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
The current Jamie Thomson blog is located here, where he continues to write about ETL stuff:

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.

First off, please forgive me if this has been answered before. I did do a search before posting but the results that came back were not really satisfying. This is question is a "last resort" type of thing, to point us to the right direction, if at all possible.
My team and I have been looking for a good test case management tool. So far we have been using Zephyr, but we find it to be quite bloated and a tad complicated for what we believe we need.
What we need the tool with the following features.
Integration with Jira
Good reporting capabilities (much like Zephyr).
Support for agile teams.
Support for multiple projects over multiple iterations.
Nice, clean and intuitive interface
Some things to consider:
We have rejected Jira as a test management tool because we feel handling multiple projects with it would be a real pain
We have also rejected Zephyr for Jira, pretty much for the same reasons, and because of our current experience with Zephyr.
Would it possible for you to recommend any tool that satisfies the above features?
Thank you in advance!
Why don't you take a look at PractiTest?
I am biased because I work for them, but on the other hand the system provides all the things you mentioned above that you are looking for (simple to use, good integration with Jira, supports Agile teams, etc) and some additional features and things that make the life of the average tester easier and overall better.
You can sign up to one of the public demos that run once or twice a week from the site. And after the demo you can choose to work with PractiTest for free for a couple of weeks as part of the 2-week free evaluation license.
As you said, testing and test management should not be complex and over-bloated...

Try APTEST (product of Atlassian). With APTEST integration with JIRA is made simpler. It connect tests and test results to issues in JIRA. For more details check the following link APTEST - JIRA Integration

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.

I know the community around Progress 4GL is highly lacking in activity, but the people on SO are a surprisingly resourceful bunch of guys!
I'm looking for a tool that is capable of creating a dependency tree for classes, include files, and other structures in Progress 4GL. Ideally it would have a command line interface so that it can be integrated into an automated build.
I would like to avoid rolling my own if I can help it. We have a 4Mloc code base, so a manually-generated dependency graph just won't work out very well. Is there any hope?
Thanks!
There is a very active community, but you need to know where to look. :)
See http://www.joanju.com/ for several tools which might be useful.
BravePoint might have some resources, but probably not free.
Also http://www.oehive.org/
I believe the free 10-year-old app below will do some of what you require, but was written for legacy Progress versions (ie. it will only recognize direct old-fashioned RUNs and includes, I think). As for rolling your own, or getting a start, it was written in c++ and the author may still have the source code if you email him...
Here's the link to the app
The Progress community can be found at various places in addition to the above (eg. Peg.com, ProgressTalk.com, PSDN.com, etc.), is relatively minute, but is hardly inactive.
My xref->TT tool can take apart xref strings from the COMPILE XREF statement and turns it into a set of temp-tables. You could then take that the temp-tables and use them to populate a database, after which I'm sure you'll post your code back to the community so others can take advantage of it. :)
I stopped working on it around ~2008, so it pre-dates the OOABL structures.
See http://communities.progress.com/pcom/docs/DOC-16588

What tool for managing Oracle DB do you suggest? I need to execute scripts and manage data in tables and develop some scripts and packages. I'v tried SQL developer and actually don't like it. Want some more features for developing (debug, code assist, integrated help and so on.)
Surprising i haven't seen a message about Toad for Oracle. Its the best I've worked with so far.
http://www.toadsoft.com/toad_oracle.htm
I just found out about this today and it looks impressive: http://www.dbvis.com/
I've never used this before but have you looked at http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/ (although it doesn't seem as full featured as SQL Developer)
Feature wise, I would use Toad or SQL Navigator. Although I think for the little they are offering they are horrible expensive.
I've been using PL/SQL Developer from Allround Automations for the last several years. Very solid. Toad is great if your budget can afford it.
Back in my Oracle days, I always liked to use the Benthic Software Golden Tools - extremely lightweight, useful, intuitive to use, inexpensive to license - great stuff all around!
Benthic also offer a PLEdit tool to edit PL/SQL code, and a GoldLoad tool to batch load large amounts of data into Oracle.
Well, you should take a look at Devart's OraDeveloper Studio. It is a powerful development environment for working with Oracle, that provides an easier way to develop SQL scripts and PL/SQL program units, create and execute queries, manage users and privileges, explore existing databases, modify schema objects, export and import data, create database projects, and more.
