Oh wow, there are schools that introduce these tools?
I know that every SE degree includes a course on practices in which they go over version control, some diff tools, etc. but I wasn't aware of a school teaching vim/emacs. May I ask which school it is that is doing this?
- josteink 9y agoAt uni, that was what we were taught. On FreeBSD desktop-machines no less. But that was 15 years ago. I have no idea what they teach now.
- pswilson14 9y agoNot OP, but UC San Diego taught both Vim and Emacs when I was there 5 years ago
- CalChris 9y agoBerkeley 'taught' emacs in 61A when it used SICP and we programmed in Scheme, taught being in lower case here, italicized and in quotation marks. The idea that a university course would teach an editor is a bit much. I think there was a cheat sheet passed out by the TAs in section. My point is that this was at Berkeley where vi originated 40+ years ago.

- deong 9y agoWhen I was an undergrad, we were "taught" tools like Emacs and Vim by being dropped into a systems programming class where we were told to telnet into a university server to complete the assignments, and "oh, you'll need an editor. I think Emacs and vi are there. You'll figure it out."
- kccqzy 9y agoUCLA did, in its 35L class. You are required to do a series of text editing tasks and record keystrokes. I should note that the professor, Paul Eggert, is the maintainer of many GNU projects.
