This week I started the Coursera course Functional Programming Principles in Scala with Martin Odersky as instructor.

One of my first step was to have JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA working with the Scala programming language so that I can work on the course assignments using my preferred IDE.

This post is a transcript of an internal post I did on Innoveo Solutions internal blog. Thanks to Innoveo to let me share this here!

Skye Editor is our metal model editor which is written in C# 4, WPF uses Model-View-ViewModel design pattern and MVVM Light.

Today I faced a nasty bug, a null pointer exception in a property databound to our WPF application. This had some nasty side effects, and for sure this part of the code didn’t had any unit test, too bad! For sure now it has.

The line of code was really simple

Today I was listening and some time watching (it helps to have two monitors :) the following video that I got from Jetbrains blog post, Vaclav Pech Talking at JAX 2010

I learned several tips and I think this video shows why I like more and more IntelliJ.

Day after day I find little gems in IntelliJ 9 that just make me more productive and give me more time to deal with the real interesting things.

Today for example I had to change a web.xml file which I was said that I should take care not to commit because if this file would go to our customer than we would have a problem.

Today at Innoveo Solutions  I work on CSS and XHTML for our Skye® product.

I am using JetBrains  IntelliJ 9 since a couple of weeks now and I enjoy it very much.
