I have to use Drupal for a project I will be working on.
Do you know any good training resources for Drupal 7?
Also I have good programming knowledge, and know a bit of PHP.
Check out Drupal Dojo, they have video sessions on a lot of subjects including Drupal 7: http://drupaldojo.com/sessions
If you want to dwelve deeper into programming your own modules or creating themes there's a couple of books out there targeting Drupal 7 but I can only recommend Pro Drupal 7 Development ( http://www.drupalbook.com/ ) as it's the only one I've looked at.
To get started site-building and/or developing on Drupal 7 I would check out the dojo as someone said but also check out these resources:
For site-building:
There are all kinds of helpful blog posts on the planet feed - subscribe to: http://drupal.org/planet/rss.xml
Visit http://drupalize.me for many free training videos. I recommend signing up for a membership as it's cheap and very high-value training content
For module development and a better understanding of D7 internals
Check out the book: Drupal 7 Module Development
Go download the Examples For Developers modules as there is a ton of code examples you can use
Visit http://api.drupal.org all the time
Drupal has a high learning curve, if you don't know PHP really well its going to be even steeper. I'd suggest picking up a book on the subject because there just aren't enough good internet resources out there for someone who has no concept of Drupal.
This is my favorite book, I read their D6 book when I knew absolutely nothing about Drupal and I was coding custom modules less than a month later. They have an updated one for D7 already: Pro Drupal 7 Development

all. Anyone have any readings, guides, tutorials, or resources that they particularly recommend for RSS -- especially for going about the task of building an RSS reader?
Seeing as my question landed with a thud, I thought I'd share what I found myself from a little digging, for whoever comes along next.
First off, there are the tutorials offered at http://www.w3schools.com/rss/. The stuff from W3C is always useful, in my experience.
I also offer up this list of books and guides that are either about RSS directly or discuss it at some length:
RSS and Atom in Action: Web 2.0 Building Blocks (Manning)
Java and XML (O'Reilly)
Beginning Java Server Pages (Wrox -- includes a discussion of Java's ROME framework)
Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom (O'Reilly)
You can tell from the above that I was searching specifically for RSS as it relates to Java. But I also found resources about building RSS readers with Python and PHP. Of course there is lots more out there relating to Android, iOS and the like.
I hope the above will be helpful, but if anyone has any further and better resources, how-tos, and guides they recommend, please add them. Thanks!
According to what i have gathered so far,there aren't many resources on rss readers.Apparently readers use polling to track updates.issues of etiquette have emerged in all articles i have come across but none of all articles explains it like this post:
policy for polling rss

I would like to integrate a "virtual blackboard" functionality with my e-learning website. I would like users to be able to participate in "meetings", with the following functionality:
chat (optionaly voice chat/videochat)
virtual blackboard (collaborative drawing)
screensharing (so one of the users can present material like pictures to other users)
ideally Flash or Java applet based (so users wouldn't have to install any additional software - but this is not a requirement, as long as setup wouldn't be too cumbersome)
I guess there are no free solutions, so I'm looking for a paid one. It would be best if users didn't have to set up separate accounts to participate in meetings. Perhaps they could just click on a link with the meeting id.
I googled a little and looked at Adobe Connect Pro. Are there any alternatives that you can recommend?
Checkout BigBlueButton http://www.bigbluebutton.org/
BigBlueButton is an active open source
project that focuses on usability,
modularity, and clean design -- both
for the user and the developer. The
project is hosted at Google Code
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/
It's not hard to create one with only JavaScript. Then the user really doesn't have to install anything, unlike with Flash or Java.
A pretty good tutorial is here, and additionally Ajax: The Definitive Guide has a good tutorial around Ch. 20 ish.
Influxis also has some Flash based meeting software apps and gives you the source code, so that you may extend them, if you are interested in that.

I have learnt most of the main skill points in ASP.NET model, eg how to use a GridView. I would like to find some complete website with source code to analyse/observe, but so far it seems on the internet most learning resources are dealing with a specific topic. Is it possible to find some?
There are lots of open source asp.net websites out there.
See this list from the Microsoft asp.net site, in particular the starter kits and samples section.
I suggest you download and install the free Web Platform Installer from Microsoft. In the tab Web Applications you can find a lot of ready made applications to learn from.
Check out this video: http://www.asp.net/general/videos/build-your-first-asp-net-application-with-asp-net-web-forms
It explains well where to start and how to create "Hello World" type of application.
Don't bother with Web Platform Installer/other advanced starting kits because they are too complex for someone new with the platform.
There seems to be a lack of sample asp.net websites with available source code. Note an open-source website does not mean you can obtain the website. You may have to buy the website to view the open source. However I did find a large number of real-world websites with available source code in Chinese.

Please suggest me some better ecommerce plugins for WordPress sites?
Thanks
Take a look at WP-ecommerce if you're looking for a shopping cart. And Your Member ( www.newmedias.co.uk/wordpress-membership) is ok if you're trying to do content subscription (ie pay x for access to content in the blog)
I can heartily recommend Shopp from Ingenesis Limited if you want a customisable solution. I have used it for 6 sites now, some very customised, and - although I've hit problems as you would with any development work - nothing has been insurmountable. This is mainly because the Shopp page template and Plugin API are so versatile. Support is good, although you have to get your hands dirty and try and work along with the developers to get things working i.e. they usually won't just write a custom Payment gateway or shipping plugin for you!
One drawback is that I can't link you to any of the API docs because they operate a 'buy, try, no quibble money back thing instead' of a trial, and only allow registered users to see all the docs. There is a Feature List here though.
wp e-commerce - free version available, has addons and themes
shopp - paid
