Course Overview
Instantly Become More Productive, Learn To Get The Most Out Of IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio
Have you used JetBrain's fantastic IntelliJ IDEA IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and been amazed at the power but wondered how to take advantage of the incredible range of functionality and speed enhancements?
Maybe you are an Android Studio developer and want to get the most out of the IDE which, in case you didn't know is IntelliJ IDEA under the hood (in other words, Android Studio IS IntelliJ IDEA, but with Android capability added by Google).
Others IDEA's such as Pycharm also use IntelliJ IDEA.
If you used any of these IDE's then I am sure you already know how great the product is. But what if you could learn all the shortcuts and features designed to really accelerate your productivity?
That's where this course comes in. It's designed to do just that - to teach you all the advanced features of the product.
While you can check the syllabus on this page for a full list of what the course includes, here is a summary of what you will learn from the course.
Speed up your coding workflow - Learn keyboard shortcuts and menu option navigation that will make your coding quicker and more effective.
Master the debugger and profiler - Understand how to debug and profile code using the profiler and debugger. Find and fix errors in your code quicker and easier.
Gain Android Development knowledge, techniques, and workflows. Understand how to use Android Studio to build and optimize your own Android Apps.
Editor customisation - Learn editor customization to change the ordering of menu items, look and feel of the editor, create your own custom UI elements, etc… This will give you the ability to MAXIMIZE the potential of these two powerful development tools.
IntelliJ IDEA's GUI Designer - Learn how to build custom GUI dialogs and windows within the editor. This course comes with two full examples of building custom GUI elements and an entire section teaching the process and the different Swing GUI components you can use to build and customize editor UI.
Work with Git and Github - Learn to directly interface with GitHub (or other version control systems) directly in the editor. No need for a command line or GUI source control program, you can commit, push, and pull code directly from within IntelliJ IDEA.
Master keyboard shortcuts and menu options - Gain a complete understanding to the tools at your disposal. An entire section of the course is dedicated to keyboard shortcuts and another section is dedicated to teaching all of the different main menu options in the 13 main menus found in IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio: File, Edit, View, Navigate, Code, Analyze, Refactor, Build, Run, Tools, VCS, Window and Help.
Master the terminal / command line - Become proficient using the terminal / command line. Learn about IntelliJ IDEA's built-in terminal, Git Terminal, and Android Studio command line tools ADB and Logcat.
Why you need this course.
If you want to become a more productive programmer and learn how to use the advanced features of IntelliJ and Android Studio then this course is perfect for you!
If you have no programming experience, or have never used Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA before then it's suggested to invest first in a course that uses these tools - This channel has a Java Masterclass and Android Kotlin course that would help. Then come back here and go through this course - or do both concurrently.

Course is very solid and helpful for using the IntelliJ program; instructor doesn't 'waste' his speech. Very to-the-point, though his delivery at times seems a little robotic (voice tone). I went through once quickly, at increased speed, intending to come later and pull back the speed, using the program and following along the points one at a time. A beneficial and useful course.

Some useful information. Far too much time spent on reading the menu items. Instructor was very clearly reading from a script. Not much opportunity for putting concepts into practice.

Just started, but I like it so far. At 50% found that it is very in depth on menu options so far. Would be very useful to someone who has never used an IDE before. I still found I am learning quite a bit

Half of the course is just reading menu items and UI elements, mostly without explanations what do they do. Voice is very monotone, sometimes I had a feeling that it's some text-to-speech engine, not a real human voice. Section about integrated Terminal was in fact about Windows Command Line (cmd). It wasn't even mentioned that on other platforms (Mac, Linux) it's different. Same problem with keyboard shortcuts, they were all for Windows, so sometimes it was hard to repeat some instructions on a Mac. Good side of the course is that it gives a lot of information about IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, which can be useful.
