I've been learning PHP OOP for quite a while and I've loved getting to know the language, finding solutions to problems and so forth.
Although, quite often, people keep recommending different frameworks for me to start using. I can imagine using a framework is more efficient, time effective and so forth but It seems to take quite a lot of the fun out of things.
My next challenge is to create a fully functional tutorial website and blog.
My question is, do you use a PHP framework and should I really start using one?
I was also debating whether to use CodeIgniter or CakePHP...

Is there some kind of obvious database should I use for a Bulletin Board if I wanted to code one? I think I know how to code the rest of it, I know the imperative code to handle the logic, but I don't really know much about databases yet. This I can learn of course, I'm just wondering if there is something obvious I should know in the beginning, or an obvious place to start learning, besides sql 101. Also, please don't suggest reading the code of an open source project. I know that option is there. It's hard to decipher code in a language you don't understand really well.
You can check out this place they've got tons of database sample you can use to jumpstart a project http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/

Given so much praise for languages such as haskell, erlang, why none of them can become a mainstream language?
Is it due to their learning curve? Or too much symbol notation?
Because most people don't know how to program functionally.
Because overcoming a dominant paradigm is difficult and takes time.
Because "nobody ever got fired for choosing Java" (corollary of above, from FUD).
Because real-world programming isn't always perfectly functional–we love our side-effects.
Etc.
Much more info in this older SO answer, and unlike mine, it includes machine guns and aliens.

I've seen some great in-browser tutorials and/or practice exercises in other languages. To name a few:
Ruby: Tryruby.org
JS: Codeacademy.com
Rails: railsforzombies.com
I've also seen great Java algorithm challenges at codingbat.com.
I haven't found anything similar for learning C, or Objective-C (which is my real goal). Any suggestions?
go ahead with http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/objectivec/objc.pdf
for Objective-C. It works great on my browser- opens up the pdf.

For me both of them looks quite similar if it's going to features, but it's hard to say without using them (yet). So I have few questions:
1) Are they really feature comparable (more or less)?
2) Is there any example of enterprise or big open source system using any of them?
3) I have impression that Squeryl have better documentation, is lack of documentation in case of ScalaQuery real problem?
4) Which of them is growing faster and/or is faster on fixing the bugs?
5) Is any of them easier to use / more productive?

I would like to know if there are any tutorial websites for learning PyObjC apart from the home page of the project itself. I'm enthusiastic about being able to use python to develop native code and be productive without learning how to program in some of the other more traditional compiled languages. Anywhere I could get a screencast or good beginner tuts would be excellent.
You could start with Will Larson's stuff. You could read the Apple docs and do the temperature conversion thingie. You could do what I did and get Hillegass's book and then do the examples using PyObjC. You could read my stuff. I have lots of simple examples, but I'm just an amateur. You don't need to worry about Objective-C yet, but if you stick with it, you probably will.
And you really must learn that case matters.
