Chris Power and Robert Beene • September 27, 2024 • Toronto, Canada • Workshop

Are you ready to revolutionize your coding environment? In a world dominated by VS Code and other Electron-based editors, there’s a hidden gem that developers are rediscovering: Vim. Or rather, Neovim. Just as Rails transformed web development, Neovim is redefining how we write code, blending decades-old technology with modern tooling for an unparalleled experience.

**Workshop overview** In this hands-on workshop, we dive into the world of Neovim and Zellij — showing you how to streamline your development process and achieve a true flow state.

**Here's what you can expect**
* Introduction to Neovim: Understand the core principles that make Neovim a game-changer in the modern programming landscape.
* Learn how to effortlessly manage and customize plugins to suit your unique workflow, shedding the bloat of heavier editors.
* Combine the power of Neovim and Zellij to increase developer productivity by achieving your optimal flow state.

**Key takeaways** By the end of this 75-minute workshop, you will:
* Have a solid understanding of Neovim's capabilities and how it can enhance your productivity.
* Manage workspaces using Zellij to jump in and out of projects with ease.
* Walk away with a Neovim setup that empowers you to code with minimal distractions, maximizing your efficiency and creativity.

**Why Attend?** This workshop is perfect for developers of all levels (with some familiarity with Vim) who are looking to optimize their workflow and embrace a lightweight, powerful, and highly customizable editor. Whether you’re new to Neovim or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will provide you with practical skills and insights that you can apply immediately.
