Description

Modern integrated development environments or IDEs in short allows us to perform miracles. Why? Because we live in the twenty first century and modern computers are so powerful that modern IDEs become indispensable assistants which can save us thousands of hours. A decade ago, no one could imagine how much powerful IDEs will become in the future. However, nowadays, developers are armed by super powers such as deep static analysis, automatically performed refactorings, code fixes, super simple navigation and many other things.

This course covers:

Navigate through the code base: how to select code, how to find code, camel humps in IntelliSense, navigating through the tabs
Edit and format the code base: deleting and removing code, formatting, commenting and applying refactorings
Run and debug your code: working with breakpoints, new features in Rider
Code snippets: existing code snippets and creating custom code snippets
Refactorings: a great number of refactorings that can be applied to enhance the code base
etc.

I need to warn you that Rider is a paid IDE but despite of this fact, many professional developers use it on an everyday basis.

Rider provides tons of refactorings, analytical features, fixes and a ton of other features. So, you'll see the following:

Installing Rider
Rider Settings
Creating Code with Rider
Exploring Code with Rider
Refactoring with Rider
Unit Testing with Rider

Enroll and start learning how to double your coding speed in Rider!
