My name is Jim Remsik. I'm here with my friend Robert Pitts. We both have experience with the VIM editor, and we’re excited to share our insights.
00:00:15.269
Before that, I was involved in a project called HashRocket. I also worked with Hampton Catlin on CamelCasing and C Universal. You can find me on Twitter at @JimRemsik.
00:00:30.869
And I'm Robert! I enjoy music and delve into obscure and largely useless programming languages.
00:00:42.719
Before coming here, I accumulated various experiences, and you'll find me on Twitter at @RobertPitts.
00:00:54.710
We're here to discuss the philosophy of VIM. Who wants to hear about it? It’s important to understand the world we’re dealing with.
00:01:02.160
We’re in for a treat today because Robert is a bit under the weather but is still going to present, which adds a unique flavor to our talk.
00:01:19.170
We are going to learn about VIM by following a blog, as it's one of the greatest ways to absorb new information.
00:01:33.780
We have a generated Rails app and a new color scheme set up for this presentation.
00:01:41.040
We’re excited to dive into the details and walk you through this!
00:01:54.710
We have our show notes ready, and we’ll be following along with them as we proceed.
00:02:09.080
Now, about our setup: we're adding commonly ignored files to our .gitignore file, starting from scratch with the Rails environment. This should give you a clear view into what we’re doing.
00:02:27.290
We’re going to be setting up our project configuration, ensuring we stage and commit the necessary files as we go along.
00:03:01.719
We see all of our files are now updated, confirming that our setup is straightforward.
00:03:06.010
Next, we’ll run through some basic Rails commands to generate a scaffold. We’ll create a basic structure for our application with a title and body, ensuring everything is properly set up.
00:03:29.050
After generating our scaffold and running the migrations, we'll make sure that everything is up-to-date and reflects changes we’ve just implemented.
00:04:01.320
This process allows us to preview our changes and ensure our development environment is running smoothly.
00:04:16.870
Our goal is to convey how our workflow with VIM can streamline our coding process, especially as we integrate it into Rails.
00:05:12.150
As we continue to explore the functionalities VIM provides, we hope to share tips and tricks that increase efficiency in writing code.
00:05:48.300
Let’s take a look at how we can effectively navigate our code. Remember, it's all about making the most out of our tools as developers.
00:06:13.220
We’re nearing the conclusion of our demonstration. We want to ensure you are clear on how these concepts can be applied practically.
00:06:28.940
Using VIM creates opportunities for fine-tuning our development work, allowing us to better focus on the structure and the functionality of the code we’re producing.
