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

Working on building out a Web2Print product I need some kind of editor that will allow a user to manipulate graphics and ultimately generate a PDF. There are plenty of HTML 2 PDF APIs available but I was hoping someone might have experience with something a little more integrated and suited for dealing with graphics/fonts/text?
In PHP the best opensource option is TCPDF http://www.tcpdf.org/
I wanted to answer this and update everyone on the solutions that I found. Through the Magento extension store I was able to find several commercial (although still very reasonably priced) solutions:
http://www.zetaprints.com/ and http://layoutbuddy.com/ look like the most full featured and supported (as well as no up-front licensing.)
Thanks for all of the responses!

Is there a tool, online or off, that will allow you to create and visualize a OOP structure so that you can plan your software before you code?
I'm looking for something that will allow me to lay out all my classes and put in method names and property names, this way I can look at the entire design at once and see what could be made better before I actually go in and write all that code.
There are many tools like that, some free some very expensive. If you live in the Microsoft world Visual Studio comes with wonderful designer. Otherwise search for "UML modelling tools" on your favorite search engine...

Can someone suggest me beginners learning resources for DCOM technology using vc++
Those with Sample codes would be very helpful.
Thanks
Look at codeproject.com "DCOM D-Mystified: A DCOM Tutorial" - seven articles & sources for beginers
It depends quite a bit on your exp level with COM. Moving to DCOM is really just a matter of creating an EXE-server, registering it on the remote machine and instantiating it via CoCreateInstanceEx.
You can create simple servers using the ATL app-wizard in VS. MSDN has a number of samples you can d/l.
I realize this isn't a tutorial but you haven't really stated what you know now.

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.

Anyone know of any examples that shows COM programming via Lua? Could require a library.
I need to write some external scripts for Photoshop, so wondering if it's possible with Lua.
Have a look at Lua for Windows. It contains LuaCOM. I haven't tried it myself, though.
As gimpf said, take a look at LuaCOM. You can either get it from its official site, which is the latest version (1.4). Unzip it somewhere and take a look at the folder "Demo", which includes examples for:
ADO
Powerpoint
SAPI (Speech API)
WMI
They are more like test cases than examples but you can get the idea.
You can roll your own system using CInvoke and some custom C/C++ code combined with Lua meta-tables.

From experience though I can't recommend this, it is pretty complicated and requires a lot of effort to get it right and make it bulletproof.
