Abstract

The Web is an important resource for a programmer: as much as 20% of a programmer's time is spent on the Web [2]. When a programmer searches for information on the Web, two distinct information needs arise depending on the programmer's previous knowledge of a library's Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): learning how to invoke a software library versus reminding the programmers themselves the details deemed not worth remembering [2].
