JetBrains Academy
Learn programming by creating working applications with JetBrains Academy, a project-based learning platform.
Learn by doing
Go beyond lectures — learn by developing. Choose a project and work through a curriculum that contains all the concepts necessary to build it. Challenge yourself to integrate everything that you’ve learned into your applications.
See how it's all related
Explore new topics and projects that become available to you as you improve. Navigate the Knowledge Map, which displays your progress, the full scope of available topics, and the connections between them.
Learn from inside your IDE
Master professional tools and become an accomplished developer. Enjoy the platform’s full integration with JetBrains IDEs while working on your projects.
Introduction to Python
Interested in learning programming with a general-purpose language? The Introduction to Python course is specially designed for programmers with little or no previous coding experience.
To take the course, go to Learn ⟶ Browse Courses and choose Introduction to Python from the list.
Apache Beam Katas
Beam Katas is a course that provides a series of structured hands-on lessons to get started with Apache Beam. Solve exercises of gradually increasing complexity and get experience with all the Apache Beam fundamentals such as core transforms, common transforms, and simple use cases (word count), with more katas on the way.
To begin the course, go to Learn ⟶ Browse Courses. Search for Beam Katas, and once the course is loaded into the IDE, you’re good to go.
Algorithmic Toolbox
Algorithmic Toolbox by Coursera is a part of the Data Structures and Algorithms specialization. The course covers basic algorithmic techniques and ideas for computational problems arising frequently in practical applications: sorting and searching, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, and dynamic programming.
Go to Learn ⟶ Start Coursera Assignment and select Algorithmic Toolbox.
CheckiO Integration
CheckiO is a programming learning platform and a gamified website that teaches Python through solving code challenges and competing for the most elegant and creative solutions.
You can now perform CheckiO missions right inside PyCharm Edu and have the IDE assist you every step of the way.
To take the course, go to Learn ⟶ Browse Courses and choose Py CheckiO from the list. Your progress is synchronized and the IDE automatically updates the list of missions based on it.
Integration with Stepik
Progress synchronization
If you like learning the theory lessons on Stepik but prefer to do the coding exercises in the IDE – you don't need to worry about losing your course progress. All your progress is synchronized between the platforms.
Importing more courses
You can import any course from Stepik that has programming tasks, which you can solve right inside the IDE. You can easily switch back-and-forth with Stepik any time you want.
