It is always a good idea for any professional in any field to refresh concepts and learn new things. In my case I am a Senior System Architect for a company in the West Coast so I constantly polish my skills in Computer Science. Hope physicians do the same thing with medical books ;o)

In my case I am comparing the performance of different sorting algorithms. If interested get a copy of Algorithms and take it for a spin. Continue reading “Sort Times – Part I”
