I created a webpage with html5/css and some javascript (jquery). Now i want to extend my page with some functionality (server side ways), but i dont want to use php. I searched for an alternative and found node.js, now i want to use it.
But honestly i dont unterstand how it works (in the context to extend my page, i do unterstand javascript). I began to read some tutorials, but they always start explaining stuff to build a website with node.js (from scratch), but i want to extend my already existing site with some functionality (forum, maybe cms) and dont want to build the page from scratch.
I ordered some days ago a book about node.js, but i'm curious, sry for that.
I'd very appreciate if you could help me. I'm also grateful for some links, etc. :)
Cheers,
Sven
The thing about node.js is it's used to write servers. What this means is that you have to handle receiving requests from browsers and sending responses back for every. single. page. This is why tutorials on node.js start from scratch, because you can't just add node.js on to a webpage (like you can with php). node.js is like the backbone of your website, not some server side augmentation.

I have just started out doing web development projects for clients and I have done two so far using NextJS, NuxtJS along with headless WordPress for the CMS. As I also have a full time job these projects take a fair amount of time and I end up working constantly.
I have recently come across Webflow and have messed around with it to see how it works. It seems like if I used Webflow and the CMS is provides I could get through projects much quicker than I would currently.
Do you think that for freelancing using a tool like Webflow is a better idea than what I am currently doing?
I currently use Webflow for client projects and I use Next.js at work. I would highly recommend using Webflow for the following reasons on most web dev client projects.
Speed of customization (You can create components in Webflow and copy and past them into new projects, which allows you to reuse standard parts in seconds)
CMS already integrated.
Ability to easily give clients access to edit their own content if they need
Easily edit SEO settings
Easily connect other tools like Zapier and Memberstack if you need

I have recently built a website based on WordPress. I got a free theme from a source in Pakistan.
I have to use this theme because it perfectly serves my purpose. But I want to know that if this theme is quietly establishing a connection with another server and sending my data.
How can I detect that my website is internally sending some codes to the server of developer of theme? Also, I need to know what servers are being communicated with — like, if any image is getting loaded from their server, any code is imported from their server, or anything else is being fetched from their server to run.
Since you have the source code, then you can simply look what this theme does - basically theme should only be HTML and CSS (or mostly it). If there is too much suspicious PHP of Javascript I wouldn't use it.
If you want to see if it connects to some outside sources, run it in your controlled environment and use some network sniffing tool like Wireshark for example.
Generally speaking - if you don't trust the source where you got your theme and you are not good enough in programming to check for malicious code yourselves, don't use it!
I would recommend downloading some of themes provided directly by wordpress.org - those should be safe.

I'm totally confused about what kind of applications can I write If I learn how to use Enginio. This is what the Enginio site says:
With Enginio, you can create stunning Qt applications, add a scalable
and powerful Qt cloud backend as a service in no time and deploy in
minutes without ever bothering about backend servers or scalability
problems.
Can I think of Enginio as a remote QFile or is it much more bigger? Can someone name some samples written with Qt + Enginio.
It looks like this is a new service still in development, hence there isn't a tag for it, yet.
From the website, it looks like they provide you with some of the common things all applications need, and provide an interface for qt. You can basically create whatever you want.
Instead of providing only a remote file, they also let you store json objects, lowering some of the impedance between object and file.
Probably not too many examples with this new thing. Maybe you can ask them to provide more samples.

I wanted to crate an mobile app (using Flex) that let user upload some user generated content (eg. Text, Picture) to my website and also able to display/view it on the website as well.
I don’t much on the back end (web programming, website database, cloud).
What is the best way to do this or is there any ready build solution out there?
Thanks.
Look at httpService for your user upload and tie it to a back end web service using POST or GET parameters. Personally, I recommend PHP but any web capable service would work. Then, tie that service to store your images on your web server or in a database. Reverse the process to get it back out. Can this all be done in Flex? No. Can you tie it in with a web service easily? Yes. Good luck.

I have never programmed web sites. I know that I can create web sites using ASP.
So is it possible to create full web site with Silverlight? Or does Silverlight only support web forms?
Yes I suppose you could.
However, would it be the right choice for your target market?
Silverlight market share : 65%
Flash market share : 95%
Javscript - pretty much everyone
HTML - everyone
If you're tarketing the whole world, personally I wouldn't use silverlight for the whole site, just for features that required it (and even then, I'd write a HTML only backup version for people who don't have silverlight).
However, if you're writing it for a company that you know has silverlight installed and you're familiar with silverlight then go for it!
theoretically it's possible, but I don't think it's really recommended when some environments stop supporting plug-ins as java/flash/silverlight...
I suppose Html5 is the best choice for web development.
