Hello, and welcome back.
0:04
I'm Craig and I'm a developer.
0:06
If you haven't taken the courses
listed in the prerequisite,
0:09
I highly suggest that you do so.
0:11
We're gonna be building on the concepts
that we introduced, as well as revisiting
0:13
and proving some of the projects that we
built together in those previous courses.
0:16
This time around we're going to be
doing something a little different.
0:21
Instead of using Workspaces,
we're gonna move
0:24
development onto our local machines and
learn all about what that entails.
0:26
We've used some of the Java
development programs already, but
0:31
we will now take time to
explore them in more depth.
0:34
Getting your environment up and
running might be a little frustrating.
0:38
Which is one of the reasons I
waited until now to introduce it.
0:41
I wanted to get your feet wet with
the language, and for you to have
0:45
an appreciate of its power, before
setting you off on installation tasks.
0:47
But now we're investing in
a language we like it and
0:52
we are ready to accept the challenge.
0:55
I got an email from a student where she
told me she was falling in love with Java.
0:58
Now this installation process may
require a little bit of that love, but
1:02
I promise you it's well worth it.
1:06
If you already loved the language before,
1:08
wait until you see the power of an IDE,
or Integrated Development Environment.
1:10
For this course, we'll specifically be
exploring the IntelliJ IDEA editor.
1:15
Which is the same editor that is
bundled for Android development.
1:20
I will show off some tricks that can
increase your productivity ten fold.
1:23
IntelliJ also has a tool that will let
you know when you've made mistakes
1:28
in real time.
1:31
Chances are you're gonna
get pretty mad at me for
1:33
not showing this earlier
in our adventures.
1:35
You will definitely appreciate
what it does for you now though.
1:37
So let's get started.
