Desire to learn Intellij IDE and Java
Description
Intellij is the
industry standard among all Java developers. Any beginner or expert user of the
Java programming language looking to improve their productivity via the best
IDEs for Java can greatly benefit from the Intellij Productivity and
Debugging Techniques Course. Intellij provides smart code completion,
code inspections, on-the-fly error highlighting and quick-fixes, along with
automated code refactoring and rich live templates. This course will ensure
that you master each and every of those capabilities.
IntelliJ the most
powerful and popular Integrated Development Environments (IDE) for Java. It is
developed and maintained by JetBrains and available as
community and ultimate edition. This feature rich IDE enables rapid development
and helps in improving code quality.
What is IDE and its
benefits?
IDE stands for
Integrated Development Environment. It is a combination of multiple tools,
which make software development process easier, robust and less error-prone. It
has following benefits over plain text editor −
- Integration with useful tools like compiler, debugger,
version control system, build tools, various frameworks, application
profilers and so on.
- Supports code navigation, code completion, code
refactoring and code generation features which boosts development process.
- Supports unit testing, integration testing and code
coverage via plug-ins.
- Provides rich set of plug-ins to enhance IDE functionality
further.
Features of IntelliJ
IntelliJ IDEA has some
top productive Java code completion features. Its predictive algorithm can
accurately assume what a coder is attempting to type, and completes it for him,
even if he doesn’t know the exact name of a particular class, member or any
other resource.
Deep Insight
IntelliJ IDEA really
understands and has a deep insight into your code, as well as
the context of the coder, which makes it so unique among other Java IDEs.
- Smart code completion −
It supports context based code completion. It gives a list of the most
relevant symbols applicable in the current context.
- Chain code completion −
It is an advanced code completion feature which lists applicable symbols
accessible via methods or getters in the current context.
- Static member's completion − It allows you to use static methods or
constants and automatically adds the required import statements to avoid
compilation error.
- Detecting duplicates −
It finds the duplicate code fragments on the fly and gives
notification/suggestion about it to user.
- Inspections and quick-fixes − Whenever IntelliJ detects that you're about to
make a mistake, a little light bulb notification pops up on same line.
Clicking it shows the suggestion list.
Developer Ergonomics
IntelliJ IDEA is
designed around the coding principle that developers should be allowed to write
codes with as less distraction as possible. That is why in this case, the
editor is the only thing visible on the screen, with dedicated shortcuts for
all other coding-unrelated functions.
- Editor-centric environment − Quick pop-ups help in checking additional
information without leaving the current context.
- Shortcuts for everything − IntelliJ IDEA has keyboard shortcuts for nearly
everything, including rapid selection and switching between tool windows
and many more.
- Inline debugger −
Inline debugger allows you to debug application in IDE itself. It makes
the development and debugging process seamless.
Built-in Developer
Tools
To help the developers
organize their workflow, IntelliJ IDEA offers them an amazing toolset, which
comprises of a decompiler, Docker support, bytecode viewer, FTP and many other
tools −
- Version control −
IntelliJ supports most of the popular version control system like Git,
Subversion, Mercurial, CVS, Perforce, and TFS.
- Build tools −
IntelliJ supports Java and other build tools like Maven, Gradle, Ant,
Gant, SBT, NPM, Webpack, Grunt, and Gulp.
- Test runner and code coverage − IntelliJ IDEA lets you perform unit testing
with ease. The IDE includes test runners and coverage tools for major test
frameworks, including JUnit, TestNG, Spock, Cucumber, ScalaTest, spec2,
and Karma.
- Decompiler −
IntelliJ comes with a built-in decompiler for Java classes. When you want
to take a look inside a library that you do not have the source code for,
you can do it without using any third-party plug-ins.
- Terminal −
IntelliJ provides built-in terminal. Depending on your platform, you can
work with the command line prompt, like PowerShell or Bash.
- Database tools −
IntelliJ provides database tools, which allow you to connect to live databases;
run queries; browse and update data; and even manage your schemas in a
visual interface from IDE itself.
- Application server −
IntelliJ supports major application servers: Tomcat, JBoss, WebSphere,
WebLogic, Glassfish, and many others. You can deploy your artifacts onto
application servers and debug the deployed applications in IDE itself.
- Docker support −
Via a separate plug-in, IntelliJ provides a dedicated tool window that
lets you connect to locally running Docker machines.
The course covers the
following sections:
- Section 1-3: Here
you will learn the Java basics and how to install Java and Intellij in
your device. Those sections are a free introduction to the Core Java
concepts such as Java data types, methods, classes, declarations
and more.
- Section 4: In
this section you will explore at the files that make up an IntelliJ
project. As an advanced IDE, Intellij will generate default files that
hold configuration, state and preferences. This section will cover some of
the files that IntelliJ generates as part of the project.
- Section 5: You
will learn advanced code navigation and generation by exploring the
search-everywhere Intellij search to find actions, classes and more. You
will be able to generate code on autopilot to optimize your coding speed.
- Section 6: This
is the code inspection section, where you will learn how to find errors in
your code and find fixes proposed by Intellij. You will master solving
errors, warnings and typos.
- Section 7: Here
you will learn automatic code refactoring with Intellij. Refactoring is
basically rewriting and improving source code and make them easily
readable — without changing its behavior. Organized, neat, and easily
readable codes are preferable over disorganized, cluttered, and convoluted
codes it makes codes a lot easier to maintain and extend. In this section,
you will about and how IntelliJ makes refactoring easy.
- Section 8: In
this section you will learn how to use Intellij Live Templates. The live
templates are used to insert common constructs into your code,
such as loops, conditions, various declarations, or print statements.
- Section 9: You
will learn how to use the IntelliJ IDEA debugger for Java code. Depending
on the installed/enabled plugins, you can also debug code written in other
languages.During a debugging session, you launch your program
with the debugger attached to it. The purpose of the debugger is to
interfere with the program execution and provide you with the information
on what’s happening under the hood. This facilitates the process of detecting
and fixing bugs in your program.
- Section 10: IntelliJ
supports various version control systems like Git, Subversion, Mercurial,
CVS, GitHub and TFS. You can perform version control related action from
the IDE itself. In this section, you will learn Git and GitHub integration
with Intellij.
- Section 11: This
section will cover all types of testing in Java and how to optimize them
with the Intellij IDE. You will use the JUnit framework to create a
complete test case suit with unit tests.
- Section 12: You
will learn how to build UI applications by integrating JavaFX with
Intellij. You will use Scene Builder to automatically generate Maven code
and build your application graphically.
