I'm a MAC user (not a fan :D) .. and I'm working these days on my graduation project in B.sc degree of Computer Science, and specifically I'm in the design phase. I've looked for CASE tools that should help me on my work, but unfortunately it seems there are no powerful CASE tools available!
could anyone suggest a good tool for me ?
Thanks in advance.
I would look at cross platform tools based on Java, specifically, tools which are based on the Eclipse platform. Eclipse runs really well on OS X, in fact, I believe it works even better than it does on Windows. Not all Eclipse-based tools will run on Mac (for example, Rational will not), but most will.
Look at the Eclipse Marketplace for some popular tools for UML, modeling, etc.
While this is likely to be closed as off-topic, you should see the other closed discussion or Apple's Visio replacement threads.
Summary is:
OmniGraffle for general, commercial diagramming.
Eclipse based tools, as most UML is for writing the bulky Java code.
Web based tools such as GenMyModel and Gliffy.
Any from the long list on Wikipedia.
As always, the exact needs you have will dictate your tool.

Can someone suggest a IDE for Ruby which will make it easier to understand the code flow of the project. I am looking for something similar to intellij remote debugger for JAVA. The debugger should transfer the complete control of the code, so that stepping into and stepping out of the code becomes easier.
Rubymine is a very good IDE by JetBrains, so you should be on famillier grounds if you've worked IntelliJ. Among other things, it has a built in debugger with the functionalities you described.
One major caveat though - it's not free, and there's no community edition like there is for IntelliJ.
I use cloud9 IDE for Ruby programming and it does everything and more. You get a full Linux environment which includes a terminal, file-tree structure navigation and a code-editor. Best of all it's free to use but there are upgrade options if you need more muscle.
You can even collaborate on it (which you may have to pay for, I'm not sure).

I'm not sure that I'm using the correct language here so I will give some examples of web sites which I believe have 'Web 2.0'look and feel
https://www.yammer.com/
http://www.heroku.com/
https://foursquare.com/
http://24sevenoffice.com/
http://www.formassembly.com
They all have big text, big buttons, plus very slick and tasteful AJAX/CSS. My question is how is this look and feel assembled? Some possible ideas I have had:
. Underlying library such as jQuery/GWT
. Handled by web framework such as Rails/Django
. Coded completely from scratch
To me all the sites have sufficient similarity that there does seem to be some type of underlying common mechanism. The reason I'm asking is that as a developer I'm wondering if I can assemble a Web 2.0 looking site using some type of tool kit.
There are common frameworks and tools to help with the development, sure. You mention two of them. However, a tool alone isn't going to do it. Not unless you just entirely conform to some kind of brown-and-serve framework. (I don't know of any off-hand.)
Good look and feel comes from good UI/UX design. I'll bet that each of those example sites you gave has a talented graphic designer behind it (either on staff or contracted for making the site) who is proud of their creative work, and simply used some tools to help facilitate that work.
I have just discovered Bootstrap and this is exactly what I was looking for

Is there any open-source free tool for automated UI testing for Mac OS X (Cocoa) apps?
So far I've seen commercial tools such as [Squish] and [EggPlant]. The only free tools I've read about are using UIAutomation or Automator.
Does anyone have any experience with these tools? any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.
I created an open source Python package that uses the Apple Accessibility API among others to create a classic GUI automation library, giving you visibility into and interaction with Cocoa GUIs. PyATOM home page and GitHub repo
Have a look at http://sikuli.org/ - that lets you automize your OS X GUI tests (for free).
AppleScript is another option for simple ui simulation.
(no, you do not need to create a scripting definition to perform basic tasks)

The only full-fledged GPL Cocoa editor for GEDCOM 5.5 files (GenerationX) was last released in 2003: http://sourceforge.net/projects/generationx/
It looks unstable under Snow Leopard and would badly need a revamp.
Someone recently posted a proof-of-concept application (unrelated to GenerationX) on Google Code, but it looks like an unmaintained project:
http://code.google.com/p/cocoa-gedcom/
Is there any Cocoa developer interested in genealogy and willing to resurrect any of these projects? Or any other projects with a decent release cycle I am not aware of?
The Mac genealogy software market is dominated by pricy and feature-bloated proprietary solutions. A no-nonsense open source GEDCOM-compliant framework for Mac OS would be a blessing.
Did you check out GRAMPS? (Written in Python, using Gtk. So it doesn't look native on OSX, but works.)
There is MacPAF, but I'm not sure what the status of it is.
If you are still looking into Genealogy-Software, you might want to try the free program "Familienbande".
It's available for Mac and for Windows, free for personal use, supports GedCom and it is well maintained. I only use the German version (the developer is German) but since he has some native speaking US contributors, I assume the English version should also be usable.
The UI needs some getting used to, but for a free program, it is absolutely perfect.
Give it a try under:

Is there any application for UI sketching on Mac OS X? Something like SketchFlow on Windows.
I really, really, really (you get the idea) love Balsamiq Mockups. It's cross-platform, via Adobe Air.
Omnigraffle is a very nice UI drafting system.
Extra stencils: http://graffletopia.com/
Balsamiq Mockups is cross-platform and is a very solid sketching program.
ForeUI is worth trying. It can run in Mac OS and you can freely switch your design style between sketch and Mac OS look.
Another option is Wireframe Sketcher, which is built atop the Eclipse platform, so is inherently cross-platform.
Haven't tried it, but you might also look at EasyPrototype: http://www.extremeplanner.com/easyprototype/
MockupScreens runs on Mac (I am developer). You might check it out, it's pretty popular. It's low fidelity, aimed for analysts and UX people, ie. non-programmer "civilians".
And here is the most comprehensive list of mockup tools I know of, some of them run on Mac:
