JetBrains AppCode for Objective C
The best thing I can say about AppCode is that it is a pleasure to use. It does not throw up
unnecessary dialogs, it works logically, and the tools are easy to use and configure. I have not always
found this to be the case with Xcode, and if you spend a significant amount of your time on Objective C
development then I recommend grabbing the trial download to discover if it will speed your work.

JetBrains
WebStorm 2.0 and PHPStorm 2.0 First Look
I respect JetBrains, an IDE company which survives despite intense competition from free tools such as
Eclipse and NetBeans. It does so because developers like the products, especially the IntelliJ IDEA Java
IDE. The tools are focused on coding; there are few visual designers but lots of coding help, such as
code completion, refactoring, find usages, and fast navigation.

JetBrains
Offers a New IDE for Objective-C
I keep thinking of JetBrains as a Java tool maker because of the enduring power of its IntelliJ IDEA
code-centric Java IDE. But that's a mistake. The Prague-based company makes tools for software
developers, some of whom are Java jocks. That fact was brought home to me this week by Eugenia Dubova,
JetBrains' indefatigable marketing manager, who let me know that her company has added another dev tool
to its ever growing product catalog.

Scala
designer cites goals, directions for JVM alternative
InfoWorld: Are you familiar with the Kotlin language from JetBrains? I believe they looked at Scala and
wanted to go their own way. Do you have any perspective on Kotlin at all?
Odersky: Yes, I've looked at it. I think it has elements of both Scala and C# in a new language. It's
not out yet, so to comment further I think we should all wait when it's out and we have something
concrete to try.

Free Tool: JetBrains YouTrack
The latest version supports customizable workflows (using the free workflow editor) and better support for mobile devices, among other goodies. For developers who hate taking their hands off the keyboard, YouTrack supports both a command language and a search language that allow you to bypass the UI and just do what you want.

Meta
Programming System 2.0
JetBrains is slowly but surely becoming more than just a purveyor of programming tools and widgets. Its
recent foray into a new JVM language in the form of Kotlin is too young to see how it will fare in the
rough and ready world of neonate languages, but its Meta Programming System is old and successful enough
to have just been released in version 2.0 - and it is open source.
Perhaps the most important thing about MPS is that it brings language extension within the grasp of
the average programmer who isn't a language specialist.

JetBrains
releases Meta Programming System 2.0
JetBrains' Meta Programming System (MPS) offers a development environment that implements the
Language-Oriented Programming (LOP) paradigm. Instead of using a given programming language to solve a
problem, developers initially design a custom, domain-specific language that ideally allows them to
implement the required functionality in a better way

Bringing Java 7 Support to IntelliJ IDEA 10.5
Back in February, JetBrains announced that the major focus of their 10.5 release, would be Java 7 support. In this interview, we speak to IntelliJ IDEA senior software developer, Anna Kozlova, to find out more about implementing the new Java 7 language features in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.

JetBrains introduces the new JVM language Kotlin
It remains to be seen how many software developers will consider Kotlin as their language of choice. At least, the reactions of many developers prove that Kotlin has at least entered the race for the next new cool language.

JetBrains readies JVM-based language
"We've looked at all of the existing JVM languages, and none of them meet our needs. Scala has the right features, but its most obvious deficiency is very slow compilation," said Dmitry Jemerov, JetBrains development lead, on Friday. "Other languages don't meet some of our requirements in terms of the feature set. Moreover, the initial reception of Kotlin shows that the community trusts JetBrains and expects it to do a good job in terms of language implementation and tooling support."

JVM Language Summit 2011
Project Kotlin, presented by JetBrains developers, Andrey Breslav and Dmitry Jemerov, has definitely created a lot of buzz by now. <...> I do not have any strong opinion on the project yet - need to study it a bit and compare to other languages (read Scala) but one thing I quite sure about is that the IDE support should be top class.

TeamCity 6.5: Enhanced Integration with Git &
Mercurial, .NET Improvements
JetBrains has announced the release of TeamCity 6.5. The new release comes with a new look and has
improved integration with Git and Mercurial along with several improvements especially for .NET
developers. Moreover the free Professional Edition now allows unlimited users, although with a limit on
build definitions.
27.05.2011
JetBrains has announced the public availability of its TeamCity 6.5 continuous
integration and build management server.
"TeamCity Professional Edition is now rid of many previous limitations," said JetBrains in a press
statement. "Small and medium development teams can now run free TeamCity with an unlimited number of
registered users, support for LDAP, and flexible per-project roles and permissions."
The company's utopian vision of the future is for developer teams and startups around the globe to be
able adopt continuous integration practices at literally zero expense.

JetBrains upgrades continuous integration server
Continuous integration has been in the news lately because of the controversy over the forked Hudson
project, recently contributed to Eclipse by Oracle. But JetBrains believes it offers more functionality
with TeamCity than Hudson and its forked counterpart, Jenkins. "With Jenkins and Hudson, you've got
very limited functionality out of the box," and must download more plug-ins, said Max Feldman, TeamCity
marketing manager at JetBrains.

Early Access Program Starts for JetBrains' Free .NET Decompiler
JetBrains is introducing a free decompiler, and decompiling functionality in the upcoming ReSharper
6.0, as its competitor Red Gate Software attempts to move beyond a freemium business model and charge
$35 for the former community edition of .NET Reflector 7, which shipped in March.

Visual Basic and C# at the Crossroads
Ilya Ryzhenkov, .NET tools product manager for tools provider JetBrains Inc., is skeptical. "Compiler
as a service is a technology that will allow simple things to be done easily, but complex things will be
extremely hard or near impossible," he says. "No doubt with this release we'll see a lot of simple
one-two-feature extensions popping up, much the same way we saw with Visual Studio 2010 Extensions.
However, this usually leads to compatibility hell, an increase in the number of crashes, slow
performance of the IDE and bugs."

Boost Your Coding Productivity
Put simply, you're either a huge fan of JetBrains' ReSharper or of DevExpress's CodeRush. Personally,
I don't care which one you use. But if you're a professional developer and don't use one of these
solutions, then you're cutting yourself insanely short?and spending way too much time doing stuff you
don't have to do.
Personally, I'm a big fan of ReSharper. And while I originally grabbed it for its refactoring support,
unit testing augmentations, and its huge amount of other additional UI helps, tweaks, and productivity
boosts, one of the things I love the most about ReSharper is its support for templates that make it so
much easier for me to quickly code repetitive tasks. In fact, I use ReSharper's templating functionality
all the time when creating new repositories and when creating individual methods within those
repositories?because ReSharper's support for "surround-with" templates gives me the ability to easily
tackle some custom considerations around caching that I leverage pretty heavily in many repository
methods.

Jetbrains announced
appCode (CIDR) EAP - an Objective-C IDE for Mac and iOS development
We at JetBrains admire what Apple has done to desktop apps and more generally to a consumer targeted
software. They're setting new interaction design quality standards. But this is not the case when it
comes to developers software, in our opinion. So we see a great opportunity for JetBrains to bring its
development tools expertise to this emerging market of developers, who know how a great software should
look, who care about their productivity and code quality.

Guardian.co.uk: Switching from
Java to Scala
InfoQ: What IDEs do you use for development? What is Scala IDE support like?
Web Platform Development Team Lead Graham Tackley, Guardian: We use Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA 10, some of
us use the community edition and some use the ultimate edition. The Scala plugin is pretty good but not
perfect. Code completion, find usages, and similar navigation nearly always works just fine. It's not as
good as Java at red highlighting code that isn't valid, and we had some problems with it finding
ScalaTest test methods, but other than that we were in our familiar environment working as we always
had, just in a much more powerful language.
