Apart from WPF based rehosted designer, are there any HTML/HTML5 based workflow designers for Windows Workflow Foundation ?
Regards

One way is to take your WPF application and package it up as an XBAP. This allows it to run in Internet Explorer. This link provides information on creating XBAP packages and the considerations to take when building them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970060(v=vs.110).aspx

Is UWP or Xamarin is usable for enterprise applications like CRM, ERP, etc...
Is the any sample on market, or there are any patterns?
These platform are firstly mobile platforms, but they had a excellent support, a lot of graphically possibility and very modern look and feel. These platform are designed for mobile application in first line, but they are ready for enterprice applications?
Of course the are lot of extension in built control (DataGrid, Charts) which makes possible to create enterprise application. But I did not find any. Is there and problem or drawback of this platforms?
Thank you
Is UWP/Xamarin ready for enterprise applications?
The answer is yes. Xamarin UWP applies not only to mobile platforms but also to desktop platforms(Windows 10). You could also run it in the desktop client. This benefits from the native universal window platform.
For pattern, there many pattern you could select such as publish-subscribe MVVM etc. For more you could refer Enterprise Application Patterns using Xamarin.Forms.
For enterprise publish, you could think of Xamarin UWP application as UWP application, and Distribute LOB apps to enterprises document has described the details of publish process.
And this blog describe the possibility of Xamarin.Form enterprise application that you could refer.
Is it possible to edit the workflows defined in WWF outside of visual studio so that an end user can edit the business rules without resorting to development team?
Yes, you can re-host the workflow designer in another application or even a web browser (as an XBAP). You can include the out of the box activities too, even change how they look in your re-hosted workflow designer.
I created a ASP.net MVC 5 project in Visual Studio 2013, running in a Windows 8.1 Pro.
I've been ask to put my project on a SharePoint, but I don't quite know how it's done.
i tried creating a SharePoint project on my Visual Studio but it won't let me since I don't have SharePoint installed, and when I try to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 or 2013 it complains I don't have Windows Server.
How do I make my project work on a SharePoint?
So you want to put your project on sharepoint? Cool!
In your case you definetly want to get your own SharePoint environment. To develop Apps (or Add-ins as they are called today) you mainly use Client-side code and techniques. This also means that you need to handle the SharePoint resources with asyncronous programming. Its very powerful, But that is not what you are asking for.
I would set up an SharePoint 2013 Foundation environment since its free and will very much deliver the capabilities you are after. Keep in mind though that SharePoint is a HUGE system that requires some understanding to be utilized.
I made a blogpost a while back where i Installed Win Server 2012 R2 on a external disk, this example works with SharePoint if you just want to debug your project on a SharePoint server. Check it out here: http://bayerlein.se/install-windows-server-on-external-hdd-with-the-help-of-virtual-box/
This solution will of course also require that you install your development program in the same environment.
Good luck//Kodz
It really depends upon what you want to do. Do you need to create a provider hosted app with MVC for SharePoint 2013? In that case, you might succeed with including the necessary references and tooling code (but you still might lack the app manifest project). Technically your project won't run on SharePoint but uses the SharePoint API.
If you need to create an SharePoint solution package, you need a SharePoint development install (and as SharePoint doesn't install on all client OS, your best way is going virtual with a SharePoint development VM). Keep in mind that developing solution packages is a different kind of trade than developing for MVC, so start with a Pluralsite course or some other kind of training.
I think you can create a SharePoint app. You can use VS2015 with SP online so that you don't need to install SP locally. Create a trial o365 account and enable developer site on it. You can deploy your app on the developer site then. If you have developer site from you client instead of using sp online you can use that too.
Once your app works you can create package to deploy on the SharePoint environment.
I think right now, the best way for you would be signing up as Microsoft Office 365 Developer and having a trial of the 365 cloud where you can setup sharepoint 2013 site collection and also develop apps using their tool NAPA.
These days they are calling apps "SharePoint Add-ins"
NAPA and SharePoint Add-ins
I would also suggest you take a look at this article:

what is the stack for a asp.net Web forms application?and why?
example for ASP.NET MVC there is an example:
http://codeclimber.net.nz/archive/2009/10/15/my-asp.net-mvc-stack-and-why-i-chosen-it.aspx
thanks
To be perfectly honest, this depends a lot on the specific project you plan to build with WebForms. Since I'm newer to MVC, I do just about all of my .NET development with WebForms. So here's the "stack" (framework + tools + components) that I use when building an application:
Framework
Obviously, ASP.NET WebForms. I make sure to keep all of my different layers (presentation layer - aspx webform, business logic - aspx.vb/aspx.cs codebehind, data access layer - additional classes) separate while I'm building.
Tools
Visual Studio 2010 - I dare you to find a better tool for developing a .NET-based web application.
SQL Management Studio Express - Fantastic tool for managing your database setup
TortoiseSVN - Subversion tool that integrates directly into Windows' contextual file menus. It's great for quickly committing/reverting projects!
BugTracker.NET - Great bug tracking tool that integrates with TortoiseSVN.
Libraries
jQuery - I use this for everything
jQuery UI - Great for adding "squishy" user interface elements and building out more interactive web forms
Flexigrid - I use this for building datagrid elements on my sites. Since it's built with jQuery, it interfaces nicely and handles AJAX data loads remarkably well.
YUI - Another JavaScript library that's great for animations and transitions.
Testing
Visual Studio Debugger - fantastic for stepping through server-side code to make sure things are working
Firebug - Firefox extension - Absolutely essential for debugging client-side scripts and for identifying HTML/CSS errors
IETester - Useful for anyone supporting commercial clients (who might still be using IE6)
For deployment, I use a set of custom tools that create unique filenames for frequently changed files that will need to bypass a user's cache when they're changed - i.e. whenever a CSS or JS file is updated or I change an image, I'll append a unique string to the end of the filename so the browser re-fetches the file.
The stack we have where I work:
Visual Studio 2008 / SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005
Resharper - for helping with coding standards and practices
Subversion - for source control (Formerly had SourceSafe which I had used for years but Subversion is much much better IMO)
Cruise Control .Net - for continuous integration
nUnit/nAnt - for unit tests and automated builds
IIS 5.1 - The downside of still being on XP is that we have these old tools at times.
IIS Admin .Net 1.1 - For helping have multiple sites on one machine.
WatiN - for web-based tests when needed.
In terms of coding add-ons:
jQuery
Sitecore (This is our CMS and is huge in some ways)
Browsers, just to note the big ones here:
IE
Firefox
Chrome
Safari
Tools:
Dev environment -
Visual Studio 2010 Professional - quite an obvious choice given that the latest tool is a big improvement over 2008 edition, especially in terms of performance. There are a few quirks still (waiting for SP1!) but it is mostly a pleasant and productive experience.
SQL Management Studio Express - for DB management
Source control and Project Management - Team Foundation Server 2010 - really going all out with MS here, leveraging our Bizspark membership, TFS 2010 has cool new features including branching/merging, shelfing (vs checking in) and much better transactional integrity than VSS. Also the project management tools are pretty good - there are various templates you can choose depending on whether you want to go Agile, or traditional.
Mantis - for bug tracking, but we are phasing this out and trying to move to TFS. Figuring out how to migrate existing data though.
Libraries:
Asp.net Ajax - pretty cool for what we need, simple ajax effects are quite easy to achieve.
Testing:
MS Test - in built in Visual studio, much better than previous releases - Unit testing support is far better.
Debugging:
Visual Studio Debugger
IE Developer tools
Hi i would like to know best testing tool for asp.net website which can run with VS 2008 Professional Edition.
I would like to do
Load Testing
Stress Testing
Also i would like to calculate Concurrent users count that can access my website.
There are many tools available, but i am not able to judge best one.
If anybody knoes then please help me?
I have not used this but there is WebAII, a free UI test engine for .Net. Telerik supports this testing framework as well.
In fact this depends on your infrastructure. If you have a lot of computers available to simulate a multi user environment you can use OpenSTA. I've tried a lot of tools and i'm finally landed on Apache JMeter. It is easy to install and to use.
There is also a companion tool that can be used to generate test scripts for JMeter: Badboy.
You could try the Web Application Stress Tool from Microsoft.
I would recommend Visual Studio Team System Test Edition.
Have used the test types load testing and web testing.
Worked very well.
