I am fairly new at web development scene, and I was wondering if you can help me break up the pros and cons of using python django vs asp.net mvc besides the maturity level of its framework.
I have intermediate experience with Java. As of right now, I am leaning towards Python, but I just wanted to make sure, I am making the right choice. I find myself limited with books available on asp.net web developments. I am aware that there is the storefront example on the official asp.net site. However, that tutorial was a little hard for me to follow. I've done a research around and was hoping python could be my next available choice. There are more tutorials available online for Python anyways.
What do you think?
It always make sens to do some research regarding technologies trends and professionals demand, you can do this by using Google tools, such as Google Trends
It will save you time and help you to choose right direction. See more details about technology research here. Happy coding!
ASP.NET MVC is pretty cool if you already know C# and/or ASP... but if you're starting from scratch, Django is (IMO) a better bet. You probably have more hosting options for Django, for one thing.

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 an engineering firm and our website was built using Visual Studio 2010 / asp.net 4.0 / VB. Recently, a client (GM) requested that we have a knowledge base where they can input their questions, and we can answer 'em. Kind of like a FAQ, or a Lessons Learned type of thing. But it'll require that they'll be able to log in and ask their own questions.
For instance: Q: How would I incorporate multiple machine vision systems into a bead detection application?
A: You would need to use a software such as PPT and have multiple fixtures in order to assimilate the cameras accordingly.
I'm terrible at databases; I can basically run an SQL query, and that's about it! lol. And I'm not a programmer by trade. Can I do this without a database? Can anyone guide me in the right direction here? I mean, is there something out there that's open-source, or at least something that's easy to implement?
Any guidance in this regard would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Just install a Wiki.
There are plenty of different ones out there - some written in .NET lanaguages.

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.
Here is a flow chart to help you in your decision

So, I am working on an app that needs heavy "cell" calculations in a web-based app. The client needs to be able to change values, even the formulas... calculate totals etc, all on the client side in basically a "spreadsheet".
These requirements are pretty strict :(
I am wondering if there is any library or any way to utilize Excel through a web page? Would Silverlight provide any benefit? One thing I was thinking about is that we need some of the same functionality on the client and server (formula calculating), so Silverlight would be great for the re-usability of our C#. Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT 1: ## It is not a public facing application.
Have you considered using Excel itself? Could be a particularly good option for a non-public-facing app.
You can embed .NET code into Excel, including a custom UI and web services calls, with a technology called VSTO. It gives you full programmatic control over cells, formulas, etc. Very cool!
Excel Web Services?

SpreadsheetGear for .NET will do it.
Here is an article by Deane Barker who had a similar question on stackoverflow.
Even Microsoft uses SpreadsheetGear for Excel based calculators on it's MSN Money site as you can see here.
You can find live ASP.NET samples here and download the free trial here.

I have a small site I developed for a friend that uses ASP.Net MVC and was wondering if I could hook it up to dotnetnuke or another CMS. Or is doing an admin site using dynamic data?
Here is a list of a few ASP.NET MVC based CMS's. However these are not based on the current release candidate but I think they are a pretty good start.
N2 Open Source ASP.NET CMS
http://n2cms.com/
Oxite
http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite
Hydrogen CMS
http://www.hydrogencms.net/Home.aspx
Take a look to Kooboo (kooboo.com). A simple to use and flexible CMS based upon ASP.NET MVC.
I wish there was a good CMS in MVC. However MVC isn't even RTM yet!
The thing with current .NET CMSs are that they don't handle URLs very well.
I'm hoping a CMS built on MVC will pop up at some point.
Try Composite C1. I have developed a few MVC modules for this. The good thing is that you can have both MVC and Web Form modules working side by side in this CMS.
Take a look at OpenSourceCms.com, they might have what you're looking for or the demos there might at least help lead you to an answer.
Oxite might be the closest to what you are after at the moment although I think it is more of a blog engine.
In my opinion, the only decent CMS is the one you write yourself. Just the features you want, with no inactive sections, but if you want to have a solid base to start with, try MVCwCMS (Please note I'm the author).
