I'm new to the VxWorks Environment are there any good sources of information out there?
2 Books helped me:
Real-Time Concepts for Embedded Systems ISBN-10: 1578201241 ISBN-13: 978-1578201242
(Basic RT concepts, Common Patterns)
Tornado and VxWorks: What's not in the Manual ISBN-10: 3833410698 ISBN-13: 978-3833410697
If your budget allows it, I would recommend taking one of the courses offered by WindRiver. My company brought in one of their trainers to teach a class on-site and it was excellent. They provided hands-on programming activities and a lot of information. If you are new to the concepts of real-time or embedded programming, they provided the necessary background information, and even if you were already familiar with these (as I was), there was plenty of useful training specific to VxWorks and Workbench. I believe they also organize their own courses, in addition to coming to companies. Course Schedule

Can someone let me know the pros and cons or using Jira and/or Google docs for Agile sprints?
We are team of 8 developers and planning to switch to either Jira or google docs.
We currently use white board for sprint stories....
Thanks
To be honest it would be like comparing one of the old cellphones to the new smartphone- it's true you could use both to make a call, but on a smartphone you could do so much more.. the list of Jira's pros is long, and i don't think that the Google docs have any major pros over Jira, except it's free.
You can try jira for free to evaluate it, just get it from http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/overview.
If you are using it for agile planing, be aware that Jira itself is lacking many of the agile dearly needed properties, but they offer an expansion called green-hopper which add a lot of power and help with the agile management.

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:

I am looking to buy a good book on data visualisation and would love to here your recommendations. My background is mathematical and I am currently working on a data analysis tool for my employer. The two books that have intrigued me so far are
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Tufte
Interactive Data Visualization: Foundations, Techniques, and Applications by Ward
I'm more interested in algorithms and efficient ways to analyse the data. I'd like a book that could explain how to make graphs similar to the ones on this website.
http://www.randelshofer.ch/treeviz/
The list post suggested by #gary comtois is great, but if you are looking for algorithms I would suggest looking at:
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514556
It assumes programming knowledge but isn't the most challenging of books. However it covers plotting graphs, treemaps and other things.
The bibliography is also quite good.
Hope it helps.

I am interested in writing a small automatic trader for the forex market. I would like to chose my own tools (platform and programming language) and I just need to find a decent API to query the numbers and that accepts requests for trading actions.
I guess the ideal would be some web service with a XML API, or similar.
Any ideas?
Check out the InteractiveBrokers API or the Cunningham T4 API. Both are really good, although I'm not exactly sure T4 allows forex trading.
MT4 is the industry standard. It allows simple interface through .dll files and has an extensive support base.

Interested in some opinions on whether SQL is becoming obsolete. At my place of work, ORMs (in particular, Doctrine) are growing more popular for our web dev projects, and early indications seem to be suggesting that it's capable of doing pretty much everything we need for these small to medium sized apps (haven't yet had any major reporting requirements though). Is this the future of data modelling for web dev projects? (Apologies in advance if this is not the forum for this type of question).
SQL is not obsolete nor is it becoming so. There are plenty of programmatic interfaces that make it less of a requirement to learn it in the early stages of application development, but nothing replaces good knowledge about it.
It is also interesting to note that several NoSQL backends support a subset of SQL as an interface to them. It will be a long time before it goes away.
