Is there a module out there that would would sort of allow a user to run SQL queries and simple tables to a database directly from Drupal?
http://drupal.org/project/dba . But beware! you are opening a security hole: allowing random database-queries to be ran from your CMS is considerd a severe risk. If correctly configured, however, that hole is not exploitable, but a hole nonetheless :)
The tablewizard module will allow you to import an arbitraryt table. This cab then be sent to the views module for refining and display. Works very nicely.
Module Forena seems like a valid alternative to consider. For more details about Forena, 2 types of documentation are available:
Community documentation.
Documentation that comes with Forena, which you can access right after install and enable of the module. Checkout the demo site for an online example of the current:
Forena documentation - use the link 'Reporting documentation' or visit relative link /reports/help.
Forena samples - use the link 'Reporting samples' or visit relative link /reports/samples (these samples are fully functional, so make sure to experiment a bit with it, such as the drill downs available on the SVG Graph sample).
The newest 7.x-4.x version also includes an amazing (I think) UI for either creating your reports (the WYSIWYG report editor) and/or for creating your SQL queries (the Query Builder).
Disclosure: I'm a co-maintainer of this module,
I hope this does not violate the site's policy on self-promotion.

Is there any UI Console where I can query the Firebase Database?? Basically I wish to query the data just like we can query other databases using UI
The Firebase Console has built-in support for sorting and filtering the data in a Firestore collection. Click the little filter icon at the top of the collection (next to the overflow menu 𐄛).
Many developers also use a local node.js script/REPL (such as in this video tutorial explaining Firebase Queries) or set up a jsfiddle/jsbin (such as in this question).
EDIT: As mentioned in the comments, the docs link is currently dead. This project might be abandoned. Please try the next answer.
EDIT 2: I removed links to the software and docs since it looked like some phishing website took over the domain.
Original answer:
Check out Firebase Admin. It's a UI for Linux, OSX and Windows and it has a Query tab that lets you experiment with queries.
Read the docs on how to create the private key the app needs to connect to your project.
I found and have been using Firestation. Can be used on windows, mac, and linux. I would say to check it out. You can run sql queries against your firebase database.

I'm developing a PHP application that connects to an Alfresco instance for application content storage. Never having used Alfresco before, I'm looking for some good tutorials that explain the structure and organization of an Alfresco repository, i.e. how Nodes work, etc.
I haven't found much beyond the Alfresco Docs on the alfresco.com website, and while they do a good job explaining how to setup and configure an alfresco solution, they don't seem to talk as much about how the content repository is structured. A google search doesn't reveal much in the way of free online tutorials for Alfresco development.
Anyone know any good free tutorials for this, or will I have to end up finding a book written on the subject?
I'll humbly submit the set of Alfresco tutorials that I have written on my blog, ecmarchitect.com. They cover things like custom content models, custom actions, web scripts, behaviors, and workflows.
If you are using Alfresco 4, read the "2nd Edition" of the tutorials, where available. Those cover the most recent stuff.
Also, as you are developing a PHP app, you will be interested in the CMIS section of the "Custom Content Types" tutorial. Learn CMIS, then go grab the PHP API from the Apache Chemistry project. You can then use that to remotely perform CRUD functions against the repo from your PHP app.
Thay aren't that many good resources on the web.
But you can check out Alfresco blogs: http://www.alfresco.com/blogs/
Alfresco wiki is a good source: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Main_Page
And this book (may be the best book for starting with Alfresco): http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-Alfresco-Practical-Solutions-for-Enterprise-Content-Management.productCd-0470571047.html
Have fun with Alfresco! :)

Does anyone know of any good resources (books, articles, existing software, etc...) for learning how to implement A/B split testing in ASP.NET?
FairlyCertain is an AB Testing library for ASP.NET that's worth checking out. It drops seamlessly into your project and doesn't require any of the javascript voodoo that Google Website Optimizer uses (which kills your site's performance and SEO all in one shot).
I've been using it for a few of my projects for several months now with good success.
I have just written a short article describing a technique for doing split testing in ASP.Net MVC. You can check it out here
It will not take much work to make it work with traditional asp.net.
For anyone running into this post again, you may find this useful:
http://github.com/htayebi/AbTestMaster
It's an open source a/b testing framework for ASP.NET MVC which allows you to write the results either in sql database or csv file. You can download the nuget package or if interested, go through the code in github.
Google website optimizer?

http://www.google.com/support/websiteoptimizer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=71976
I suggest you use Display Modes to achieve A/B testing.
But Display Modes just support simple problems by default.
If you already implement Display Modes in some other scenario. You can consider DisplayModeMatrix (just google it). It helps you use Display Modes more efficiency.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/DisplayModeMatrix/
Wth Display Modes you can simply delete/rename views after A/B testing to clean up your project.

I'm using ASP.NET on my current website and now I need to add some blogs to the site. I need at least 5 multiple blogs and I'm looking for a solution in ASP.NET.
I have been using WordPress before and was looking at Wordpress MU but as I'm running ASP.NET on this website it seems like a bad idea to combine these two. Also the blog is going to be in a subdirectory that I need to protect with ASP.NET so only logged in users can see the blog.
What is the best alternative for multiple blogs in ASP.NET? Or do you think I shall just use WordPress anyway?
Not the best answer:
But it is possible to adjust/extended the open source BlogEngine.net to handle multiple sites.
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/
That being said, it will take some work to make it support a "blog-network", but there are a bunch of developers out there that have done it, and there was an old project based off version 1.3 that handles multiple blogs.
Blogengine now has direct support for multiple blogs.
Is very fast and easy to use.
And it can work without a database if you prefer.
To understand how multiple blogs works and how to configure it look at Introducing Multiple Blogs in Single Instance for BlogEngine.NET
There's Community Server, which is the engine used by MSDN blogs. Back in the day CS used to be an open source ASP.NET showcase project, but it ended up being monetized. I don't know if they still have a free version.

I'm building a desktop application in Flex/AIR, and one of the current items on my TODO list is to develop a help system.
Throughout the GUI, there are little (?) buttons. When the user clicks one of those buttons, a HelpPanel appears, displaying some relevant information from the docs.
Simple enough.
But I'd really like to build a full-fledged help system, just like the ones normally deployed in desktop apps: a hierarchical table of contents, the ability to search for keywords, hyperlinking between help topics, etc.
Also, since my app will provide an API for plugin authors, I'd like to also provide hooks for third-party plugins to integrate their own documentation in with the core help system.
With my app, the user may not always be online, so all of the help data must be available locally (though it'd be very cool if new help content could be synchronized periodically from a server).
Building that kind of help system from scratch would be relatively straightforward, but it would also take a lot of time away from actually developing the core features of my application, so I'd rather use an off-the-shelf solution.
I've done a bit of googling, but can't find anything that fits the bill.
Any suggestions?
You might consider using the AIR html control to display html help files bound to links in your app, and built using any number of available tools for constructing HTML help screens.
If you design it using a conventional web server directory and file structure, there are plenty of tools for maintaining synchronized files.
This link references an AIR-based help system, and a possible interface to RoboHelp.
Here is a link to the RoboHelp "Packager".
