Maybe you are an Android Studio developer and want to get the most out of the IDE which, in case you didn't know is IntelliJ IDEA under the hood (in other words, Android Studio IS IntelliJ IDEA, but with Android capability added by Google).
Others IDEA's such as Pycharm also use IntelliJ IDEA.
If you used any of these IDE's then I am sure you already know how great the product is. But what if you could learn all the shortcuts and features designed to really accelerate your productivity?
