I'm completely new to Modelica and was wondering what is the best way to learn on my own? Also I will be using it with MapleSim 5 (or 6 when it will be available) so any information regarding that would be helpful too.
I'll need Modelica to create a few components for a thermal model, then simulate with MapleSim and hopefully I will also manage to co-simulate with another software (EnergPlus) using FMI when it will be available for MapleSim and BCVTB.
Sorry for not being specific with my question, really any reference to a good Modelica guide would be great, thanks.
Clearly, I am biased, but I like to think that my book "Introduction to Physical Modeling with Modelica" is a great way to explore the features of Modelica in the context of engineering problems. I noticed that Wolfram seems to recommend the book as well.
But in the interest of balance, there are two books by Peter Fritzson on the topic of Modelica as well.

I would like to know what would be the best programming languages to develop an open source that can work on mainly windows and mac.
any person should be able to change the source code if he/she wanted to without the need to recompile it. this is to allow further development and bug fixing.
The application does not require a massive computational resources and it would have a GUI.
what would you recommend?
the only thing i have in mind is to do the application using matLab. any other choice?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Python. There are many IDEs available, and the code is extremely readable. The community also maintains excellent documentation. I would advise against using Matlab to develop Open Source Software because Matlab itself is not an open source program. Maybe since you are talking about something mathematical, an open source alternative could be Octave? But I don’t really know what you mean by an application. Hope anything I suggested helped.

I need to write an essay on multi-core processing, are there any good books for recommendation? thanks! :)
Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, 5th Edition by John L. Hennessy & David A. Patterson or Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach 4th Edition
covers things at a high level, and might be in a library nearby.
Also Computer Organization and Design, Revised Fourth Edition, Fourth Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface by the same authors.
But Wikipedia Multi-core processor would get you started with lots of references.
Multicore Processors – A Necessity looked like a relatively straightforward starting point.

I am looking to visualize ontologies for understanding and making others understand. I would prefer to have top-down hierarchy of classes. I have used OntoGraph which comes with Protégé, but I am not happy with the figure :(. I have also used Microsoft Visio and stencils available for Ontology, but that too has not impressed me.
Through this question I would like to know which is the best tool for visualizing an ontology for general purpose, and/or for specific purpose (like writing an academic paper).
Thanks.

I do not have complete answer for your specific problem, but you may try to review the Mike Bergman's list of tools (for ontology visualization).
Note, RDF is a graph, so you may be able to use any graph-visualization software. "Only" need to map RDF to tool-specific model.
While not an ontology specific tool, thejit is a very nice javascript visualization toolkit. I've used it in the past for custom semweb-related visualizations. You won't get much out of the box support but if you don't mind putting in some coding time, you can get some nice looking graphs.
I can highly recommend you to utilize the graphical editor of TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition. The graphics are not the most beautiful ones. However, it's interactive ;-)

I want to study catalyst MVC freamwork for perl but I don't have any idea about
catalyst or MVC freamwork so. from where I have to start..?? can you suggest me a book for that related topics which best.
The Catalyst::Manual distribution contains complete and thorough documentation for Catalyst, including a lengthy tutorial and a cookbook.
The Definitive Guide to Catalyst is an extremely good book, and covers Model-View-Controller design quite well. The official Tutorial is also very worthwhile for coming to grips with Catalyst.

I'm working through Practical Common Lisp presently
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
It's an excellent book with some practical assignments towards the end, but I'm looking for basic problems that explore the use of functions, variables and macros. Can anybody suggest a suitable resource to work through in order to reinforce the concepts presented?
Project Euler is a great source of programming problems
also, there is Rosetta Code
You may also want to try the SICP exercises in Common Lisp.
There are great exercises in ANSI Common Lisp the book, http://www.paulgraham.com/acl.html, for each chapter. Great book too, my favorite to learn Lisp with and as a reference.
