Writing English words and writing code are very different activities. When programming, you spend more time switching files, reading, navigating, and editing code compared to writing a long stream. It makes sense that there are different types of programs for writing English words versus code (e.g. Microsoft Word versus Visual Studio Code).

As programmers, we spend most of our time editing code, so it’s worth investing time mastering an editor that fits your needs. Here’s how you learn a new editor:

• Start with a tutorial (i.e. this lecture, plus resources that we point out)
• Stick with using the editor for all your text editing needs (even if it slows you down initially)
• Look things up as you go: if it seems like there should be a better way to do something, there probably is

The problem with learning Vim is not that it's hard to do—it's that you have to keep doing it. This guide attempts to break that cycle, so that you can learn it for the last time.

There are dozens of Vim references online, but most of them either go ninja straight away, or start basic and don't go much deeper.

The goal of this tutorial is to take you through every stage of progression—from understanding the vim philosophy (which will stay with you forever), to surpassing your skill with your current editor, to becoming “one of those people”.

There will be plenty more Vim to learn, but you'll never have to start over again.

In short, we're going to learn vim in a way that will stay with you for lifevim

Create your own shortcut collections by importing from a large public database of shortcuts (VSCode, Vim, IntelliJ, Gmail, Notion, Excel, etc.). Learn and practice exactly the shortcuts you need. KeyCombiner facilitates learning with advanced statistics and spaced repetition methods. Share your collections with friends or colleagues to establish common knowledge.vim

This web based service allows anyone with little or no design experience to create professional looking posters, reports, flyers, infographics and presentations with easy to use design tools.

Piktochart is a web based design tool that comes with an extensive set of functions that can tailor any of the free themed templates to your needs, or you can start with a blank template to create high quality projects.

This free service has a surprising amount of high quality elements to choose from. Insert ready to use charts, maps and videos (from Vimeo and YouTube) or pick from many background colors, patterns and textures, resizable graphics, shapes, icons, photo frames and text frames.

Photos can be inserted from Unsplash and photos by Pictochart designers. You can also upload your own JPG, PNG, GIF, or SVG files. Free accounts have a 40MB image upload limit.

There aren't a lot of free themed templates to choose from but they can be extensively customized with the many design elements. There are twelve themed presentation templates, twelve infographic templates, and nine printable templates.map vim

Emacs wants you to install unauthenticated code off of a wiki; I can help.

Are you a programmer? Do you use a text editor? Do you install any 3rd-party functionality into that text editor?

If you use Vim, you’ve probably installed a few vimballs from vim.org, a website only available over HTTP. Vimballs are fairly opaque; if you’ve installed one, chances are you didn’t audit the code.

If you use Emacs, you’ve probably installed some packages from ELPA or MELPA using package.el; in Emacs’s default configuration, ELPA is accessed over HTTP, and until recently MELPA’s documentation recommended HTTP as well.

When you install un-signed code into your editor that you downloaded over an unencrypted, unauthenticated transport like HTTP, you might as well be installing malware. This is not a joke or exaggeration: you really might be.1 You have no assurance that you’re not being exploited by someone on your local network, by someone on your ISP’s network, the NSA, the CIA, or whoever else.palm vim

Brief: In this article, I’ll show you some of my favorites Vim tricks with practical examples. If you don’t use Vim, these tips might not give reasons for using Vim but if you use it already, you’ll definitely become a better Vim user.

Even if I recently started to use Atom more and more, I can hardly pass a day without using Vim. Not because I’m forced to. But because I feel that comfortable.

Yes, comfortable. A very strange word when talking about Vi or any of its clone isn’t it? And I agree, it is certainly not the most intuitive text editor.

But with some practice and by training a little bit your memory, you can perform apparently complex editing tasks in only a few keystrokes. Something that I’ve never really found with any other command line text editors for Linux.vim

Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js

Passport is authentication middleware for Node.js. Extremely flexible and modular, Passport can be unobtrusively dropped in to any Express-based web application. A comprehensive set of strategies support authentication using a username and password, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Passport is authentication middleware for Node. It is designed to serve a singular purpose: authenticate requests. When writing modules, encapsulation is a virtue, so Passport delegates all other functionality to the application. This separation of concerns keeps code clean and maintainable, and makes Passport extremely easy to integrate into an application.

In modern web applications, authentication can take a variety of forms. Traditionally, users log in by providing a username and password. With the rise of social networking, single sign-on using an OAuth provider such as Facebook or Twitter has become a popular authentication method. Services that expose an API often require token-based credentials to protect access.

Passport recognizes that each application has unique authentication requirements. Authentication mechanisms, known as strategies, are packaged as individual modules. Applications can choose which strategies to employ, without creating unnecessary dependencies.

Despite the complexities involved in authentication, code does not have to be complicated.vim node

There are a lot of text editors out there; why should you spend your time learning about and using Atom?

Editors like Sublime and TextMate offer convenience but only limited extensibility. On the other end of the spectrum, Emacs and Vim offer extreme flexibility, but they aren't very approachable and can only be customized with special-purpose scripting languages.

We think we can do better. Our goal is a zero-compromise combination of hackability and usability: an editor that will be welcoming to an elementary school student on their first day learning to code, but also a tool they won't outgrow as they develop into seasoned hackers.

As we've used Atom to build Atom, what began as an experiment has gradually matured into a tool we can't live without. On the surface, Atom is the modern desktop text editor you've come to expect. Pop the hood, however, and you'll discover a system begging to be hacked on.vim
