Smart programming assistant

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device:

• to identify one or more processes corresponding to an application running on a system of a user;
• to monitor user input being provided to the application by the user, the user input associated with developing software code in one or more computer programming languages, wherein said monitoring comprises capturing keystroke data of the user in response to said identifying said one or more processes;
• to identify a context of said user input relative to said one or more computer programming languages;
• to obtain, from a storage system, (i) one or more candidate code completion suggestions that match the identified context, and (ii) information aggregated from a plurality of web sources that is linked to at least a given one of the candidate code completion suggestions, wherein the information comprises programming language documentation information and one or more code samples;
• and
• to output, in response to said user input, a ranked list of said one or more candidate code completion suggestions and at least a portion of the obtained information to a graphical user interface in real time, wherein the order of the ranked list is based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with said user.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured:
• to identify one or more processes corresponding to an application running on a system of a user;
• to monitor user input being provided to the application by the user, the user input associated with developing software code in one or more computer programming languages, wherein said monitoring comprises capturing keystroke data of the user in response to said identifying said one or more processes;
• to identify a context of said user input relative to said one or more computer programming languages;
• to obtain, from a storage system, (i) one or more candidate code completion suggestions that match the identified context, and (ii) information aggregated from a plurality of web sources that is linked to at least a given one of the candidate code completion suggestions, wherein the information comprises programming language documentation information and one or more code samples;
• and
• to output, in response to said user input, a ranked list of said one or more candidate code completion suggestions and at least a portion of the obtained information to a graphical user interface in real time, wherein the order of the ranked list is based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with said user.
