This book is for developers who want to work smarter so they can focus their efforts on the details that will give them the advantage. This book is tailor-made for developers who want to move from NetBeans and Eclipse to experience the power and functionality of IntelliJ IDEA.
IntellJ IDEA in Action will help developers dig a little deeper into IDEA and embrace its streamlining features which allow for more time to be spent on project design rather than code management. Without some educational investment, however, IDEA can be just another editor. That then, is the purpose of this book. To not only get you up and running quickly, but to teach you how to use IDEA's powerful software development tools to their fullest advantage. Important product features, including the debugger, source code control, and the many code generation tools, are carefully explained and accompanied by tips and tricks that will leave even experienced IDEA users with "Eureka!" moments of informed programming. Coders just graduating from NOTEPAD and Java IDE veterans alike will profit from the powerful and timesaving expertise provided in this essential programmer's resource. IDEA is a next-generation IDE for Java, an Integrated Development Environment. As the term IDE implies, IDEA integrates or combines all of the tools needed to develop Java software into a single application and interface. In other words, IDEA is a tool that helps develop Java applications more quickly, easily, and intelligently. IDEA can help with every phase of a project, from design and development to testing and deployment. This book is based on the IntelliJ IDEA Java development environment software from JetBrains, version 5.0. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Master the concise and expressive power of a pragmatic multi-paradigm language for JVM, Android and beyond Key Featuresa- Language fundamentalsa- Object-oriented and functional programming with Kotlina- Kotlin standard librarya- Building domain-specific languagesa- Using Kotlin for Web developmenta- Kotlin for Android platforma- Coroutine-based concurrencyDescriptionThe purpose of this book is to guide a reader through the capabilities of the Kotlin language and give examples of using it for development of various applications be it desktop, mobile or Web. Although our primary focus is on the JVM and Android, the knowledge we're sharing here to various extents applies to other Kotlin-supported platforms such as JavaScript, native and even multi-platform applications.The book starts with an introduction to language and its ecosystem that will give you an understanding of the key ideas behind Kotlin design, introduce you to the Kotlin tooling and present you the basic language syntax and constructs. In the next chapters we'll get to know the multi-paradigm nature of Kotlin which allows you to create powerful abstractions by combining various aspects of functional and object-oriented programming. We'll talk about using common Kotlin APIs such as the standard library, reflection, and coroutine-based concurrency as well as the means for creating your own flexible APIs based on domain-specific languages. In the concluding chapters, we'll give examples of using Kotlin for more specialized tasks such as testing, building Android applications, Web development and creating microservices.What will you learnBy the end of the book, you'll obtain a thorough knowledge of all basic aspects of Kotlin programming. You'll be able to create a flexible and reusable code by taking advantage of object-oriented and functional features, use Kotlin standard library, compose your own domain-specific languages, write asynchronous code using Kotlin coroutines library as well. You'll also have a basic understanding of using Kotlin for writing test code, web applications and Android development. This knowledge will also give you a solid foundation for deeper learning of related development platforms, tools and frameworks.Who this book is forThe book is primarily aimed at developers familiar with Java and JVM and willing to get a firm understanding of Kotlin while having little to no experience in that language. Discussion of various language features will be accompanied, if deemed necessary, by comparisons with their Java's analogs which should simplify Java-to-Kotlin transition. Most of the material, however, is rather Java-agnostic and should be beneficial even without prior Java knowledge. In general, experience in object-oriented or functional paradigm is a plus, but not required.Table of Contents10. Annotations and Reflection11. Domain-Specific Languages12. Java Interoperability13.
