Course Request - Vim

I really liked your idea of walking students through your setup, talking about common configuration problems, etc.

And actually, another question - what kind of material do you want on Vim? Do you want to learn about the basics (hjkl movement, insert mode vs. normal mode, etc.), the advanced stuff (the jump list, VimL), working with specific plugins (rails.vim, fugitive, etc.)?

I'd say this is the best format for learning about Vim. Vim can be learned from a book. So can Ruby. You guys teach Ruby. And as it turns out your Ruby deep dive is one of the best video courses I've ever had the joy of learning from. I'd say using Vim is similar; after all most of Vim is text, so is Ruby and CSS. Right? I personally can't find any worthwhile material on Vim and that is the reason I came to you guys. I'm sure the rest of the community would also very much enjoy a course like that.

Rafal Chmiel - what would say to something more like a podcast than a Treehouse course?

Hmm, I guess that would work. In fact, that could work fantastically. The idea that I'd know when the new episode comes out would make me more interested in the topic. You'd have to start with something easy, and then once you've described the intermediate-level stuff, you could simply continue with tips and tricks a la Bonus Content/Treehouse Quick Tips.

Where do you think a series like that should start? Super-basic with hjkl? Assume people have gone through vimtutor? Assume that they're comfortable working with their vimrc file?

Not making any promises, just thinking through possibilities :)

I'd say something along the lines of a ten-minute super basic to basic walk-through of all the basic functions, and then continue with the quick tips idea I mentioned earlier.

Awesome, that's great to hear!
