Video lectures for that manual can be found here
EDIT:
GISTUTOR.COM site offers well-made tutorial "step by step" with
the information how to perform ...

You have your shape files, which the web browsers cannot read if you put them on a server somewhere. A user could download them and view them in an application but that's not what you want.
So this is where GeoServer, MapServer, OpenLayers, PostGIS come into play.
You would use PostGIS to store the data in your shape file as it's a spatial database.

Ensure you have ArcTutor installed (comes with ArcGIS Desktop install)
Start doing the tutorials.
Id also advise paying a trip to the ESRI Virtual Campus.
- Plenty of free training on there to get you started.
Go to video.esri.com for inspiration.

I have it working on Ubuntu 10.04/10.10 and 11.04. My first tutorial was this
http://linfiniti.com/2010/08/qgis-mapserver-a-wms-server-for-the-masses/
but under Ubuntu (with all installed from repos) is even easier.
Enter the cgi-bin folder, create a project folder, copy in there the project file and a copy of qgis_mapserv.fcgi, then add a metadata file.

I'd suggest starting from http://www.w3.org/Mobile/posdep/GMLIntroduction.html.
If you're planning to work with application schemes in INSPIRE, you'll also need a thorough understanding of XML and XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations).
I think the task doesn't require in-depth understanding of UML. You'll have to be able to read it. Anyway, ...

Lee and Evangelista (2006) have a good article on earthquake-induced landslide-susceptibility mapping using an artiļ¬cial neural network. They appear to do their GIS analysis in ArcGIS and implement a ANN algorithm in Matlab.
Spatial Data Modeler (SDM) is available as a collection of geoprocessing tools for ArcGIS (earlier Arc 9.x version here). The author ...

Definely you should take a look at the very good documentation from Postgis. Start with the 1.5 version for vector stuff and general GIS questions.

Understanding your data (projection, attributes, formats) then you can using ArcGIS in some quite amazing ways..
General Usage :
For a good basis of understanding a geodatabase.

what i have understood from your que. is how can you spatialize your data? if you dont have any road map you can read Spatializing your Data with PostGIS, GeoDjango & OpenLayers
the tutorial contents contain following information which take from its web side:
This tutorial covers some of the most common Open Source GIS
technologies available today ...

QGIS is a project in constant development, so your specific request for the lisboa version might be difficult to meet.
Try the QGIS wiki on the Quantum GIS web pages. They hold a lot of examples. Admittedly some of them could use brushing up to be more up to date. Partial tutorials are available at spatialthoughts.com.
For offline browsing or download ...

As you've already discovered UbuntuGIS is not a GIS itself but a repository of GIS and related software. I suggest you try installing QGIS (from UbuntuGIS or qgis.org) and having a look at the How do I do that in QGIS page.

Although it is a 'quickstart' and may not qualify as more complex information, I found this quite thorough and useful, it uses the geoserver installation on the osgeolive image/bootable disk. I use the virtual machine with the free VMware Player:

You are not adding a layer to the map which is why you only see the logo and a white map.
Try for example adding the world street map:
var map = new esri.Map("mapDiv");
var dynamicMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");

QGis was my introduction to all of this, and I got my self started with the material on the QGis site - http://www.qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html
The development of the software in recent months has left quite a lot of the third-party tutorial material behind but the changes have all been added features rather than a radical re-design so working ...

The online help, for ArcGIS 10
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html?TopicName=welcome
will provide better help than has been provided before, but as Bill suggests, the fundamental concepts exist in Tomlin's book and haven't been altered significantly. The book's principles are also applicable to any GIS package that works with raster ...

First of all, I would suggests, to start from help of Arcgis. You will find a lot of examples and tutorials.
For videos you can find some in youtube channel of esri and more in other channels:

Not sure there are many projects out there that use it other than MapWindow - who are also the creators of DotSpatial.
If you look at the source for the GDALHelper class, you can see exactly why errors are thrown:
var driverPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
if (driverPath == null) throw new GdalException("Cannot get ...

I think if your are proficient in Python, you can manage the rpy2 part (there are examples here), but you need more a book on spatial statistics in R. That would probably be Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R. Section 8.5 is about spatial predictions. The book is available online through library subscription, but the code from the chapter is freely ...
