LazyVim for Ambitious Developers (Ebook)

After several years of using Vim motions in other IDEs, seeing a glimpse of LazyVim was enough to make me take the plunge into a full Neovim experience. I'm three months in and still feel genuine joy and excitement to open up nvim/LazyVim.

I really don't think I would be where I am without this book. I've long known about Neovim and was aware of a few programming youtubers who evangelised it, but I was always put off by the complexity of its configuration. LazyVim makes this a whole lot easier (mostly by giving you what you probably wanted out of the box), but it's still a highly configurable system with a steep learning curve. LazyVim looked cool, but I don't think I would have considered it seriously or stayed with it for long, if I hadn't found a comprehensive, well written resource in this book. I'm sure all the information I needed could have been found somewhere, but having it all in one place, without ads or up-sells or SEO garbage, was invaluable. Even then, most articles would have been specific "how to" guides which might give you the narrow answer you're looking for without helping you understand the system from a foundational level. But that's exactly what you get with this book: a building up of concepts that enable you to actually understand how LazyVim and Neovim work, rather than just answering common questions. Having said that, it's not overly theoretical or attempting to cover every corner of Neovim (of which there are heaps, and many are quite unnecessary to the new user).

I still reference it all the time, and recommend it to everyone I try converting to LazyVim! Thank you Dusty!

Modern and practical, with all of the code examples and so on. I believe it providdes you a solid base and definitely recommend it to anyone who's switching to lazyvim without a lot of prior vim experience.

The best tutorial for nvim ide case

Makes LazyVim and the underlying Neovim approachable in a clear way that's easy to follow and a pleasure to work with.

A very useful guide that includes details that other sources just assume that you'll already know, such as how the plugin system works etc. Definitely recommend for someone wanting to learn LazyVim/Neovim.

This was a great resource for getting started and learning Lazyvim. As someone who was new to vim it has been invaluable resource and made my transition more smooth. I think it's the most comprehensive resource for lazyvim. It covers all topics from beginner to advanced. I love that it was available in ebook/kindle format, which is my preferred medium.

From my point of view, the book is a perfect fit for anyone starting with Neovim. It explains the basics and teaches effective ways to navigate Neovim.

Dusty has way of writing that is easily digestable.
It's fun to read.
Highly recommended for your LayzVim Vim journey.

Very nice! I've been meaning to get into proper (n)vim for a while, but never found an approachable introduction. This was just what I needed!

Just a few minor things that I spotted:
- Would be nice to have a real cover on the ebook. My ereader now shows the table of contents when it goes into sleep mode. (It shows the first page when sleeping.)
- Chapter 12 ends with a summary mentioning the telescope-live-grep-args plugin, but it was never mentioned in that chapter. I guess it's a leftover from a previous version?
- A few spelling mistakes here and there. Unfortunately, I forgot to write them down...

Very thoughtfully written

If LazyVim is your everyday tool (and it should be), you’re crazy not to spend a few bucks for an expert to lead the way!

Excelent.

Such an effective guide for LazyVim and Vim starters

LazyVim is awesome and this is the missing guide. I learned all kinds of things, including much about Neovim itself. Well worth the read.

Is a good book with a good detail of many things of vim. Help me a lot.
