In recent years, searching for source code on the web has become
increasingly common among professional software developers and is
emerging as an area of academic research. This volume surveys past
research and presents the state of the art in the area of "code
retrieval on the web." This work is concerned with the algorithms,
systems, and tools to allow programmers to search for source code
on the web and the empirical studies of these inventions and
practices. It is a label that we apply to a set of related research
from software engineering, information retrieval, human-computer
interaction, management, as well as commercial products. The
division of code retrieval on the web into snippet remixing and
component reuse is driven both by empirical data, and analysis of
existing search engines and tools. Contributors include leading
researchers from human-computer interaction, software engineering,
programming languages, and management. "Finding Source Code on the
Web for Remix and Reuse" consists of five parts. Part I is titled
"Programmers and Practices," and consists of a retrospective
chapter and two empirical studies on how programmers search the web
for source code. Part II is titled "From Data Structures to
Infrastructures," and covers the creation of ground-breaking search
engines for code retrieval required ingenuity in the adaptation of
existing technology and in the creation of new algorithms and data
structures. Part III focuses on "Reuse: Components and Projects,"
which are reused with minimal modification. Part IV is on "Remix:
Snippets and Answers," which examines how source code from the web
can also be used as solutions to problems and answers to questions.
The book concludes with Part V, "Looking Ahead," that looks at
future programming and the legalities of software reuse and remix
and the implications of current intellectual property law on the
future of software development. The story, "Richie Boss: Private
Investigator Manager," was selected as the winner of a crowdfunded
short story contest."
