Wikipedia (as usual) has very nice material on this[1]. Here are also some[2][3] graphical representations of sorting algorithims.
EDIT 2010: found [4] this on topic, you never know when there is a new search algorithm appearing.

Webservices - Ménage à trois
Here I want to write down a little reminder to myself about current Webservices techniques.
RPC - Remote Procedure Call
Uses XML encoded Data types for communication.
WSDL - Webservices
So this is powering all the SOA(P?!) Hype. I have only some limited experience with some WSDL Webservices build using .NET 1.0 / 2.0.
Visual Studio holds your hand very nicely (as expected) for simple stuff. But to deal with more complex and custom Objects it would be very interesting i guess. I tried a "quick" example to get a Java client to interact with a .NET Webservice and it failed miserably.
REST - Representational State Transfer
Usually it goes like this: You have some kind of data and then you think about API's, how to access or manipulate this data. REST turns things a little upside down. There is a well defined set of operations : GET, PUT, DELETE. The concept is focused on the interaction of state full resources.
It will be interesting to see how these will develop in the future.

Google Code Search
Recently I found Google Code Search (via Labs) and its pretty amazing!
If you usually "google" for some code you end up on some blog, forum, mailing list or such. But It seems there are some (open source!) repository's connected to GCS and this is interesting because it allow you to look for specific API's or usage of the same. I was looking for some advanced JFace Viewer examples which provided custom column editing. The user interface of GCS is really nice and let you explore e.g. a complete SVN repository so you can find the you file with your desired snippet. Additionally it enables you to see how the class containing your snippet is actually used with other classes.
In my opinion GCS is a very powerful tool which enables you to search for code from a very different perspective.
