This is a bit of a silly question, but please bear with me. ;)
I just got the Code::Blocks IDE and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. However, since the : character isn't allowed in Windows folder names, I'm unsure of what to call the folder I keep all my projects in. (I name each folder after its IDE.)
Should it be written as "Code Blocks," "CodeBlocks," or something else...?

Let's see what the people who are affiliated with the project calls it.
The official name is spelled "Code::Blocks".
In the filenames in the Download section it's spelled "codeblocks".
In the page title of the Wiki it's spelled "CodeBlocks"
If you remove the "illegal" characters from the official names you get "CodeBlocks".
However, the :: indicates that they think something should separate "Code" and "Blocks".
According to this, and considering proper grammar, I think you should call it "Code Blocks". Alternatively "Code Blocks IDE".

I am looking for languages / libraries which allows searching over AST for given language using selectors (ie. "/function(int, int)" to find all functions with given signature or "namespace(name=xxx)/method(name=yyy*)" to find all methods starting with yyy in given namespace).
I know there is always possibility to convert AST to XML and use XPath / XQuery, but i'am looking for something built in or easily integrable with a language.
This is practical :https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/
as well as the gcc plugin dehydra : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Dehydra
LLVM has a bunch of projects : http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/
This is theoretical: http://www.complang.org/colm/ but could be interesting.

My focus when I was playing with things like this originally was specifically Java-oriented, also using the Eclipse AST tools. This isn't language-agnostic, and most of the tools I'm aware of aren't either.
It does, however, include some links to projects (I've only played with two of them, and not for quite some time) that may give you ideas, although it's not clear to me what kind of information you want from an answer. ASTs themselves are tied tightly to implementations.

As a programming novice, I often run into trouble when trying to install packages, use virtualenv, and basically do anything even mildly complex using the command line.
What are some good references out there to help me UNDERSTAND things like my path, environment, shell scripts, etc?
Basically, I'm tired of copying and pasting. I want to really understand what's going on.
Thanks!
I used Linux in a Nutshell by O'Reilly. It helps you get past the initial beginners stage. Obviously there are a ton more links and tutorials, lists of keystrokes online, easily found with a Google search, but this will help you get going, and nice to read when you are on the bus or at lunch or whatever, to give you some ideas you might not just happen on in normal everyday life.

With ExpressionEngine, do you ever edit code with an editor or is it all within EE? [closed]

Just a quick question, I'm getting the idea that you don't. Why is this, and is there a way to? And why would you?
I never code within the browser. The only reason to code in the EE CP would be if you're editing a snippet or global variable, and even then there are addons that will move those to flat files.
Take a look at this user guide on how to save templates as flat files: http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/templates/templates_as_files.html Saving templates as files will also allow you to better version your template code with your VCS of choice.
When moving to a production environment you may want to consider syncing your template files to the database - as that may speed things up a tiny bit.

I know there is some vim plugins that implements TextMate-like snippets feature. The popular are: snipMate, snippetsEmu, neocomplcache, UltiSnips and xptemplate.
What is the best and why? Consider using this with others plugins like SuperTab, AutoComplPop and pathogen. Have you ever tried those plugins? What do you prefer?
As with many things, you'll find that personal preference wins out at the end of the day. Personally, I prefer snippentsEmu for one reason: it supports dynamic snippets. For example a Python formatting string "foo %s %s" will (can) dynamically add a placeholder for each %s.
snippetsEmu is certainly not perfect - I have come across a few bugs and annoyances - but it works well with superTab. I honestly don't have much experience with the other plug-ins mentioned (although I believe I've tried them all), so I can't really give a fair comparison.

I have been looking and reading for an hour and i havent found a good tutorial for SubSonic. Do any of you have a recommendation?
I am looking for a quick command line or winform tutorial (not a asp.net tutorial) to take in a class and create the table, insert a few elements and query them again. I'll get to the advance things later (joins, etc. Or try to use linq?). I cant seem to find anything to tell me the namespace and object to do a query or insert. sure i see var repo=new SimpleRepository(SimpleRepositoryOptions.RunMigrations); but i am unsure what to do with it.
The type of app shouldn't matter really - have you tried the screencasts/writeups at http://subsonicproject.com/docs? I really tried to put together as much as I could for people to get rolling.
Google for repository pattern.
Basically - that's a class that abstracts persistence (simple CRUD functionality).
learnsubsonic site might help too.
When i checked out subsonic - introduction videos worked great for me. Try them.
