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."

In OPHELIA'S GHOST (set in the American Southwest in 1958) Eva, an anthropologist in her mid-30s, disappears from her campsite in the Canyons of the Ancients. As local tracker Joe Hill searches for her, the story weaves together ancient Puebloan cultures, the Art of Memory, UFOs, Einstein's relativity, parallel universes, and a question Shakespearean scholars have debated since 1598-Can we know if we've truly seen a ghost? Now, 25 years earlier in FALL OF '33, from the window of a train, 12-year-old Eva looks back--observing, associating, remembering the fall of 1933, her last twenty days on her family's farm nestled in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. With her parents Doc and Leah, Eva rides the train west, to the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, across the Plains, and on to their new home in Django, Colorado. With Billy, she finds her first young love, learns about her family's ghostly past, and discovers mysteries about herself. Grandfather Poppy prepares her for life-changing journeys as he relates the stories of her family's Indian and mystical ancestry in Virginia, dating back to Shakespeare's time and before. While inventing new games, exploring the woods around their farm, and joining family and friends in traditional social gatherings in 1933 rural Virginia, Eva's experiences unveil secrets of the past, present, and future. The darkness of this period--economic depression, drought, and burgeoning eugenics--is balanced by the shining potential of the human imagination.

The increased availability and quality of open source software on the Web is creating more opportunities for developers to reuse software and is changing the way developers write source code. It is important to understand how developers look for source code on the Web so that tools and approaches can be suggested to better support developers' needs. Based on different approaches to understand how humans look for information, we propose a five-stage model to differentiate the stages that could take place when developers look for source code on the Web. We use this model to assess the effectiveness of existing tools.

What happens to faith when the creeds and confessions can no longer be squared with historical and empirical evidence? Most critical scholars have wrestled with this question. Some have found ways to reconcile their personal religious belief with the scholarship they practice. Others have chosen to reconstruct their view of religious meaning in light of what they have learned. But most have tended not to share those views in a public forum. And that brings up a second question: At what point does the discrepancy between what I know, or think I know, and what I am willing to say publicly become so acute that my personal integrity is at stake? Being honest about what one thinks has always mattered in critical scholarship. In the pages of ""When Faith Meets Reason"", thirteen scholars take up the challenge to speak candidly about how they negotiate the conflicting claims of faith and reason, in hopes that their journeys will inspire others to engage in their own search for meaning.
