I have his notes printed as a spiral-bound book sitting on my desk at work. This course is fantastic and the notes are great as reference material, or even just as something fun to read.
bechap··on Turning vim into an IDE through vim plugins
Having seen this article when I first started using vim seriously, I'd recommend fzf.vim in place of ctrl-p and ALE in place of Syntastic. The former I find is much more performant, and the latter takes advantage of Vim8 / neovim's asynchronous features. Plus, fzf.vim comes with Ag, which effectively replaces Ack.vim (albeit, with a little bit of tweaking).
