Remember your first day driving without your instructor? Were you able to think about the optimal path through the city or were you focused on shifting gears and handling all the stimulus you were facing? The same happens when driving IntelliJ. It’s just that you didn’t know that you’re actually driving a Bugatti!

The purpose of this presentation is to showcase some of the tricks used by the fastest Java developers on the planet. But let’s make it clear: the goal is not to finish the work faster. No. But to be able to explore a design idea or some refactoring without investing precious time and/or emotional involvement. I want to help you to become faster to feel less guilty when you throw away some experiment, so you can then find the most simple design to solve your problem.

Tricks you’ll see:

• Over-dot expansion

• Live Templates: default and custom

• Postfix Expressions

• TAB completion

• Importing Statics and Type-aware Completion

• Generating Boilerplate by completion

• Dozens of Quickfixes (Alt-Enter)

• Multi-cursor

• Surround with / Refactor this

• Complete Statement

++ more
