What is Intellij?

I am on the beginner Java track. Just finished the Java Arrays course. This lesson starts with something called an IntelliJ? I don't know what this IntelliJ is nor have been taught a lesson that covers this program.

Is there a lesson that covers IntelliJ? how to install, etc.. Thank you.

When moving from one course to another, it would have been nice when starting this video you were given instructions to do this download.

Hello Jake,

Intellij is a code editor made for Java and is very popular. It is basically the same thing as the virtual workspace but much more powerful.
