Elevator Pitch
The power users guide to IntelliJ IDEA
Description
Modern IDEs are quite complex. Even IDE developers say that they sometimes discover new features only while reading the IDE’s code. And does this sound familiar: your colleague is trying to find a class in the project tree, and he doesn’t remember the name of the class, and so you are trying hard to scream: “Just press Ctrl+Shift+E!!!“ Generally, developers just use IDE and so often do not utilize the power of automated refactorings, shortcuts, fast navigation, and other awesome features that IDEs provide. The audience will learn a lot of tips and tricks, and a lot of different shortcuts will be also covered.
Notes
This is an interactive session I have presented at many conferences and meetups. With an interactive twist, it allows to change the talk direction depending on the audience - we can spend more time on navigation, but we can go more into typing new code from scratch or refactoring, etc.
