IntelliJ Super Productivity in 45 Minutes By Heinz Kabutz

In 2003, Heinz was asked to fix bugs and add features to a bowl of spaghetti code. It was a dismal task. He had heard of IntelliJ IDEA's supernatural analyzing powers. At the end of his 30 day trial, he purchased his first IntelliJ license. Often after his talks, instead of asking about the topic he spoke about, curious onlookers wanted to know how he had performed his IntelliJ magic. Here are your answers.

We discovered after the talk that IntelliJ now does create records for multiple return values from a single method.

Also, there were so many people in the room that we blew up the QR Code for the Data Structures Course gift 😞 I'm going to keep the URL active for another few days - look at 18:00 - I cannot paste it in here.

[@praveenkumar3333]

Hi there. Is there a way to get the gift coupon for course? I went to the URL and it shows coupon expired 😥

[@heinzkabutz]

@@praveenkumar3333 sorry it is no longer available

[@anton-tkachenko]

can you please add the link to the slides? I wonder, why Devoxx never add it to video description :)

[@zoladkow]

ok, wow, no wonder the errors are hard to see - those colors seem all very muted for some reason. Maybe it's a global OS thing? On my Windows machine the default color scheme just pops - it contrasty and "juicy" 🙃

[@heinzkabutz]

It looks much better on my monitor. Not sure what happened there - perhaps an issue with the audio video of the event?

[@rydmerlin]

Doesn’t local history stay with the version so you lose it when you upgrade?

[@heinzkabutz]

It usually stays with you when you upgrade. However, if you "repair" IntelliJ, you can lose the local history.

[@DavidePavan]

Very interesting.

When I saw IntelliJ in 2003 Eclipse still looks better and much faster, since it is using SWT compare to JSwing used by the former.
