Hyperskill Integration
The first member of JetBrains Academy’s learning experience is Hyperskill, a project-based learning platform.
Project-based learning
Go beyond lectures — learn by developing. Challenge yourself to integrate all that you’ve learned into applications. Experience actual development on top of essential computer science knowledge.
Knowledge Map
Explore new topics and projects that become available to you as you learn. Use the Knowledge Map to track your progress and to navigate between topics.
JetBrains integration
Master professional tools to ease your transition into a future developer. Enjoy full integration with the JetBrains IDEs while working on your projects.
Introduction to Java
Please welcome a series of courses on the main Java concepts: Introduction, Statements and Arrays, Collections, and Classes. They include both the theory and coding practice with inline IDE tips and tricks.
Please note that the courses are currently in Beta. Stay tuned for upcoming improvements and share your feedback in our tracker or twitter.
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.
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.
