Hi Prof Pranavan, we can work on the existing codebase from SoC (if permitted) and make changes to course content here. This is the least costly, safest fallback option.
This course will be delivered in blended learning mode (i.e., a mix of online and F2F activities) this semester.

IntelliJ IDEA

Project Setup

Can setup a project in an IDE

Running IntelliJ IDEA for the First Time

A slightly more detailed explanation (from CodeLaunch) with some additional info at the end.


Code Navigation

Can navigate code effectively using IDE features

Some useful navigation shortcuts:

  1. Quickly locate a file by name.
  2. Go to the definition of a method from where it is used.
  3. Go back to the previous location.
  4. View the documentation of a method from where the method is being used, without navigating to the method itself.
  5. Find where a method/field is being used.

Debugging: Basic

Can step through a program using a debugger

This video (from LaunchCode) gives a pretty good explanation of how to use the IntelliJ IDEA debugger.

Refactoring

Can use automated refactoring features of the IDE

This video explains how to automate the 'Extract variable' refactoring using IntelliJ IDEA. Most other refactorings available work similarly. i.e. select the code to refactor → find the refactoring in the context menu or use the keyboard shortcut.

Here's another video explaining how to do some more useful refactorings in IntelliJ IDEA.
