Please recommend some material about implementing Object-Oriented Databases for dynamic languages (interested in Ruby).
I realise that OODBs do not have a good mathematical foundation, but still the information I could find is absolutely insufficient for me to start working on a new OODB.
Thanks.
Have a look at Won Kim's "Introduction to Object-Oriented Databases". It's considered an authoritative source on the matter.
EDIT: An alternative reference is "Object-Relational Database Development" by Paul Brown. It takes an object/relational approach, which may be interesting given the prevalence of relational technologies these days.
There are several for pay papers:
An implementation of a multimedia object-oriented database management system
An object-oriented database system Jasmine: implementation, application, and extension
The Design and Implementation of an Object Oriented Database Management System-OMNIX
Then there's also the website odbms.org, which has resources online:
http://www.odbms.org/downloads.aspx
Last but not least I'd probably try to search for whitepapers or tech docs for a popular ODBMS like Caché.

I'm a Ruby programmer and need to learn RPG IV because of my current project. I want to learn primitive types, data structures, control flows, architecture etc. Online resources are as good as paper books.
What book or online tutorial should I start with?
This Red Book from IBM is still quite relevant today.
IBM i Information Center is the source for the actual documentation.
RPG-L is a great mailing list with hundreds of helpful people to answer all of your questions.
Another link I knew was out there, but couldn't find at first was from Scott Klement who is well known in the IBM i community.
You can run JRuby natively on the iSeries if that's your primary skill set.
There may be some pushback if you have some stodgy graybeards that are afraid of new technology stacks.

I may have to contribute to a legacy system, classic asp with vbscript web app at work.
What are some good learning tutorials/books on this.
Please don't say you should just use .NET mvc as changing the existing system isn't an option.
I won't forget the good old ASP For Dummies, read it every day for about one month and enjoyed every page of it. Clear, simple and to the point. :)
I would recommend this book, i used to use it as a daily reference when i started learning classic asp, pretty much like yourself i didnt have the option to use dot net
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-ASP-3-0-Programmer/dp/0764543636/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297414852&sr=1-11
Also try http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp for some basic samples. If you provide more information on what you will be coding in asp i can probably suggest more sites.
Regards

One of the jobs I'm looking at requires good experience with EAI.
Was wondering if anyone can recommend good EAI books / resources?
I've had this book for several years, and I still regard it as a valuable reference.
Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions
The author also has a list of books on his website.
Although not a classical eai book i like "Enterprise Service Bus" by Dave Chapell -> it adresses many Integration challenges and gives a rough understanding of some key principles of "modern integration"
The already mentioned Enterprise Integration Patterns is also very good for diving into some conceptual background.

Please suggest premium or free online video sources that address web development.
I'm looking for the satisfy the following areas in particular.
Web architecture and planning
Web Usability and Design
Specific programming languages/frameworks namely (PHP, RoR, javascript, CSS)
Database Design
AJAX, jQuery
Any other areas needed to be a top notch developer (Note I didn't mean 'web designer', or 'web programmer')
So far the only great premium sites I'm aware of are lynda.com (for everything) and Peepcode.com (RoR). I know there's more out there like them. Please share.
The best foundational programming information that I've found is Stanford Open Campus, specifically:
CS106A
Here are some other resources to compete with Lynda.com
UDEMY
Learnable
Video2Brain
Creative Live
Kelby
VTC
TUTSPLUS
Digital Tutors
Team Treehouse
Code Academy
Code School
Peepcode
TotalTraining
I just found a good resource:
Harvard CS-75 - Building Dynamic Websites
http://academicearth.org/courses/building-dynamic-websites
A previous version is also on iTunes.
How about lynda.com's main competitor (but number two, I think), http://www.vtc.com.

Do you know any source for nice looking software designs? (non Web).
There is always Apple Design Awards or something like the Mobile User Experience Awards for mobile applications.
There are some good examples on http://emberapp.com. Mostly for Mac though ...
I would take a look at http://quince.infragistics.com/, while not complete applications, it does show you some best practices/design patterns for both Windows and Web applications.
I'd also take a look at some of the Windows Forms component companies, DevExpress, Telerik and Infragistics. You can learn a lot from the look and feel of their components.
In this case... a lot of programmers tend to talk only about the worst examples...cause UI really depends on personel taste.
Have a look at this question for the worst examples:
Stackoverflow Question
From my point of view i prefer clear looks...nothing fancy etc...but it really depends on the software and topic...hope this helps
