Line 1: '''Example-centric programming''' is an approach to [[software development]] that helps the user to create software by locating and modifying small examples into a larger whole. That approach can be helped by tools that allow an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) to show code examples or [[API]] documentation related to coding behaviors occurring in the IDE. “Borrow” tactics are often employed from online sources, by programmers leaving the IDE to troubleshoot.<ref name="blueprint">{{cite book\|last1=Scaffidi\|first1=Christopher\|last2=Brandt\|first2=Joel\|last3=Burnett\|first3=Margaret\|author3-link=Margaret Burnett\|last4=Dove\|first4=Andrew\|last5=Myers\|first5=Brad\|title~~=SIG: end-user programming\|journal~~=CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems \|chapter=SIG: End-user programming \|date=2012\|pages=1193–1996\|doi=10.1145/2212776.2212421\|isbn=9781450310161\|s2cid=17748945 }}</ref> The purpose of example-centric programming is to reduce the time spent by developers searching online. Ideally, in example-centric programming, the [[user interface]] integrates with help module examples for assistance without programmers leaving the IDE. The idea for this type of “instant documentation” is to reduce programming interruptions.<ref name="redprint">{{cite book\|last1=Bhardwaj\|first1=Anant\|last2=Luciano\|first2=Date\|last3=Klemmer\|first3=Scott\|title=Proceedings of the 24th annual ACM symposium adjunct on User interface software and technology \|chapter=Redprint \|date=2011\|pages=21–22\|doi=10.1145/2046396.2046408\|isbn=9781450310147\|s2cid=23031454 }}</ref> The usage of this feature is not limited to experts, as some novices reap the benefits of an integrated knowledge base, without resorting to frequent web searches or browsing.<ref name="blueprint" /> Line 46: A codelet is a block of example code an interactive helper widget that assists the user in understanding and integrating the example. ;Bing Code Search <ref>{{cite web\|last1=Shiban\|first1=Ala\|title=Introducing Bing Code Search for C#\|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2014/02/17/introducing-bing-code-search-for-c.aspx\|website=blogs.msdn.com\|date=17 February 2014 \|accessdate=8 December 2014}}</ref> Bing Code Search is an extension to [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] developed by a team made of people from Visual Studio, Bing and Microsoft Research that allows developers to search code examples and documentation from [[Bing (search engine)\|Bing]] directly from [[IntelliSense]]. Line 56: ;UpCodeIn UpCodeIn is a source code ~~search~~ search engine that allows developers to find and reuse software components from the Internet. A unique feature of UpCodeIn compared to other source code search engines is its ability to find code for syntax element, for example you can find methods with specific parameter type, annotation, variables. UpCodeIn understand syntax of many programming languages like Java, JavaScript, Python and C#.
