Does anyone know any good (and recent) resources for designing expert systems?
As far as I know, there is not much recent development in expert systems. This book is a classic (last edition is from 2004).
we are taking an Expert systems course in our college and we are using this book :
Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems
and using Clips Language for programming expert systems
the book is pretty Good and discussing Modern topics ( see the latest version )
and it introduces well the parts related to fuzzy logic and neural networks which is related to ExpertSystems .
i recommend starting exploration from the internet and the book for some time
then start knowing the science from the book and implement using the CLIPS language
Clips tutorials

I am a PHP developer, and now I want to learn C for a couple of reasons.
I lack knowledge in Java, as well as data structures and algorithms.
PHP is written in C.
The most important thing is the first reason. I don't want to get deep into C, but at least I could understand what C programs are doing. Does anyone have any good idea how I should proceed? Thanks!
That's probably the wrong approach. First learn the basic theory behind programming which is algorithms and datastructures. These are language neutral.
Than try to learn a language and its syntax to write your algorithms. To answer your question, a good book for C is C in a Nutshell but it DOES NOT teach you the basics of programming.
And then there is still the book The C Programming Language by Kernighan&Ritchie, who invented C.

see ,
still yet i have seen that most of the embedded application are written in c.
Most of the libraries are written in c.
Device-driver are written in c.
So i want to ask you is there any logical reason behind this?
(My apologies if this post sounds silly/stupid. I thought I'd ask here. Ignoring these core bits never made anyone a better programmer.)
There are many reasons, including but not limited to:
It has access to many low level functions not accessible from many other languages.
It has existed for many many years and has lots of developers that are familiar with it.
If written well it's extremely efficient.
It gives almost complete control over memory etc.
It's very portable, largely due to the myriad of compilers written for it.
Because of Dennis Ritchie. C is easily the most portable language.

Which books are really MUST read for a person who attempts to create a critical parts of application(s) in security field, e.g. driver which are dealing with coding/decoding, firewall, kernel subsystem which rely on checking of rights/policies, a secure mail client, etc.
Are there any specific books covering applied C programming topics in field like this? Like how to design/write secure code, what are the common attacks your program must be resistant to and the like?
In my opinion, these are must-reads:
Cryptography in C and C++ - http://www.amazon.com/Cryptography-C-Michael-Welschenbach/dp/1590595025/
Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++: Recipes for Cryptography, Authentication, Input Validation & More - http://www.amazon.com/Secure-Programming-Cookbook-Cryptography-Authentication/dp/0596003943/
Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles and Practical Applications - http://www.amazon.com/Cryptography-Engineering-Principles-Practical-Applications/dp/0470474246/
Security Metrics: Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt - http://www.amazon.com/Security-Metrics-Replacing-Uncertainty-Doubt/dp/0321349989/
Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems - http://www.amazon.com/Security-Engineering-Building-Dependable-Distributed/dp/0470068523/ (High-level, management issues, etc.)
The following book deserves honorable mention, although many experts repudiate it these days. However, some say it is the best book on the subject, so judge for yourself:
Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition - http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Cryptography-Protocols-Algorithms-Source/dp/0471117099/

I am interested in learning the basics on machine learning and am wondering what the best ONLINE resources are. Keep in mind i am a total novice and know very little about the subject.
The lecture series at Stanford on machine learning is really good. I would recommend that you start there.
There are also some good books that are available online:
The Elements of Statistical Learning
Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms
You could check the Peter Norvig's web site.
http://norvig.com/
However, texts such as those of Russel and Norvig or Alpaydin would keep you better focused.
Good luck!
See my answer to a similar question here. In short, if you are looking for practitioner's knowledge, such as when and how to apply things like Neural Networks and Bayesian filtering, there are links to several useful books there. Understanding the theory requires math, the link has several book recommendations to direct toward what and how, and you should be prepared to spend some time reading research papers.

I need to introduce basic design principles in my team. I am looking for books which are not restricted to only object oriented design principles. And which can cover concepts such as Modularity, Information hiding etc.
Just for information - The implementation language for all the project in our team is C.
These books seem to be in the vicinity of what you are asking about:
Code Complete
The Practice of Programming
The Pragmatic Programmer
If you're building on a Unix environment, I'd really recommend The Art of Unix Programming by Eric S Raymond.
The book
Object Thinking by David West is pretty good.
