IntelliJ IDEA in Action

by Duane K. Fields, Stephen Saunders, and Eugene Belyaev

If you work with IntelliJ IDEA, you know its unique power and have already seen a jump in your productivity. But because IntelliJ IDEA is a rich system, you're probably using just a small subset of its features. You can overcome this syndrome and see your productivity take another leap forward—all you need is this book.

For new users, this book is a logically organized and clearly expressed introduction to a big subject. For veterans, it is also an invaluable guide to the expert techniques you'll need to know to draw a lot more power out of this incredible tool. You get a broad overview and deep understanding of the features in IntelliJ IDEA.

The book takes you through a sample project—from using the editor for entering and editing code, to building, running and debugging, and testing your application. The journey then continues into the far corners of the system. Along the way, the authors carefully explain IntelliJ IDEA's features and show you fun tricks and productivity-enhancing techniques that are the result of their combined years of experience.
