I've been trying to find a good tutorial on how to program randomized tile generation (2D). However it seems that i cannot find any proper tutorials on that.
Is there any books and/or websites with proper tutorials on how to program it and the math behind it?
I know this is not a programming question per se however it is programming related, so hopefully someone can help me out with a link or two.
A good introduction to random terrains
Very basic 2D terrain tutorial
And .this one i found a little more confusing, but it has a lot
of example code.
But remember if you use other people's code give them credit :) hope these help.

I'm looking for a very concise guide to using rails. I've done lots of work with other similar frameworks like Django so I just need a very short tutorial. Does anything like that exist?
Thanks!
This is best guide for those who are new to rails..
http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book
If you're willing to put up with a few quick video tutorials, Rails for Zombies by EnvyLabs (railsforzombies.org) gives a good overview of the framework.
If you decide to check it out, know this: at the time of this writing, there's one error in the tutorials. The code they show you for writing a basic redirect is missing a prepended slash on the URI. (At least, according to the interpreter they use for the accompanying exercises, it's incorrect.)
Other than that small gripe, in my opinion it's a great way to onboard yourself and colleagues in Rails, before drilling down into the gritty details.

I wonder if anyone can point me towards a good online tutorial for Entity Framework (code first and database first). I'm interested in learning the theory as I've been using EF for some time now but realise I don't know all the ins and outs.
In my opinion the best ones are Pluralsight videos on Entity Framework. You ought to take a look at them. They are not free though.Hope it helps
This (http://entityframeworktutorial.net/default.aspx) covers the basics fairly well, but my suggestion would be to go the dead tree route and grab a copy of Julia Lerman's 'Programming Entity Framework (2nd ed)'

Is there a guide / book about custom control development for iOS? All the books I've found don't go beyond using UIKit builtin controls.
As #petert wrote, Cocoa Controls is a great resource, but my favourite is by far iDev Recipes (even though it's not updating that often anymore). Check also http://maniacdev.com/, many open source libraries/projects can be found and it gets updated regularly. Ray Wenderlich has also many nice tutorials - scroll down to "Graphics and Animation".
EDIT: I just saw that #Jano suggests idevrecipes as well, sorry for doulbe posting

What are the Best Ruby Screencasts/videos to really understand ruby? Which ones would you recommend?
PeepCode
Teach Me To Code
Railscasts
RubyPulse
Ruby Tapas
GoRails
Railscasts is probably one of the best around, and Ryan actively updates it weekly. Gregg Pollack also did a few. There's also a ton of Ruby related screen casts floating around the internet, whether they're taken from conference talks or self built on youtube.
I recommend Lynda videos, i really liked them and the guy is very instructive.

I am look for some Structure map Tutorials.
Does anyone know of any?
EDIT: All answers are appreciated but I was looking for something that is not on the first 2 pages of Google. I would have the sense to do that first.
Read http://structuremap.sourceforge.net/QuickStart.htm.
And from there you can find info of plenty of different usages.
Update 1: I had been using structuremap, and the info in there was just enough to get it going. Also note that I am biased for text formats, although I do listen/watch other formats from time to time. That said, here are some extra info on it that I have read/watched:
This web cast of the http://wekeroad.com/2008/06/03/mvcstore-part-13/ (as I watched the whole series) - this one got me into looking at structuremap
