I would be very grateful if anyone can give a hint on this:

I need to change the workflow state of all node of a certain type at a date given by a user. Think of something like a "publishing date" of a magazine number in wich several nodes "go live".

I would prefer not to program a custom action, because I know almost nothing about PHP (I would do it if there were no alternative). Should I look further into Triggers or Rules? Is there any other alternative?

Rules seems like a more reasonable solution in this case, but it's going to be tricky any way you cut it given what you need to do. (It may be easiest to just train your users in how to use scheduled state transitions and let a human sort it out.) Since it's been over a year since you made the request, I'm going to assume you worked something out.
