In a follow up to his previous post on using Neo4j with PHP, Josh Adell looks in a bit more detail about how to find paths in the data via a REST interface to the database.

Systhread: "Rule 5. Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident.

Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming"

LWN.net: "The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of this new scheduler, describe its features and how it can be practically used, provide a few details about the implemented algorithms, and gathering feedback by the community about possible improvements."

Auto-captioning launched in limited beta in November of last year. It was for select partners to test out the system, where Google’s algorithms would parse words within videos and transform it into captions — speech-to-text, a technology used on he Nexus One and Android.

Andrei Alexandrescu: Iterators Must Go, BoostCon 2009 keynote.

Presents a simple yet far-reaching replacement for iterators, called ranges, and interesting "D" libraries built on it: std.algorithm and std.range.

...a domain specific language for simulating football. ... We have used Soccer-Fun in teaching during the past four years.

We have also experience in using Soccer-Fun for pupils in secondary education. ... It engages students to problem solving with functional programming because it allows them to compete at several disciplines: the best performing football team can become champion of a tournament; the best written code can be awarded with a prize; students can be judged on the algorithms used.

This enables every student to participate and perform at her favourite skill. ...

On the Coders' View blog there's a recent post looking at using the strategy design pattern in your PHP application.
