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.

I have big project (not mine) in java EE , at first when I looked at it there were many many classes, when I try to understand a method of class there is another class which calls method in it and again and again, It's really hard to understand the code (there is no documentation) is there any tool to help me ?
Unfortunately there aren't really any tools to help with this, the most that you can hope is that someone created a UML Doc for the code you're viewing. However, as this is not the case, the best place to start is at the main method and slowly traverse the setup. I find that it helps to keep notes and diagrams, describing (functionally) what things do and in what order they happen.

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!

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.

I'm looking for a high level overview of how one goes from an AST to working code via the DLR, does anyone have (a link for) something like that?
Here is a good 3 part tutorial about building a basic language from the parsing to the actual tree construction to the dlr mapping.
http://www.bitwisemag.com/2/DLR-Build-Your-Own-Language
All the current DLR specs and documents are located here:
http://dlr.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Docs%20and%20specs&referringTitle=Documentation
This tutorial is the one that I used to learn the DLR:
http://www.dotnetguru.org/us/dlrus/DLR2.htm
It builds a custom version of javascript on the DLR.
And if all else fails you can look here:
http://myjscript.codeplex.com/sourcecontrol/changeset/view/8678?projectName=MyJScript#109043
to see the actual parser implementation, though I would probably recommend using Antlr as your parser. That's what I use, though I've got a fair bit of Antlr experience:)
Here is a link that maybe helps: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/codegen/astdlrtest.aspx
