I am new to frontend development and only know a couple of technologies like HTML, CSS and bootstrap. I am curious to know what technology was used to create this visualization?
The best data visualization tools include Google Charts, Tableau, Grafana, Chartist. js, FusionCharts, Datawrapper, Infogram, ChartBlocks, and D3
That is a custom visualisation by David Galles that he built on top of jQuery (jQuery JavaScript Library v1.5.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.11). I do not see anything else linked in the code. Aside from jQuery it's plain HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Can anyone indicate me to a framework of BI / OLAP or at least a Chart Engine, preferably open source, which properly integrate with MEAN.JS or MEAN.IO platform in SPA - Single Page Application architecture?
I know the keen.io. It is free in low transactional volume, but it is not open-source.
The Pentaho is a great BI tool, it's open-source, has RESTful Services and supports MongoDB, but your dashboard still employs Java on the server side and is one generation behind frameworks like Node.js and Angular.JS and they are only migrating now for jQuery and Bootstrap.
Thank you in advance for any contribution.
Discovery 1
There is a amazing API, similar to jQuery in objective of manipulate DOM for you to compose graphic charts, named D3.JS - Data-Driven Documents d3js.org.
Discovery 2
There is a chart engine named NVD3 nvd3.org, built on D3.JS, that allow you apply re-usable chart components in your Javascript applications.
Discovery 3
There is a Angular.JS module named AngularJS-NVD3-directives http://cmaurer.github.io/angularjs-nvd3-directives/, that integrate the chart components of NVD3 into directives of Angular.JS, allowing use it natively in your Angular.JS applications.
The Open Source Solution for MEAN Stack
You can integrate AngularJS-NVD3-directives components with Pentaho RESTful services via Mongoose accessing your MongoDB data to build dashboards and scoreboards control panels for your applications.
You still need to write code to integrate each of the components of a control panel as grid layout, themes, field projection and visibility, filter, sort, pivot tables and charts.
Today, the development process of control panels isn't straightforward, but you already have an open source solution good enough to design impressive applications.
I've never used them and may be they're not what you're looking for, but you should definitively take a look to this two projects: d3js and raphaeljs
Hope this helps you!
I have learned the Google design guidelines.
I have a good look at http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html.
In the github source of web-starter-kit.
But, Will there somewhere source of http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html?
Polymer is a great library for implementing Google Material Design into your app: https://www.polymer-project.org/0.5/.
Also, if your are build in Angular.JS the guys at Google have created their own NPM module called Angular Material: https://material.angularjs.org. It has a number of installation methods available.
There is also another library that has incorporated Google Material Design with Bootstrap: Just search for "Bootstrap Material Design" or go here. This wonderful library is made by FezVrasta.
Material Design is great thing brought by Google. Here are some of the frameworks that can be really useful to you.
Materialize: It's a great thing to start off with. Just CSS, no JavaScript.
Material UI: This is the library that I always use in my projects, but the problem that you may face is that this library is dependent on react.js.
Leaf BETA: Still in beta, it has extensive list of components such as buttons, cards, sliders, menu, tabs etc. It includes icons by Icomoon, instead of the original Material design icons.
Polymer Paper Elements: Polymer has so many things. Nearly all. It is brought by Google so you may not have any problems using that.
MUI CSS Framework: This is library that I use for man small projects just because it is the only library that I found having best documentation.
AngularJS Material Design: This is the framework that you might know. Still a lots of bugs around there.
Bootstrap Material Design: Last but not the least, this will be extremely helpful to you if you prefer bootstrap for web designing.
As the things are changing, there might be some other framework very soon to compete with these all.
Is there a module or similar things that support skinning in NodeJS? I want to build a NodeJS website, and want to be able to re-skin the website as I like without much efforts, like in Wordpress.
Is skinning supported in NodeJS?
If you're interested in building a website in Node.js and don't need a wordpress-style cms behind it, there are few projects that can help you out.
Have you looked into Bootstrap? It's built with less which you can easily plug in to your Express setup (see the guide here, using the command line executable to set up a new project you can specify less like this: express --css less myapp and it will do all the work for you)
In the bootstrap less file are several variables you can use to change the colours, fonts, sizes, etc, and it's also got a lot of helpers for grid layouts and responsive designs.
It even includes a few useful javascript plugins too which make the ui nicer with less work.
There are also a lot of sites with themes and theme generators around which then work on top of bootstrap, and may achieve what you want.
Plugging in this sort of solution (whether bootstrap or other) is about as close as you can come to getting skinning for node; As otherwise suggested if you're looking for a CMS out of the box as well, probably best to look for another platform like Wordpress.
Node.js is not a content management system. It is a platform on top of which you could built a web server with a content management system. To answer your question you need to be looking for node.js based content management systems that support themes.
The only node.js CMS that I am aware of is Calipso. It's still pretty alpha-stage. It may have some theming support, but it is nowhere near as polished as Wordpress.
Also is there a reason why you want to use node.js? I mean there is nothing wrong in using Wordpress for creating a themeable website - it is just awesome for that.
If you just want another OnlineShop, or maybe a blog, i think nodejs is maybe not your right choose as Jed Watson told.
If your requirements are more complicated, and you want a quick and easy implementation of a nice web interface, and you have html, javascript, and css knowledge... I strongly recommend you just trying to work with MEAN.js
It puts together MongoDB Expressjs, AngularJs, and NodeJs.
Use this, for example with a yeoman fullstack constructor and you will have a powerful webapp, with user autentication, and much more in a few minutes.
After that, the use of jade, less, scss, and similar languages of modelling the front, and the easy way you can also model collections in the back, is for me the best combination you´ll find for creating a website today.
Hope it´ll help you

I am looking to reuse templates I write for NodeJS in the browser, by this I hope to gain fast page loading time (initial rendering), and dynamic content switching ability, etc...
This would be most natural on Node, any ideas of compatible templating engines?
By the way, I like the HAML style syntax, so anything HAML based is a huge plus.
Thanks!
Roman
Edit:
I think that I like the approach of Mustache the most, it works with Express and also in client side.. will update here on how the implementation went..
Jade is excellent, very similar to HAML and compiles down to JavaScript for browser usage :)
See the README on the Github repo for details.
Jade is also the semi-officially recommended template language for the currently most popular web framework for Node, Express (in fact, they share authors), so it looks like a solid choice to me.
I recently evaluated a lot of NodeJS template libraries and ended up picking Jade.
I've made a simple example of using Jade in the browser. The fun stuff happens in demo.js, and you can also view index.jade which contains the basic page markup.
EJS works in the browser and with express out of the box. Admittedly the syntax is not HANL style nor is particularly feature rich but you can easily get it to work.
I've also used a simple technique to re-use templates and views on both client and server and it works reasonably well
JAVASCRIPT TEMPLATE SHOWDOWN!~
Which is pretty much all the best templates lined up to test in the browser.
(also #Raynos it includes an example of jade in the browser)
Personally I use Jade, combined with stylus and jquery I only use css selectors.
But. . . as you can see from the chart Jade doesn't get along with firefox 3 or opera.
You could try weld https://github.com/hij1nx/weld that has implementation in server side and client side.
node-jqtpl is your best bet. It's a port of jQuery Templates, so 100% reusable in the browser.
There is a command-like utility TplCpl written in Node.js that allows to compile Jade templates for browser use.

I want to get a good list of image gallery engines of all flavours: Stand alone, plugins for Wordpress or Rails, AJAX, no AJAX, using simple folders or a database on the server.
Please state what is needed (eg MySQL and Django) to run each item if possible. Thanks!
[I asked a similar question a while back but had limited responses. Hopefully with more users and a small bounty this will pick up more steam. EDIT - can't attach a bounty for two days. Hold tight.]
These are the ones I recall at the moment, they are all easy to integrate and they don't require much implementation to use. They all have a good and appealing design. Hope it helps.
Cooliris: Runs on flash, uses an
RSS feed to show the images
FancyBox: Jquery Plugin, you
just need to have create an < a
ref... arround the < img src...
LightBox: jQuery plugin, also
easy to use.
Photo Slider: jQuery plugin, as
some thumbnails bellow which you can
use to slide through the images
SimpleViewer: Nice Design, shows
thumbnails and images
HighSlide JS: Javascript viewer
I like Gallery the best of any I've seen. It requires PHP and a database). It can be plugged in to WordPress and other CMSish things
Take a look at SourceForge
If you are looking for a gallery application I recommend the open source project 'Gallery2'.
Lytebox is easy to use and very nice. It's enhanced version of LightBox.
Here is a nice photogallery using silverlight. Slide.Show is another slick Silverlight gallery. There are many gallery modules available for DotNetNuke, and an official module. There are also a great many available on Codeplex.
