Description

The first link is to the bubblesort applet, that is part of a larger tutorial on quicksort and bubblesort.

Evaluation

Since I can't read German, I can't evaluate the quality of the tutorial, nor explain why these two particular algorithms are juxtaposed. However, the bubblesort applet itself, while visually quite appealing, is poor pedagogically. The example is tiny (5 values), the quantities are hard to distinguish, and the "bubbling up" is completely misleading since the values do not actually all shift up in the array as the visualization would imply. This is a canned animation, with no user interaction.
