Context-based search to overcome learning barriers in software development

During the software development process, developers are often faced with problem solving situations that motivate the use of the Web to search for information. However, there is a gap between the IDE and the Web, requiring the developers to spend significant time searching for relevant information and navigating through web pages in a Web browser. We propose a tool that aim to aid developers overcoming the learning barriers that exist when working with technologies that they do not master, facilitating the access to question/answer web resources through a context-based search interface, integrated in the IDE. We present an example of use, to better understand our approach.
