Abstract

A system and method for providing a curated learning and community roadmap for a code developer based on a code sample that is parsed to identify the characteristics of the code sample. The identified characteristics are used to query a database having learning content and community resources mapped to possible characteristics of a code sample. The resulting learning content and community resources that are retrieved from the database are thus directed specifically to the characteristics of the code sample and used to provide the code developer with a learning roadmap of the learning content as well as a community roadmap of community resources. The possible characteristics comprise file types, import statements, specific code and are mapped to beginner content, intermediate content, and advanced content, respectively

First claim

1 . A method of providing a curated learning and community roadmap for a code developer, comprising the steps of:
receiving a code sample from a code developer having at least one characteristic of a plurality of possible characteristics; parsing the code sample to identify any characteristics in the code sample; querying a first database having learning content and community resources mapped to the plurality of possible characteristics using the identified characteristics in the parsed code sample to retrieve learning content mapped to the identified characteristics, wherein the learning content and community resources comprises a plurality of online learning resources; and providing the code developer with a learning roadmap of learning content and community resources in the database that is mapped to the identified characteristics, wherein the learning roadmap of learning content and community resources comprises an identification of one or more of the online learning resources.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise file types.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the learning content mapped to file types comprises beginner content.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise import statements.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the learning content mapped to the import statements comprises intermediate content.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise specific code.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the learning content mapped to the specific code comprises advanced content.

8 . A system for providing a curated learning and community roadmap for a code developer, comprising:
a database having predetermined mappings that map a plurality of possible characteristics of a code sample to learning content and community resources about the plurality of possible characteristics; and a content mapping engine programmed to receive a code sample from a code developer, to parse the code sample to identify at least one characteristic of the plurality of possible characteristics sample, and to query the database using the identified characteristics in the parsed code sample to retrieve learning content and community resources mapped to the identified characteristics, wherein the learning content and community resources comprises a plurality of online learning resources; and a learning output module programmed to provide the retrieved learning content and community resources to the code developer.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise file types.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the learning content mapped to file types comprises beginner content.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise import statements.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the learning content mapped to the import statements comprises intermediate content.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise specific code.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the learning content mapped to the specific code comprises advanced content.

15 . A computer program product for providing a curated learning and community roadmap for a code developer, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:
receive a code sample from a code developer having at least one characteristic of a plurality of possible characteristics; parse the code sample to identify any characteristics in the code sample; query a database having learning content and community resources mapped to the plurality of possible characteristics using the identified characteristics in the parsed code sample to retrieve learning content mapped to the identified characteristics, wherein the learning content and community resources comprises a plurality of online learning resources and provide the code developer with a learning roadmap of learning content in the database that is mapped to the identified characteristics and a community roadmap of community resources in the database, wherein the learning roadmap of learning content and community resources comprises an identification of one or more of the online learning resources.

16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise file types.

17 . The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the learning content mapped to file types comprises beginner content.

18 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise import statements.

19 . The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the learning content mapped to the import statements comprises intermediate content.

20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of possible characteristics comprise specific code.
