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.

There is a new Agile software tool on the Market. It is very lightweight and easy to use. I cannot remember the name of it and it is not coming up in any of my searches. I want to say its called velocity or something. But I cant seem to get it down. If anyone know's what I am talking about then please reply.
Maybe you are talking about Upvise (http://upvise.com/)
"Upvise provides mobile on-demand sync & collaboration software and hosted services for small businesses. With Upvise, you can organize and share information with your co-workers, and sync data between all the mobile phones and web accounts in your company."

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.

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 am searching for a good online project managment software. There are plenty of them though. So, the best way would be to get some recommendations. :-)
Lately I've found Zoho Projects.. does anyone use it?
Thanks for answers.

I've used ProjectPier: http://www.projectpier.org/
but we are now moving to http://teambox.com/community
They are open source "replicas" of Basecamp. Teambox seems to be much more up to date as ProjectPier hasn't had a release in a loooooooooooong time.
There's also Trac, which I like because it ties into svn and gives you milestones, bug tracking, etc. http://trac.edgewall.org/
I'm using AgileZen and I'm happy with it. It implements the Kanban methodology and its very simple and effective. Pricing is not cheap, but they give a free account to free software projects.

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
