I've seen the layout in the following link a few times now, and they all look very similar. Is this a template or a framework that people are using? The reason I ask is that I am looking to build simple web apps but do not have a knack for the design aspect of it.

The most likely used framework is Bootstrap: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/

I'm a front-end developer with a desire to learn more on functional programming and template engine processing through JavaScrit.
I'm currently learning the Node platform, which I initiate through Visual Studio Code terminal to build custom JavaScript apps. But I want to take Node further. Does Node provide any good resources on building an MVC (Model View Controller) like applications?
Just to give a little background, I just finished a course in MVC 5 for ASP.NET (which I really enjoyed through Visual Studio 2017), but would like something similar to that which is JavaScript based.
Thanks for any recommended resources! I want to make sure what I am diving into gives me the end goal I am looking for.
Thanks again!
On top of node.js you can use different frameworks, one of the most important is express but there are many others, look at nodeframework.
Then I suggest to use some best practices. Personally I've found really useful the following for express:

I've been tasked with creating a documentation website for some services that we expose externally. Part of my task is to find out what the best base software would be to build this site. One of my specific objectives is to determine whether or not the Liferay Portal software or its plugins are suitable for building what is primarily functioning as an API documentation website. It seems like Liferay is meant for more content-driving applications, such as news, wikis, blogs, etc.
If Liferay is suitable for this task, are there any pointers on what the general layout should be for the site?
Liferay itself is proving to be rather complicated to learn, so I figured that it'd be better to figure out if I'm wasting my time or not before really diving into learning how to use it.
At the same time, are there any better, non-commercial alternatives?
Thanks!
I am creating web portal using Liferay and I implemented a simple document browsing page. I was using amazon java libraries to accomplish that and it was quite easy(just download all of the jars, include them in your portlet library folder and AWS(AmazonS3) is ready to use). On the other, the programmatic part of creating this portals with Liferay is quite a lot. I suggest you if you don't like programming to chose another software :)
I hope this was helpful! Its just an advice not a concrete answer.
Good luck with developing your website :)
Snaps is a (rather new) web framework growing out of the Eclipse Virgo community that (will) allow dynamic, componentized web UIs by exploiting the OSGi infrastructure. Apparently it is the heir of "Slices", the previous attempt at this.
What I am wondering is whether there is any work ongoing in looking at how JSF (2) can be combined with such an approach? Is this at all possible? If so, is there any concrete work ongoing?
There is no work going on looking at JSF specifically or any other Web framework for that matter. Snaps aims to give you the dynamic runtime ability to compose your web app without restricting your choice of web framework in any way. It definitely doesn't aim to be another web framework.
I know some people have had JSF running on Virgo so I don't see any reason that you can't use it with snaps although I haven't tried it so I can't say for certain. If you do find a problem raise a bug on the Virgo project :)
Chris.
In case you're still interested:
At the Virgo formus I know there is some guy who does have it running with FancyFaces.
If you might have found another solution, would be glad to hear.

I am searching for framework references. In other words I am looking for companies, which have successfully implemented a framework solution in java web application environment (success stories). Frameworks I am interested in are JSF, GWT, Wicket and Tapestry. I wasn't able to google any results, nor to find any references at the official sites. At the end I am a bit confused if there are any. Can someone help me out?
Some more webresearches resulted in nice findings:
Wicket: http://web.me.com/jonathan.locke/JonathanLocke/Wicket.html
Tapestry: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/PoweredByTapestry and http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/SuccessStories
JSF: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/RealWorldJSFLinks
If you can find anymore, plz let me know :)
Not aware of JSF, Wicket and Tapestry based apps, but Google Wave, Adwords, Adsense are built using GWT
mobile.walmart.com, that surely has some serious traffic, is built with Wicket.
One of the reasons to go for Wicket was the complete decoupling of code and markup. The site serves three different kinds of HTML for different classes off mobile devices from the exact same code on the server.
http://www.dzone.com/links/apache_wicket_powers_mobilewalmartcom.html
Websites based on Wicket seems to be the largest list of Wicket websites out there.
For what it's worth, I was the architect on one of those sites, a financial services portal. There were three other developers, two of them were GWT fans. I haven't kept in touch with one of them, but the other has started his own company using Wicket, leaving GWT in the process. I personally don't like GWT because of the javascript compilation. Wicket has excellent ability to keep markup and code separated throughout the product lifecycle, something that is very hard to do with many technologies. I was a fan of Tapestry for a while, that is until I found Wicket.
Two other frameworks that are JVM based and worth considering are Lift (uses Scala) and Vaadin. People who love Scala swear by it, and after seeing a demo of it, I have to admit I want to start using it soon too.
I was wondering if anyone has built or know of a decent forum package for Umbraco 4.03??
I've had a little play with this but its a bit basic

I've found this article on how to integrate YAF forum but would rather have one which fits a bit better..
http://dawoe.blogspot.com/2009/02/intergrate-yet-another-forum-193rc2.html
Of course I know one answer, write or extend one of the above :) Any help would be gratefully received.
uForum is used to power the Our Umbraco community - so that's the current recommended forum package.
YAF is a fully-featured forum/bulletin-board web-application, which can be integrated with Umbraco (using an ASP.NET Membership Provider). Aside from that YAF is standalone.
Update: There is a new package called nForum.
I guess it depends on your requirements.
What features are lacking, clearly you know what you want so any guidance on what the forum should include will help.
Pretty much any asp.net based forum software would work with Umbraco. I guess the main thing would be the integration with the Membership provider in Umbraco. In this case Any forum software that could use a custom ASP.NET membership provider would integrate pretty much seamlessly.
There are plenty of opensource and commercial forum packages available for ASP.NET, just find one that matches your requirements and look at integrating it or running it alongside Umbraco.
