Mastering 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.
