Add Programming Education Resource Recommender domain

[Qiu-Difeng]

Programming Education Resource Recommender

/attempt #9

What it adds

A new domain adaptation for the AO Labs Recommender System focused on programming/coding education resources.

Domain: Programming Learning Resources

Suggests coding tutorials, courses, and practice resources based on:

• Topic (10 categories): Web Dev, Mobile, Data Science, AI/ML, Systems, DevOps, Game Dev, Blockchain, IoT, Security
• Difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
• Format: Video, Interactive/Hands-on
• Experience: No experience through Senior

Files added

• arch__CodingEduRecommender.py - Architecture file with 8-bit binary encoding (topic:3 + diff:2 + format:1 + exp:2)
• coding_edu_domain.py - Domain data with 12-item resource catalog, encoding functions, and lookup maps
• coding_edu_recommender.py - Full Streamlit UI with preference selectors, recommendation engine, and feedback training
• tests/test_coding_edu.py - 7 unit tests covering catalog completeness, encoding, uniqueness, and URL validation
• README.md - Updated with new domain documentation

How it works

1. User selects their programming interests, skill level, preferred format, and experience
2. System encodes preferences as 8-bit binary input for AO architecture
3. Recommends the best matching resource from the 12-item catalog
4. User provides 👍/👎 feedback which trains the agent
5. System learns to make better recommendations over time

Testing

python -m pytest tests/test_coding_edu.py -v

Why this domain?

Programming education is a rapidly growing field where personalized recommendations can significantly impact learning outcomes. A recommender that continuously learns from user feedback can adapt to individual learning patterns, something traditional static recommendation systems cannot do.

This is distinct from all other submitted domains (career, home maintenance, plant care, board game, volunteering, pet adoption, book, personal finance).
