I'm used to developing GUIs with C++/Qt at work, but recently dived into the Javascript/jQuery world. I think it could be easily possible to connect an existing software core via JSON-interface to a jQuery UI.
I wonder what the dis/advantages are for using jQuery as a GUI instead of building the GUI with traditional technologies like C++/Qt.
Generally there are definitely more advantages rather then disadvantages, cause you're getting a cross-platform UI, but if we are talking about the native apps you will have to use wrappers to access native functions of the os level and file structure
For mobile:
Phonegap(Cordova)
Titanium
for desktop applications there's a number of wrapper, the most common aproach right now is nodejs based app which runs a webkit instance, so yo are writing both "back" and "front" on javascript, example:
AppJs

I've been reading that some companies have been moving their mobile platforms to node.js servers. Just wondering what the advantages of building responsive or mobile websites on node.js would be.
Just trying to determine if node.js would be the best choice of server tech in my situation - where i build responsive websites with front end scripting for ui elements, as well as some server/db driven functionality such as blogs.
No, if you are just talking about front end development, it doesn't matter what is actually serving your assets. In fact according to a few stackoverflow posts(here, here) nginx and apache perform better for serving static assets.
A plus side to node would be to have your stack all use the same language, javascript. There are all sorts of nifty javascript build tools that are built on and distributed through npm

As far as i know there are several programming language to develop program for Gnome 3 (Python, JavaScript, Vala, C, C++).
I was wondering which language has complete implementation API of Gnome 3 binding and also which of them support complete application development tools life-cycle (UI designer, Test Framework, IDE,...)?
I am going to use JavaScript is it a good choose with above concerns?
I'd say Vala has the most complete bindings, plus you can easily modify the existing bindings for your own project if they don't work properly, which makes it a robust choice compared to using plain gobject introspection in other languages. But I'm biased :)
Vala however has less development tools.

I'm looking to start using knockout. What is the best IDE when using knockout.js? Most of the literature mentions VS2010, is there a good free alternative?
I love Sublime Text 2 , it's multi-platform, super-easy and very configurable.
It's not free per se, but they let you try it out with no limitation for whatever time you want. The licenses are very cheap and you don't have to buy one for each O.S.
I prefer to use something simple like notepad++ for javascript. If you want something more then Eclipse offers a javascript version.
Cloud 9 IDE. I won't say it's the best, but it's a good option.
Cloud9 is a state-of-the-art IDE that runs in your browser and lives
in the cloud, allowing you to run, debug and deploy applications from
anywhere, anytime. A complete game-changer that will change the way we
develop applications forever.

I just recently got interested in how search engines work, and I found out that they use "bots" or "webcrawlers". I immediately started wondering about how do these things work and I wanted to create one! So, first of: how do you make a program that requests a page from a server? It would be awesome if you gave me a simple example in JavaScript (I'm running it as a normal scripting language using Node). Next, is there a Node module that let's me interpret HTML? Create a DOM for me so I can cycle trough all the links and so on? Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess it's done like that... Any examples in C++, C or Python are warmly welcomed as well, although I'd prefer JS or Python because I'm more familiar with high-level scripting languages.
Getting HTTP pages: node http.get (example is there)
DOM documents: jsdom (also includes examples)

What options does a web developer currently have for implementing client-side peer-to-peer systems in the web browser? Some hypothetical examples might be a file-sharing service that bypasses the web-server after clients find eachother, or a chat service.
What I know about:
the site chatroulette uses
some flash technology as discussed
here.
And I am also aware of Opera
Unity which extends the browser
model to encompass both a client and
a server, as well as this firefox plugin which works similarly
I also just came across this blog
post related to the Joose js
framework, but am not yet sure if it
is relevant here.
Support for this kind of thing seems like it might or might not be supported by websockets in HTML5 and has been discussed here and here and here.
I recommend you to take a look at RTMFP protocol in Adobe Flash Player - it seems you can build something close to what you're asking with it.
I was looking for the same thing, this library looks apealing:
