for developing the Vim EditorI appreciate the fruits of your work every day.
Boris Fersing is an amateur photographer and student in computational linguistics at the University of Saarland, Germany. For his studies, he participated in many projects and used many programming languages (SML, C/C++, Java, Ruby, Prolog) and Vim was always his editor of choice.
He also worked as system administrator for a department of the University of Saarland. With this job he learned how to use some Unix tools and improved his knowledge about the Vim editor.
I really would like to thank the author for writing such a nice book. It was a pleasure to review it. The information it contains is really interesting. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn more about Vim.
Thomas Moyer is a graduate student in Computer Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. He is currently looking at areas of Computer Security including trusted computing hardware and Web 2.0 security. He spends a great deal of time using Vim for editing both code and also writing papers. He has completed a Master's degree from Penn State and is currently working on his Ph.D.
I would like to thank my wife and daughter for all of their support, and also the rest of my family. I would also like to thank the members of the Systems and Internet Infrastructure Security Lab at Penn State for their continued support.
Back in the early days of the computer revolution, system resources were limited and developers had to figure out new ways to optimize their applications. This was also the case with the text editors of that time. One of the most popular editors of that time was an editor called Vim. It was optimized to near-perfection for the limited system resources on which it ran.
The world has come a long way since then, and even though the system resources have grown, many still stick with the Vim editor.
At first sight, the Vim editor might not look like much. However, if you look beneath the simple user interface, you will discover why this editor is still the favorite editor for so many people even today!
This editor has nearly every feature you would ever want, and if it's not in the editor, it is possible to add it by creating plugins and scripts. This high level of flexibility makes it ideal for many purposes, and is also one of the reasons why Vim is still one of the most advanced editors.
Many new users join the Vim user community everyday and want to use this editor in their daily work. And even though Vim can sometimes be complex to use, they still favor it above other editors. This is a book for these Vim users.
With this book, Vim users can make their daily work in the editor more comfortable and thereby optimize their productivity. In this way, they will not only have an optimized editor, but also an optimized workflow. The book will help them move from just using Vim as a simple text editor to a situation where they feel at home and can use it for many of their daily tasks.
Good luck and happy reading!
