We're big fans of Unix, plain text, and terminal-based workflows. As part of
our plain text toolset, many of us make heavy use of [tmux][], the terminal
multiplexer. tmux lets you split your window, arrange and communicate between
process like Vim and the Rails console, and upgrade your terminal into an
ideal plain text development environment.

Today we're happy to announce the release of our new [tmux Course][] on Upcase
based on years of using tmux individually and via pair programming here at
thoughtbot. The course is presented as a series of screencasts, each with
detailed notes and sample configuration code to get you up and running
quickly.

The videos cover a range of topics from introductory to advanced. They provide
an overview of tmux objects and navigation, Vim integration, custom workflows,
and more. After completing the course you'll be able to take advantage of all
tmux has to offer and use it to design the ideal workflow to suit your
preferences while still making use of the many great text based utilities you
already know and love.

Along with the release of the course we've also added a [tmux category][] to
the Upcase forum to keep the conversation going.

tmux transforms your terminal into the ultimate development environment to
make your work more efficient and fun. Whether you're new to tmux or have
been using it for years, the [tmux Course][] has content to help you master
this wonderful tool, so head on over to Upcase and get started.
