2. 1. What is the problem? Developers have a well established workflow when troubleshooting coding problems. This process often includes accessing code examples in sites such as stack overflow and others.
3. 1. What is the problem? Developers have a well established workflow when troubleshooting coding problems. This process often includes accessing code examples in sites such as stack overflow and others.
4. 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1. Feat. Richard Feynman I need to write a function to save data in a physics simulation application.
5. Feat. Richard Feynman I need to use a FileWriter, and then a BufferedWriter? Oh man, I don’t remember the API usage recepy. 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
6. Feat. Richard Feynman I guess I’ll have to Google examples using the keywords that I remember. 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
7. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
8. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
9. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
10. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
11. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 1.
12. More often than not, troubleshooting coding problems is not a trivial task that can be solved using autocompletion tools. 1. What is the problem?
13. 1. What is the problem? More often than not, troubleshooting coding problems is not a trivial task that can be solved using autocompletion tools. Code Nuggets is not a code prediction tool!
14. Feat. Richard Feynman I need to send a considerable amount of physics data to a remote cluster for further processing! 1. What is the problem? Scenario 2.
15. Feat. Richard Feynman The interface of the processing server follows a SOAP standard. I need to develop a SOAP client! 1. What is the problem? Scenario 2.
16. Feat. Richard Feynman 1. What is the problem? Scenario 2.
17. Feat. Richard Feynman Yay! GO SGI Cluster! 1. What is the problem? Scenario 2.
18. Feat. Richard Feynman Yay! GO SGI Cluster! 1. What is the problem? Scenario 2.
19. 2. What is Code Nuggets? Code Nuggets is an eclipse plugin that allows developers to search and insert code snippets available in Gist directly in eclipse. Feat. Richard Feynman It allows developers to code by example! relying on publicly available solutions from the best developers around the globe.
20. 2. What is Code Nuggets? Gist is an online platform created by Github to share snippets and pastes among developers.
21. 2. What is Code Nuggets? All gists are Git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable from Git.
22. 2. What is Code Nuggets? Currently more than 10 millions of gists, written in all the imaginable programming and scripting languages, are accessible from the Gist website.
23. 2. What is Code Nuggets? Gist is a rich source of coding examples that could potentially provide developers
24. Back to the problem. Here are some questions that developers ask...
25. 1. What API should I use to solve a given problem? 2. How does my code compare with implementations of more experienced developers? 3. Is there an alternative solution to my current problem? (e.g. due to deprecation)
26. CodeNuggets Feature Summary.
27. A. Keyword-based Search
28. A. Keyword-based Search Search keywords and target language
29. A. Keyword-based Search Snippet result list
30. A. Keyword-based Search Snippet author’s social coding information
31. B. Social-Ranking Search Snippet author ranked search
32. B. Social-Ranking Search Gist contains social coding information on the snippets that it stores.
33. B. Social-Ranking Search Including number of forks, comments and people that favorited the snippet.
34. B. Social-Ranking Search Gist also contains information about the github account of the snippet's author.
35. B. Social-Ranking Search However, gist doesn’t contain social coding information about the author.
36. B. Social-Ranking Search The author’s social coding information is contained in github in an independent fashion.
37. B. Social-Ranking Search It includes the author’s number of followers and starred repositories.
38. B. Social-Ranking Search
39. It uses static analysis to create additional search keywords C. Context-based Search
40. It captures class, method, and member names. C. Context-based Search
41. It also extracts the types used in a method or class (API usage inference) C. Context-based Search
