IntelliJ Wizardry with Heinz Kabutz Course
For Java and Android. Learn IntelliJ's programmer-friendly tools to code faster, easier, and smarter
Using Java 21
Duration of 1/2 Day
In 2003, Heinz was asked to fix bugs and add features to a bowl of spaghetti code. It was a dismal task. He had heard of IntelliJ IDEA's supernatural analyzing powers. At the end of his 30 day trial, he purchased his first IntelliJ license. Often after his talks, instead of asking about the topic he spoke about, curious onlookers wanted to know how he had performed his IntelliJ magic. Here are your answers.
In this 4 hour course, we explore the most important features of IntelliJ IDEA. By the end, you will be more productive and comfortable programming with this wonderful tool.
Here are some of the many things we will cover during this workshop:
- The five top shortcuts in IntelliJ that will make you code faster and with fewer mistakes
- How to become a more productive coder
- Writing your own live templates
- Get weaned off the mouse
