This is a very honest course that brings a lot of fresh information as opposed to the many lighlty researched ones I have seen.

I had a hard time seeing the curso in VI when instructor was moving on the screen. Wish it was highlighted or a different color. Great information and examples.

This is one of the goods course on Udemy. I am regulare user of Vi/VIM but learned a lot of concept after going through the course material. The pros are: 1. Topics are well organised. 2. Covered most of the topics. 3. Explained the topics and showed the demo right after it. 4. Cheatsheet are given in the end of each section. The cons are: 1. Most of the times it's very hard to follow the cursor as the color fo the cursor almost mached the background. (If that is fixed then I would make it 5 star.) 2. The resource documents are not properly named. Over all, I enjoyed watching the videos and of course, learned what I was looking for especially contents like handling registers, advanced navigation, setting up options, etc. Thanks!!!

a good introductory course; the only problem is that in the examples the cursor is not always clearly visible which makes them hard to follow

Recording software shows the key that was pressed but it is difficult to follow what is happening in the editor.

The course is good. It covers all the basics of vi and vim, which you would need if you did not have better editor available.

Learned a few new things. Only suggestion that I have is please highlight the line where the cursor is. It is very difficult to follow if you can not see the cursor.

really good overview, wish that he could dive deeper, but it is enough to increase productivity significantly

I miss a couple of things: * More about VIM specifics * A bit better organization (for instance, the chapter about recover a file barely talks about recovery itself...) But it is nonetheless a good course

A very good course + a lot of material covered in a very clear way. The speaker could be a little bit faster (as watching at 150% is still OK), and also a few more topics could be covered in the "Visual Mode" section - especially the column edit mode. But, overall it's still a 5-out-of-5!

The audio of the course is very good but video is blurred. As a result it is impossible to follow the author and type on your computer.

This is a must take course for sysadmins, devops and open source developers. Ahmed does a great job of presenting the material; making it easy to understand by providing many practical examples of commands you will likely use on a daily basis. I actually learned as much, if not more, in this 4 hour course than I did after reading an entire 400+ page book on the vi editor.
