Nowadays, we can find many JS templating engines like KnockOut, Mustache, Underscore, ... Can you please tell me what are the advantages of an architecture based upon theses engines ? and/or when to use them ? Is it better (maintainability, dev costs, reliability, ...) than generating all HTML from server-side ?
Is it a good architecture to expose feeds (rest service in json) and do some stuff on client side (micro templating) ?
Linkedin has done great research, have a look at this page.
The main advantage of templates is optimization of the amount of data passed to the client it make response faster, reduces your traffic costs, and increase throughput of your servers.

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

I was told github has concatenation tool, rather I heard this at a tech event.
So if I have
file1.js
file2.js
...
It will concatenate them into
file_all.js
Is there a web interface for this? ( at www.github.com )
I want to be efficient and not copy paste this by hand.
I don't need anything complicated, just something that will do this automatically.
Use grunt. It has become an extremely popular tool. It may take a little while for you to set it up but it was designed to automate tasks such as uglifying (concatenating and minifying JS files).
You want to automate your workflow? Go with maven and this package of tools for JS developers http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/

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've used Backbone.js, I've learned about Knockout.js; however, now I found out about Knockback.js. It is supposed to get the best out of the other two tried& proven frameworks.
Do you have any experience with Knockback in production? I'm wary to use it since it doesn't seem to be mature enough.
I've been using Knockback on a large multi-module project with good results. The docs and examples are unnecessarily complex, so I wrote a blog describing Knockback with some very simple examples and a JSFiddle to get you started.

Feedback is most welcome!
I wouldn't use it yet. It's hard enough to get corporate buy in on knockoutJS.
I guess it all has to do with the size of your company, the willingness to support alpha / beta / volatile open source projects.
It is the nature of the beast, this bleeding edge of innovation. Skating that thin ice of unsuportability.

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)
