### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Pretty Good
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013*

I have worked with vi for a number years, but never delved into it in any depth.  I was content to use it for basic editing and use another editor dor anything complex.Recently, I have had to go back and forth between editors. It just made sense to use one editor if possible. This book was a good review and overview of vi. I plan on using vim, but the lessons in this book carry over to vim as well.If you are a vi/vim power user, you can skip this book. It is clearly targeted to the newbie or someone like me that needed a refresher before deling deeper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good explanation and flow

I read a lot of technical books. I find many of them have a lot of fluff and or "how-to's" that don't work out. This book is an easy read for a technical book, and gets right to the needs many users have in terms of using vi. I am a very experienced technology and linux veteran, and found it insightful even with my experience. I have added this book to my "keep around all the time" technology book set - a very small group of books on that elite list.

    worth every penny

I always knew there is a vi/vim editor available on my Linux install.  Up until now, I always used nano editor to edit linux configuration files.  This book teaches me how to use vi in a very practical manner. Somehow the author was successful in describing how to use the "editor" without boring the audience.  I was at 50% of the book when I stopped reading and started using vi instead of nano. I am finding text editing with vi to be much quicker than using nano. Looking forward to reading the rest.Update - OK now I completed the book and my rating does not change.  For 99cents Kindle version, this is a steal for people who know nothing about vi/vim!
