[Learn Vimscript the Hard Way][book] is a book for users of the [Vim][] editor
who want to learn how to customize Vim.
Before reading this book you should be comfortable using Vim and know what terms
like "buffer", "window" and "insert mode" mean.
The book is divided roughly into three sections:
* The first covers basic Vim commands that you can use in your `~/.vimrc` file
to customize Vim quickly and easily.
* The second looks more deeply at Vimscript as a programming language, covering
things like variables, comparisons, and functions.
* The third walks through the creation of a sample plugin intended for
distribution to other Vim users.
Currently Learn Vimscript the Hard Way is a work in progress. Once it's
finished you'll be able to buy ebook and possibly hard copy versions. If you
want to get on the mailing list to know when it's officially completed you can
