I'm porting three of my WP7 apps, that use my WCF SOAP Services to Android (so I can make some money for a change). They don't like SOAP over there so I need to make a duplicate version of my WCF service methods to Restful services.
I created a simple working test service some months ago using the WCF REST Service Template 40(CS) template so that's one choice. However I see a lot on the web about ASP.NET Web API using MVC 4.
My question is: Is this fully cooked and going to grow and prosper or is Microsoft going to get me all involved in this and then drop it like a hot potato after I've got a year in it.
I would choose whatever got the job done that was supportable while being the least effort to implement. If I was on a level playing field I would run with the WebAPI mainly because it is very, very smooth. I would also version my API using versioned urls or content negotiation to insulate myself.
I can't speak for Microsoft, but in general they stand behind anything they have released as a fully supported product for quite some time. I'd expect the WebAPI to be supported at least as long as the platform. I don't see Microsoft dropping .NET support anytime soon and I would expect to see .NET 4.0 supported for the foreseeable future.

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 a question regarding those 2 techniques, if I'm going to use both techniques in my project doesn't they clash?
for example, they both use the MVC model. So if I use the angular routing isn't the ASP.net MVC routing unnecesarry than?
Is it a smart move to only use ASP.net to create the WEB API and the other backend processing, and angularJS to implement MVC and talk to the API
any suggestions?
You shouldn't have to worry about them clashing if done correctly. Your bigger concern should be the additional and redundant work it may cause. For the large majority of situations, having Angular interact directly with WEB API is favorable because it eliminates a layer and makes your UI completely portable between technology stacks.
There are merits to the hybird approach though that are concisely expalined here: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/209735/mixing-angular-and-asp-net-mvc-web-api
The two can complement each other. MVC routing only kicks in when you make a server request. So long as no HTTP request to the server is made, then MVC routing doesn't kick in. I use the server for returning "dynamic content" that depends on some server resident information. You can fetch modals from the server as Partials. Using the Server for mostly API work is however advisable.
There is a project called TwitterBootStrapMVC (https://www.twitterbootstrapmvc.com/) That enables you to render pure bootstrap markup on the server and deliver it to angular after some "post processing". It is handy and works well with Angular.

I'm working on developing API requirements. oData looks very promising. However, searching for oData turns up results primarily related to ASP.NET. Is oData widely accepted by the development community, (meaning php, Python, Ruby, etc.) or is it primarily used by Microsoft devs?
Thanks,
TK
OData initially was an Microsoft project but now an OASIS standard and working towards becoming an ISO standard. Besides Microsoft, OData is also adopted in many different companies like SAP, IBM and etc, you can check part of the OData ecosystem at http://www.odata.org/ecosystem/. Also there are library support in various platforms including PHP, Python, Ruby and etc, please check at http://www.odata.org/libraries and you can search OData in GitHub.

We are converting a major.NET 2.0 project to MVC, we were learning MVC 4 and since MVC 5 is already out, we figured we might as well move straight to MVC 5 since it offers attribute based routing out of the box and .NET 4.5 seems like the platform to develop some chat features we were thinking about using SignalR.
The confusing part for us now is that there are so much information since .NET 2.0 regarding say membership
From research, we saw
Simple Membership
Universal Membership
Identify Membership (1.0, and then 2.x?? what?)
So boils down to one simple question, is ASP.NET Identity THE thing to learn regarding membership when we redesign the app in MVC 5? Simpler Membership / Universal, we can just completely ignore them right?
Sorry all, I'm just really late to the MVC game and I'm trying to catch up. A bit (actually completely) overwhelmed by different articles all talking about different things.
Thanks.
Take a step back and realize what all these "solutions" are doing. They are helping you create an identity in ASP.NET and help manage cookies on the client. When you think about it that way you will realize that you need very little to build a good authentication scheme. I always leverage what is in ASP.NET in regards to principal and cookie management, but ignore the database stuff and just implement it myself.
I wrote this post that I hope will help you. You will realize there really isn't much too authentication.

I need to create my own application that is similar windows performance monitor. I want to monitor the DQL using asp.net. But i don't know where to start. I already research but no luck.
Consider using below components (but still remember, it is only a suggestion) to start from:
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter class - to access performance counter data
ASP.NET MVC - to create a website
SignalR - to create a backend Hub for client notifications of data gathered by PerformanceCounter class
DotNet.Highcharts - to create charts control
What is your planned usage of this application? If you are planning to use it for your organization then you might want to consider SaaS solution that allows you to plug in your collector.
You have better uptime on the monitoring application because that monitoring service is the last thing you want to go down. You are probably more familiar with how to monitor DQL than to create an application that does charting and alerting. You should be able to get something going within days instead of weeks.
Monitoring is normally composed of collecting, storing and charting. A good SaaS monitoring tool will do well with storing and charting and you need to look for ones with plugin framework that allow you to decide what to collect.
