I want to create a vBulletin custom plug-in but I am new in vBulletin i don't know about the vBulletin. I have tried to download the plug-ins but only commercial user will download the plug-in.
There is no specific tutorial that you can follow to create a specific product, however there is a good tutorial from vBulletin which gives you a good idea on how to create a vBulletin 'product' that can be downloaded and installed by others.
But basically to create a product you need to learn some basics and you have to know, php, html, css, and have a understanding of how vBulletin works. Then take it and put it all together.
To get a good understanding, I would recommend modifying other people's add-ons to suit your needs. That's how I was able to get a good understanding of how vBulletin works and then all you have to do as you progress, is to ask the right questions.
The recommendations bellow are also supported by well know vBulletin coders.

Do you know any software or tools that can be used to detect when people are stealing content from our website?
Today we are only able the do something about the duplicate content, when we find it manually. There must be some kind of tool or service to use, to detect stolen content?
I'm a part of the project called whocopied.me where you can insert a little javascript snippet and you have a dashboard that helps you with an overview.
We created a little introduction to show it in action

If you are using Wordpress, we created a simple plugin for you to install - no requirement of understanding HTML :-)

As a Joomla (novice) developer, I'm concerned about why we really need modules to create our own forms. I'm definitely not an authority on the subject when it comes to Joomla but here's my issue.
I understand (through hands-on discovery) that we can create forms using two ways (without additional custom modules).
By writing the form content straight in the index.php page, then checking for submit using PHP.
By inserting the HTML content for the form as a CustomHTML article using the admin back-end. Then have a separate PHP page to do the processing and return back to a specific landing page.
First I'm not sure if the above methods are considered sane in the joomla world but I do think they're workable.
If so, why do we need to run through rough seas trying to download and install form-builder plug-ins and write code that looks pretty absurd with so many files.
The first solution you mentioned is the worst that could be done. Editing the index.php should never be done. If an update for the template is bought out and you install it, it will override your changes.
The second point you mentioned is also a bad idea. There is no point in using separate PHP pages if you're using the Joomla CMS.
Stick to Joomla standards and create a custom module (not custom HTML module) either by coding it yourself or getting started with a Module Generator.
The whole point of using a CMS is to make life easier. A Joomla site is built of of Components, Modules and Plugins.
Components are like applications such as a Forum, e-commerce system etc. Modules are like widgets such as a twitter feed, shoutbox etc.
Plugins change the behavior of something.
why do we need to run through rough seas trying to download and
install form-builder plug-in?
Trying to download and install a form builder is not difficult at all. Simple go to the Joomla Extensions Directory, go the the necessary category, click on an extension that suits your needs, download and install it and voilà.
I am developing a grails app and was wondering if there is any grails plugin available to create online manuals in both HTML and PDF version, something like:
Spring's reference docs which is hosted in both html and pdf versions.
Yahoo! PlaceFinder webservice guide
If there is not one available, can you please advise me on the tools that can be used to accomplish this.
The documentation is to be used by general public.
The Grails documentation itself, and some Grails plugins uses GDoc for creating documentation in both html and pdf. Something worth taking a look at?
There is work in progress for new Groovy documentation using this infrastructure, see https://github.com/pledbrook/groovy-guide, you might take a look at build.gradle there to get started.
I want to use blog plugin in zend framework 1.11.7. So please give me the full path from where I can download plugin and all the steps to implement in site.
No, there isn't.
There are, however, plenty of tutorials to help you get started with building one. http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/
I use Codesmith to create our code generation templates and have had success in learning how to use the tool by looking at example templates and the built in documentation. However I was wondering if there are any other resources (books, articles, tutorials, etc.) for getting a better grasp of Codesmith?
Have you checked the codesmith community site
We also have a great new collection of video tutorials available. You may want to check those out as well.
There is also a Google Code Codesmith section where you can download the latest updates of some CSLA, nHibernate and Plinqo templates.
Here is an interesting tutorial for building a data access layer using CodeSmith.
Depending on the templates you are using, we might have a separate website with tons of useful information like nettiers.com and plinqo.com. Also check out the help section on our community site.
We have also recently created a new WIKI (http://docs.codesmithtools.com) for all of our documentation.
Thanks
