Do you want to learn Java, Kotlin, or Scala?
Are you ready to create educational courses?

You can do both right in the IDE! Just install IntelliJ IDEA, switch to the Learn tab, click Enable Access, and enjoy learning or teaching programming

It’s up to you to decide how to learn! Follow a step-by-step course, create an application, or participate in a coding contest. Whatever you choose, you’ll learn programming while gaining hands-on experience with the IDE, which is a must for a career as a developer.

Step-by-step courses

Select courses based on your proficiency level and study the basics of Java, Kotlin, or Scala, or improve your skills in specific subjects like Spring Boot and Android.

Hands-on experience

Learning in the IDE means you won't just read about programming – you'll get to work with code and tinker with technologies in real-world contexts.

Instant feedback

Think you've finished an exercise? Click the Check button and receive instant feedback on your submission, with hints and helpful error messages about any mistakes.

Pair programming

With the Code With Me bundle, you can learn with your teammates wherever they may be located. Work together to crack specific parts of the code that are giving you problems.

Real applications

Do you want to create your own blockchain, file server, or maybe a coffee machine simulator? With JetBrains Academy integration, you can study programming by building interactive projects.

Coding contests

If you are an experienced learner, challenge yourself with a Codeforces contest. IntelliJ IDEA's features can save you valuable time and give you a leg up on the competition.

Help your students truly enjoy programming with interactive courses you create. IntelliJ IDEA’s educational functionality helps you motivate your students throughout their studies and streamlines the educational process for you.

Start a course

Choose the programming language you want your course to be about, create a description, and add as many lessons as you want.

Test skills

Use theoretical explanations, multiple choice questions, coding exercises, or other tasks to test what your students have learned.

Create placeholders

Add placeholders, such as “type here”, and create dependencies between them so learners can reuse their code between tasks.

Automate reviews

Speed up the process of checking your students’ assignments by writing tests.

Offer feedback

Provide instant feedback to your students with helpful error messages.

Publish your course

Share your course on JetBrains Marketplace or privately with others.
