Course Description

I invite you to join my IntelliJ IDEA course, which will not only cover many keyboard shortcuts but also other productivity boosters like strategies for debugging and refactoring - all condensed into a single well structured course.

This course is intended for all software engineers and developers who would like to unlock the full potential of their IDE.
I am using the Ultimate edition of IntelliJ in this course- if you do not have a license then you can either use the 30 day trial version of intelliJ or simply skip the (few) parts which are not applicable to the community edition.

This is a hands-on course - meaning lectures are mostly screencasts with additional explanations. Sample code is provided as a downloadable zip archive so that you can code along with me - this will help you a lot to actually memorize the shortcuts and contents of the course.
The lectures are kept short, so that you can watch them anytime (e.g. during your coffee breaks) and so that you can skip the parts that you already know and re-watch what you forgot.

The course will be updated from time to time when new IDE releases introduce meaningful changes or features.

Feel free to take a look at the free preview videos before enrolling.

Dieser Kurs eignet sich gut für den Einstieg in Intellij, Die Shortcuts wurden zu oft erwähnt. Diese erlernt man eh automatisch, wenn man mit dem Produkt arbeitet.

By Paolo Guagliumi on 11/24/2025

Un buon corso, alcune sezioni molto specifiche il che può essere un pregio ma anche un difetto perchè va analizzare scorciatorie, shortcut, metodologie molto specifiche e non generali che difficilmente possono poi servire nell'attività quotidiana. Comunque certamente è esaustivo verso l'analisi e la spiegazione dell'editor IntelliJ Idea.

Well structured, wide and systemaised content, compact and timesaving introduction.

By Juan Carlos Rodriguez Quevedo on 9/9/2022

The content of the course is good, I would have liked to see the description that intellij ultimate had to be installed. Most of the tools used are from the ultimate and it doesn't indicate it and I wasted time realizing that my version didn't have them.

By Peter Piontek on 9/6/2022

The instructions are clear and easy to understand. I learned a lot from every lecture!

Amazing course to become more productive with IntelliJ. I learned a lot about the IDE, that will probably help me getting my job quicker done in the future.

By Christian Sperr on 4/29/2022

Despite using IntelliJ Idea for longer now, I got a lot of new tips and inspirations to make work both more fun and more productive. I learned a lot and there is lots to try on a daily basis. Thank You

This course shows how much more efficient you can be by using keyboard shortcuts. IntelliJ IDEA has one for everything! Absolutely worth taking that course. Very nice and clear explanations, great lessons for any IDEA user :)
