Are you implying there is an easy way to learn Vim? :)

I remember the "Learn Python the Hard Way" web-site, but I'm having trouble even finding that. It looks like there is a book and a course instead. I wonder if the web-site version of these courses were eventually phased out?

This might be a good alternative:

Googled "zed Shaw learn python the hardest"

He has learn c the hardware too and a few others

Surprised your search didn't work, he was sort of well known for those books, and the "programming mother fucker" website

Oh wait, here it is

search by the author (zed shaw).

Sorry I wasn't very clear, but I can't find the old version of the web-site by Zed Shaw. It was a free tutorial and it sounds like it was in the same format that the OP was looking for. I can find the current web-site for the paid course and book.

My experience is Shaw adjusts availability of his work over time.

Given the strong opinions the internet including HN, often expresses about him, I understand why he might choose to do so.

He might as well get paid for suffering ad hominem I guess. And it’s entirely reasonable to reduce the attack surface.

It did used to be free. I used the site years ago for awhile before he announced that he was putting it behind a paywall (except for a few free chapters).
