Blog post: Demystifying Garbage Collectors

[Alex Rønne Petersen]

Essentially an explanation of garbage collection for the layman 
programmer. Though, it does assume some familiarity with C and memory 
management. It's an abstract article not particularly specific to any GC 
implementation, but I figured I'd post it here anyway in case anyone's 
interested.
