In case you missed it, the second edition of The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction from No Starch Press is now available. This edition, based on the fifth Internet edition of TLCL contains many improvements and modernizations compared to the first edition.
If you're looking for a more "tangible" version of TLCL, pick up a copy of The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction, 2nd Edition wherever fine books are sold.

(Not so new) Adventure: Vim, with Vigor
A few months ago I wrote an adventure but I forgot to announce it. In it, we advance our skill with the vim text editor from the beginner level to an intermediate level. This adventure is one of my favorites so far. I learned a lot while writing it.
Vim is a very capable and configurable program. For example, it's easy to configure vim to behave differently according to the type of file it is editing and in this adventure we will configure vim to be optimized for writing shell scripts and plain text documentation files making vim a useful partner when working on the command line. We also introduce a number of powerful editing tricks that make using vim a lot more fun.
You can find the Vim, with Vigor adventure here.
