Can anyone recommend a good introductionary book dealing with AutoLisp and VisualLisp? I found some general Lisp books out there, but I'm uncertain how much Lisp variants differ.
I haven't found any in the old questions in here, either.

"The Visual LISP Developers Bible" by David M. Stein for example. It is from 2004, but AutoCAD autolisp/visual-lisp API has not changed during last years.

You can view and download AutoLISP Books at following links:
Autolisp Books

My first AutoLISP book was "The ABCs of AutoLISP" (available at the link Shantaram shared). I really appreciated it. It was short and it was a good primer for me in the early days of my programming efforts. I only mention it to add to your potential bookshelf. David Stein's book is the modern standard.
By the way, I am happy to answer any AutoLISP question you may have. Or you can visit the AutoDesk forums or the AUGI forums or the CADTutor.net forums

I would to know which one choose MarkLogic vs MongoDB, I know its properties but in term of learning which one is more acceptable to choose? I have chosen MarkLogic but I think it's difficult to learn because it has a lot of documentation and it hasn't much comunity developers.
I have to choose one option for project our company and my boss is worried about MarkLogic's curve learning.
Help me which one choose.
Disclosure: I work for MarkLogic.
You mention your concern about learning how to work with MarkLogic. We have a MarkLogic University team that has excellent training resources. Take a look at their Developer Track courses. These courses are free and are available with in-person, via-Internet, or self-paced formats. Once you've learned the basics, you can follow that up with tutorials, the technical blog, On Demand videos, guides, and maybe a local Meetup, based on your needs. Our community may not be as big, but those who work with MarkLogic tend to be very helpful. You can post specific technical questions here on Stack Overflow.
The bigger question is what do you need from your database? For that, I'll join #Tamas in referring to his article comparing the two.

I wan't to get introduced to the fundamental concepts of Category Theory, from a developer's perspective (not a math student), but every single resource I see uses Haskel, Scala, F# or other highly-focused languages that I don't use.
Are there any resources for the rest of us?
MIT has an some course material online for Category Theory for Scientists. There is also a textbook you can download as well.
Pierce's Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists fits your description. It is in no way tied to any particular programming language.
When learning category theory It's good to have examples to work from. If you don't have examples from mathematics, and you don't have examples from specific programming languages, it might be hard to motivate the subject.

I have been trying to follow mgwt and gwt-phonegap through code.google.com. It feels like a pain for me, because I can't find something properly described there for a beginner to follow.
Can any one plz suggest me a good tutorial site or examples for mgwt/gwtphonegap?
if you have questions on how to get started the mgwt user group ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/mgwt ) is a very good place to ask questions and there have been already a tremendous amount of questions about it on the group.
We are very friendly (especially to inexperienced users)
Check out the wiki:

Check out the blog:

Also there are a couple of videos out there:

We did not document the basics of GWT MVP. This is done very nicely in the GWT docs.

Can you recommend any book or other resources for learning Zend Framework for absolute beginngers with moderate PHP skills.
Thanks.
For me, the three definitive ZF Getting Started tutorials are:
Quick Start from Zend
Album tutorial from Rob Allen
Surviving the Deep End from Padraic Brady
Two additional applications which I have found helpful, though a little more advanced, are:
Dasprid's blog (src), from Ben Scholzen
PHPPlaneta, from Robert Basic
Learned a lot from all of them.
And, of course:
ZendCasts
In the end, Rob Allen's answer says it all.
Survive The Deep End is a good resource to start with a concrete project.
I just started 4 days ago to use Zend Framework together with Doctrine ORM.
To be honest it's very complicated to get started with it. I used the zend documentation,
http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/ for example the quick start guide.
There is an irc channel on freenode #zftalk#irc.freenode.net
In addition I googled a lot, there are some good answers here on stack overflow.
Sometimes it is good to search for "[what you wanna do] tutorial" this way you get quicker solutions, because the manual often does not give you the general overview, it just explains one or some components.
You can reffere below link for detail study of how zend frameworks basics work.

Where can I find some open source implementations of the Boids algorithm, for the iOs? [closed]

The question says it all: I'm looking for working, open source, implementations of algorithms (or derivatives there of) initially described in the Boids paper.
It looks like most of the code out there was written before "Open Source" really meant anything. I asked Mr Google:
Craig Reynolds's Boids page has a bunch of links for various languages and some mostly-original Lisp. Embedding a Lisp interpreter should not be that hard.
Christopher Kline, C++, Not-For-Profit. Licence terms for commercial apps negotiable with the author.
Tom Bak, Thong Chau, Visual C++/OpenGL/GLUT, no licence. You could try contacting them.
Robert Platt, VC++/D3D, no licence. You could try contacting him too.
You're unlikely to find anything specifically "for the iOS" (or even written in Objective-C), but C and C++ versions should be easy to port. .NET versions should be easy enough to run using MonoTouch.
This might help: Chapter from Killer game programming in Java about Flocking Boids
