I have little control on which bookstore want to sell the print version of the book, and at what price. Using only keystrokes for common editing operations is more efficient than mouse or menu-driven commands, because your hands never leave the keyboard. That's why I love writing for my blog, The Valuable Dev. I've worked from extra small to extra big companies, mentoring and leading developer teams. I've been coding as a hobby for 20 years, professionally for 10 years. I was already familiar with many of the topics, but still learned an enormous amount, and definitely fine-tuned my daily workflow. Never before have I chuckled aloud while reading through a technical book! I highly recommend this for everyone beginner and beyond.
Matthieu presents very complex and intricate concepts and tools in simple, easy-to-understand, and entertaining ways! The Mouseless Dev is a delightful adventure into all the tools and topics that make you a better developer. I have read many books since I started my career at the end of the 80's as a Unix SysAdmin, and your book rates very high!
I highly recommend this book to every software developer get it, read it and get sh*t done by being a lot more productive. The book is also a great introduction to Vim and Tmux, which I have been using for years, but Matthieu still managed to teach me a few things about it.
I have now been running Arch and i3 exclusively and I have never been as productive behind my keyboard. Let me tell you that it does exactly what it says on the cover, it will change the way you work for the better. Then I saw a post on Reddit by Matthieu asking people to please check out his new book, a book about exactly what I have been wanting, a book about i3 and other mouseless tools! My problem was that I had no idea where to start and like many people, I lacked the time to search for good tutorials. Thank you for sharing!įor years, I have been working back and forth on macOS and Gnome based Linux (mostly Ubuntu), but I always have been curious about using a window manager like i3. I can imagine how much fun you had writing it. Reading your book has been my guilty pleasure for the past month. The print version is available from many distributors like Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
