Anybody knows a good book or two (or resources) for JVM Tuning?
I am struggling to find any. I stumbled upon Apress Java EE 5 Performance Management and Optimization, but there was not much in there.

They aren't books, but, I find Sun's various performance whitepapers to be quite enlightening.
Java Tuning Whitepaper
Java SE 6 Performance Whitepaper

There is a chapter in JBoss in Action, chapter 14, Tuning the JBoss Application server that explains some techniques of managing JVM heaps.

what is the recommended progression of topics that one should pursue if they are trying to self-learn iOS programming after a solid foundation of the C programming language is established?
How about buying an Objective-C book on amazon.
Object Oriented Design and ObjC Memory Management -- just try porting your C programs to ObjC, learn the APIs (mostly in Foundation.framework) and see how it executes in a sampler. Then make more complex programs of great quality, then move on to UIs and more specialized frameworks you're interested in.

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?

Does someone know a free web-based test case management software? I looked around in the internet and on some comparisons, but either they are expensive as hell or looking bad as hell ... (basic HTML tables).
Thanks for your hints!
I also tried for same but as u said no tool can fulfill requirements so i am using Test Point Metrics approach. It is best approach in any environment. By this approach not only we can do unit and integration testing but also validate the requirements. Time for writing Test Point Metrics is just after the Requirement understanding
A template of Test Point Metrics available here:
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/80205542/Test-Plan
And a comprehensive review on such tools available here:

Can I use free SQLServer Express in my commercial windows project? Are there any license issues? How many nodes it supports in multiuser environment ?
Quick answer is Yes. I have heard of MS themselves say it is OK. See this MSDN forums thread.
SQL Server Express is distributed for free and can be used reliably in any small business application.
The Wikipedia article is quite good at highlighting the key drawbacks of using an Express edition compared to a commercial SQL Server instance. Most notable perhaps is the lack of a SQL Server Agent process, which is usually used for job scheduling.
