Module development and code questions

I'm writing code to display a client's database as pageable tables. I've been going through the API docs on drupaldocs.org, but haven't found good survey documents or sample code.

Can any of you recommend where I can find some? It isn't clear which theme_* function to call where, something that sample code could settle for me pretty quickly.

Thanks,
Rob

I didn't see something like
http://www.degraaf.nl/vacatures.asp
(dinamical select box) in Drupal. I think it is rather important feature, may be there are any existing modules that can do that? I think it should be flexinode.module feature, but not sure.

Has anyone tried to make it so that, using the wiki input filter, someone could rename a wiki page?

In other words, now [google | http://www.google.com] displays "google"; has anyone hacked the module so that [some other text | node] would display "some other text" and not "node"?

If so, what would/does that look like?

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in an instant messager module for their drupal site. I've developed one that lets you store IM screen names in your personal profile info and then display online status. Currently it's only setup to display AOL/AIM names but it could be modified to include icq, msn, etc. Here's a demo of it if anyone's interested:

The block is called "who's on IM". Logging in allows you to add your own custom buddy list too...
