JetBrains Academy: апрельский дайджест курсов и исследований
Источник: https://blog.jetbrains.com/education/2026/05/01/jetbrains-academy-april-2026/
Краткое содержание
Ежемесячный educational‑дайджест JetBrains за апрель 2026 года. Главные направления — собственные курсы по AI‑агентам в IDE, новые сертификации и совместные программы с другими платформами.
Среди обновлений Learning highlights: «Build Your First 3D Game With AI» — короткий курс на Coursera, в котором браузерная 3D‑игра собирается в WebStorm с помощью AI‑агента; «Spec‑Driven Development With Coding Agents» — короткий курс DeepLearning.AI совместно с JetBrains о переходе от «vibe coding» к работе по спецификациям с итерационными workflow и agent‑skills; «Kotlin Professional Certificate» от JetBrains и LinkedIn Learning — четырёхкурсовая программа от Kotlin essentials до мультиплатформы с Ktor и Compose; «100‑Day Python Challenge in Your IDE» — лагерь Angela Yu в формате in‑IDE‑курса JetBrains Academy с 100 проектами; «Full‑Stack JavaScript: Build a Real‑Time Chat App» — Node.js + Express + React.
В разделе Watch and learn — три видео: Spec‑driven Development in Practice от Пола Эверитта (FastAPI + Claude Code + Astral toolchain), Build an AI Agent With PyCharm (учебный агент с MCP и Ollama), Build Your First TensorFlow Model in Python (классика — обучение модели на fashion image dataset).
Research spotlight — отчёт «Which AI Coding Tools Do Developers Actually Use at Work?» по опросу более 10 000 разработчиков, фиксирующий смещение от универсальных chat‑ассистентов к специализированным инструментам, встроенным в среду разработки.
Иллюстративный пример работы с MCP‑инструментом из PyCharm‑агента (как в курсе «Build an AI Agent With PyCharm»):
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP("language-tutor")
@mcp.tool()
def translate(word: str, target: str) -> str:
"""Translate a single word into the target language."""
return llm.complete(f"Translate '{word}' to {target}, single word only.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run()
Значимость
Дайджест важен как фиксация того, как JetBrains позиционирует свою educational‑экосистему в 2026 году: основной акцент сместился на «agentic coding с человеком в петле», spec‑driven development и сертификации, привязанные к LinkedIn (то есть к рынку труда). Параллельная линия — упор на TensorFlow и MCP как два взаимодополняющих контекста для работы с ML и AI‑агентами в IDE. Содержательно компания делает ставку на нишу разработчиков, которые предпочитают полноценный IDE‑контекст вместо чисто чатовых ассистентов — это согласуется с тезисом её собственного исследования.

JetBrains Academy – April Digest Source: https://blog.jetbrains.com/education/2026/05/01/jetbrains-academy-april-2026/
Hey!
April brought many good reasons to open your IDE.
Learn about a new DeepLearning.AI collab on spec-driven development, a beginner-friendly full-stack chat app course, a Kotlin certificate you can add to your LinkedIn profile, and fresh research on which AI coding tools developers actually use at work.
Learning highlights Build Your First 3D Game With AI Take our short course and build a 3D browser game in WebStorm using an AI coding agent. Join Tode the Frog as he battles waves of enemies to defend his home! You can finish it with Coursera’s seven-day free trial. Leave a review, send the screenshot to education@jetbrains.com, and get one free month of JetBrains AI Pro (10 AI Credits).
Start for free Spec-Driven Development With Coding Agents Move beyond vibe coding! This short course by DeepLearning.AI, created in partnership with JetBrains, shows how to use clear specs, iterative workflows, and agent skills to build software with more control.
Enroll for free Kotlin Professional Certificate This new certification path by JetBrains and LinkedIn Learning takes you from Kotlin essentials to multiplatform development with Ktor and Compose. Finish all four courses, pass the final exam, and add the certificate straight to your LinkedIn profile.
Start learning 100-Day Python Challenge in Your IDE Angela Yu’s bestselling Python bootcamp is now available as an in-IDE course on JetBrains Academy. One hundred days, one hundred projects, including web scraping, APIs, GUIs, data science, and more. It’s free, self-paced, and designed to fit around your life.
Take the course Full-Stack JavaScript: Build a Real-Time Chat App Build a real-time chat app from scratch and see how modern web apps come together. You’ll start with a backend in Node.js and Express, then add a React frontend, and finish with a project that’s strong enough for your portfolio.
Start building
Watch and learn Spec-driven Development in Practice / Paul Everitt Agentic coding is fast, but can you still call the code yours? Paul Everitt builds a FastAPI app with Claude Code, the Astral toolchain, and spec-driven workflows while keeping a human in the loop from planning to validation.
Watch now Build an AI Agent With PyCharm Curious about AI agents, but not sure where to start? This video shows how to build a language-learning agent in PyCharm, from core agent logic to tool use with MCP and local models via Ollama.
Watch now Build Your First TensorFlow Model in Python Looking to try ML in your Python projects? TensorFlow is one of the most widely used libraries for building machine-learning models – and this short tutorial is the easiest way to learn how. You’ll train your first model on a fashion image dataset and see how small changes affect its performance.
Watch now
Research spotlight Which AI Coding Tools Do Developers Actually Use at Work? Trying every new AI coding tool, but not sure which are here to stay? We surveyed more than 10,000 developers to see which ones they actually reach for at work. The results show a clear shift from general-purpose chat toward specialized tools built for development.
