vim comes with a nice built-in interactive tutorial. You can access this tutorial by just running:
$ vimtutor It is very easy to use because it creates working cases for basic commands. Is there a more advanced tutorial? Has any one thought to build one to help uses take their VIM skills to the next level? Most tutorial and cheat-sheet sites out there for vim only show commands but not necessarily specific uses and examples.
Is there an advanced tutorial out there? Is this the type of project that could be an open source document that everyone can add examples to? Like a Vim Interactive Wiki or similar to the RegEx sites that have the built in regex testers.

vimtutor is a very basic, clean, and cool application that teaches you how to use Vim. It's the best place to get started using vim . Spending about 1 hour with vimtutor , you can pretty much get all major features of vim .
On windows you can open the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim81\tutor\tutor (from superuser.com/questions/270938/how-to-run-vimtutor-on-windows/… )
It's not exactly a tutorial, but I've been impressed with @nelstrom's growing collection of screencasts at vimcasts.org:
http://vimcasts.org/episodes/archive
Each short video covers a single topic (or a small set of closely-related topics), and the ones I've watched have been informative and enjoyable. The author says that "the aim is to provide something in each episode that you can take away and use," and I'd say he's succeeding.
