JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Woohoo! For the third year in a row, the IntelliJ IDEA team will participate in the Developer Sandbox at Google I/O 2013. We are thrilled to receive an invitation from the Google Android team to show off our Android support inside the IDE.

We’ve said it before and we will say it again: “This is the kind of event where if you’ve been there once, you don’t want to miss the next one!”

We will have an awesome team on location including JetBrains CTO, Dmitry Jemerov, ready to listen, chat, answer your questions and in general have a great time at the event.

If you are attending the conference, stop by our booth in the Android section. We’ll be glad to chat and to tell you what’s coming.

Aside from Android, we are happy to share with you that the WebStorm team was also invited to the Developer Sandbox by the Google Chrome team for our great integration with Chrome DevTools. The guys will be showing Live Edit and other cool features of WebStorm 6.

While the WebStorm team will be at a different booth than IntelliJ IDEA, we encourage you to stop by and say hello to them too.

Great news for those who are eager to learn more about developing IntelliJ IDEA plugins. In January you have a chance to participate in the second free webinar on developing a plugin from scratch.

The second part will cover the following topics:

• Test our example plugin using our testing framework
• Manage dependencies using our project model APIs
• Show how to write inspections (code analysis), intentions (quick fixes), and saving options in the settings.

Join us Tuesday, January 22, 19:00-20:00 CET (Central European Time). Space is limited, please register now. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.

For those who have missed the first part, the recording is available here.

About Dmitry Jemerov
Since joining JetBrains in 2003, Dmitry Jemerov has worn a lot of hats in the company. These days, in his role as the CTO, he’s focusing on the server-side tools strategy of JetBrains. He also leads the development of PyCharm, an IDE for Python and Django. Writing plugin development documentation was Dmitry’s first task when he joined the IntelliJ IDEA team back in 2005, and he’s put a lot of effort into supporting plugin developers and improving the plugin infrastructure since that time.

Develop with Pleasure!

As you remember last week, on November 29 we organized a webinar «Live Coding a Plugin From Scratch» with Dmitry Jemerov, the CTO of JetBrains. In this webinar Dmitry was building an IntelliJ IDEA plugin and discussing the ins and outs of the plugin development.

You can grab the demo code from the GitHub repository.

Please enjoy the recording!
