I am new to ETL and BI intelligence. I want to learn and work on Pentaho Spoon tool for ETL. I have searched a lot for a tutorial/blog or guide which should be an excellent and easy for a nascent user. i want this tutorial consisting of following things.
i. Which steps should be used?
ii. Where should we use any step?
iii. Which steps should be skipped and why?
iv. How to maintain the performance?
The performance is the main issue for me and i want to make a brilliant KTR's in the sense of time and memory.
Note: For me Stackoverflow is the best platform to ask such type of question's from an intelligent and wise peoples.

Read the Kettle cookbook ( Proper book, available on amazon ) it has all of this. This is far too much to answer in a single tutorial or q&a site!

The books "Pentaho Solutions" and "Pentaho Kettle Solutions" of Roland Bouman, Jos van Dongen and Matt Casters are recommended too. Further, the first book works with MySQL if it can be useful for you.
I've also read "Pentaho 3.2 Data Integration", because although it is about an old version, it was quite useful to start and understand how to use some transformations or do some tasks.

This questions seems let research,
butt still you can use Pentaho Data Integration Steps documentation where by going through each step you will get all answer for your question.

Unless I am misunderstanding you... you are asking someone to illegally send you a copy of this book in e-book format. That's rather unethical. And it goes against the spirit, if not the rules, of StackOverflow. Not to mention the law. Authors work hard to write books. I'm sure this one is no exception. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if people stole things from you and/or your company. You'd be out of a job soon and living on the streets. If you want a copy of the book -- e-book or physical book -- you can buy it.

I'm not aware of any really good books, but there is a very good overview demo to get started with:

Have fun!
I guess this is the one you refer to. As you can see, it should(or already) out this month, but you'll have to wait, till you can download it from web for free. If you would like to master this program, you should just code and in time you'll know pretty much that you need.

Is anyone familiar with a code analysis tool along the lines of NDepend or JDepend for Powerbuilder?
I'm looking for something that can analyse dependencies and metrics such as SLOC, Cyclomatic Complexity etc. for a large, legacy Powerbuilder application.
The only code analysis tool I know for PB is Visual Expert. I've given it a look some time ago but have never actually used it, so I can't say if it does what the other tools you mention do.
Visual Expert is great. PBL Peeper can do these tasks as well, and it's free... :)
Visual Expert is good, but has some flaws. I tried it to analyze our server side code(EA Server) and found some issues. It's impact analysis feature is good to document a Dependency/Calling Hierarchy in the PB code.
I also tried, [PB code analyzer]:http://www.ecocion.com/pbca-powerbuilder-code-analyzer and it does a good job of documenting PB code.
I am not sure, if they do the metrics you are looking for. I found below links, googling(I didn't try these myself):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis
http://documentation.microfocus.com/help/index.jsp?topic=%2FGUID.571F6E84.1EE2.4F68.80C7.B1DC863536CB%2FGUID-E418791C-B249-434D-BD5A-A2B570F9FA31.html
Recently I came across this tool called CAST
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAST_Application_Intelligence_Platform
None of the other alleged metrics do any better than SLOC, and some are anti-predictive. Just run wc -l over your source files.

As resident techie I have been charged with teaching some colleagues VB specifically for use with Excel.
My main duties involve MySQL and Objective-C and haven't touched VB since University. While I'm not worried about the prospect of learning VB (how hard can it be, right?). I have no clue on where to point my "students" to start.
Any good books? Online tutorials? I will of-course be sending them to SO.
I like VBA Developer's Handbook by Getz and Gilbert for a book. On the internets, I always wind up at ozgrid.com and cpearson.com.
About.com often has good stuff.
After that maybe some Free VBA Tutorials
Google search came up with - http://www.vbtutor.net/VBA/vba_tutorial.html this one is very basic and probably you will just have to breeze thru it and then probably move on to my personal favorite www.ozgrid.com

I read this book:
Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Now i am looking forward to find a Software that make it easy to collect all my Ideas etc (specific Software for OOA).
At the moment i am using my Whiteboard to collect/design Ideas etc. Afterwards i am taking pictures of it and add text to our Wiki/Trac.
At school, we're using Objecteering, which is easy to use, integrated to Eclipse, but not free.
IMO blank paper is a must, but not always the easier to share and to edit.
Install mediawiki (the stuff that powers wikipedia, don't settle for anything less you will need the full feature set eventually) and put all your ideas in there. This makes it easy to refine them and to improve then as time goes by.

Okay, you don't need to be a guru, but if you happen to have a good working knowledge on SSIS and you used some tutorials around the web to get you there, then please share them. I have been trying to find some solid stuff (screencasts maybe), but I am having a hard time.
Any solid links would be appreciated and I will add them to this question in an aggregated format at the end. Thank you.
So far we have:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson
http://sqlis.com
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/ A very, very good place to start,
I would recommend en excellent series of articles by Marcin Policht
There are about 50 articles at the moment and each focuses on different aspect of the SSIS, they are pretty detailed and I found them to be an excellent source of information on the subject of SSIS
Another great resource besides Cochango (great blog btw!) is http://www.sqlis.com/
I also found these two books to be very helpful:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services
Expert SQL Server 2005 Integration Services
I read them in the order that they are listed above.
These links are mainly components, but they have good information resources also.
http://www.sqlbi.com/ - Some great SSIS components for data warehousing BI
http://www.konesans.com/products.aspx - Some more useful components
