I am a beginner in Sharepoint and I have experience of working with .Net frame work .The problem is how to use Visual Studio 2010 and Sql server in Sharepoint.
Whether it have a web config file where we write the Sql Connection like that or we have to use other things in Sharepoint.
How to use the Stored procedures in sharepoint.
How to use the Authentication and Authorization process in the sharepoint.
Whether there is any way of usage of MVC architecture in the sharepoint
Well Thank in advance for your answers.
All your questions will be answered if you learn Sharepoint However, yes you can develop for Sharepoint in visual studio, connecting it with SQL Server (Sharepoint needs a database) and you can use Stored Procedures.
I strongly suggest that you search for some resources to help you get started with Sharepoint Development and/or administration to get the full idea; here are some resources (to name a few) to help you get started:

If I have a requirement of displaying the a content on all the pages inside a header, Whats the best way to do that in an SharePoint 2013?
I am working on a master page that will be using the design manager and there is possibility of using the same master page in the SharePoint online too. The reason why I want to know what is the best way, when I use this same master page in SharePoint online I would like avoid redoing that entire coding for getting a dynamic data from the web service.
Several ways that I have been planning is below
- User control method
- Web part method, but requires server side coding which I doubt can used in online version
This is a complete dynamic data that will be retrieved by a web service and no internal SharePoint data be used.
Thanks for reading

If its possible to consume web-service using jQuery/Ajax call you can go with that
Or else if you want to use c#, might need to go with provider hosted app feature (sharepoint 2013)
You can create a Visual Web Part for SharePoint 2013 Online.
Your web part will be contained in a Sandbox Solution which you will develop locally. Once development is complete you will upload the Solution Package created by Visual Studio to SharePoint Online.

On the main page home.aspx, I would like to query some data from Oracle database.
I've carefully looked for a such option, but I cannot find anything releated to it.
Can someone please guide me?
Thank you.
Install the Oracle connector and register it as safe in the web.config of the SharePoint Web. Use it like any other sql connector but with OracleConnection as you should.
I myself would have chosen a bit different approach and developed a webpart instead. If you develop and deploy a webpart project in SharePoint 2010 any used modules should be properly registered automatically during the deployment. Start with webparts here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ee513148.aspx
And if you don't know what the above means you probably shouldn't mess with SharePoint that way! (Sorry but it's true)
I am an experienced ASP.NET C# developer who is investigating using Sharepoint for document management for one of my clients. They want an intranet site with blogs and other stuff in addition but this will need to adhere to their brand guidelines.
Apart from the faff of setting up a working development environment to what extent do you get document management 'out of the box' with just using Windows Sharepoint Services? (the client understandably would rather not line Microsoft pockets further if possible)
Or put another way, how long would it take to add document management to an ASP.NET site?
Thanks

WSS will give you all the document management capabilities that you need. If you pair it up with Search Server Express (which is also free), youget a complete solution for zero investment. We've even based a company portal of a major corporation on that. Doing it yourself in ASP.NET is a waste of time to say the least. The SharePoint platform gives you an enourmous value and the learning curve is actually not that tough
You definitely don't want to go and implement something like this yourself when a freely available (and powerful) solution like Windows SharePoint Services already exists. For most requirements I'd say the features in WSS are enough, but it really depends on what your client is looking for. For example you get:
Support for versions of documents
Exclusive check-out
Management of content types
Integration with Office applications
Meta-data
If you need to support records management scenarios, then you'd need features found in the SharePoint Server product. I'd start with WSS and see how far that gets you.
I would highly recommend looking at SharePoint Foundation 2010 over Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. It's the latest version of the basic SharePoint infrastructure (with the obligatory name change!).
SharePoint Foundation 2010 is a lot easier to work than WSS in terms of deployment, management and, especially, development. Plus there are new features in Foundation that you can start using.
Don't forget that SharePoint Designer 2010 is also free and is a great tool for customizing SharePoint.
Some links to get you going:

We currently have some c# code that runs and imports data from a number of opml feeds and stores it in several sql server tables.
We are working in a moss environment and I am thinking the Business Data Catalog may be able to be utilised to make this process more robust/efficient.
Can anyone suggest if it can?
Yes it can, since the BDC is there spcifically to be able to use external data within sharepoint. You will need to have a SharePoint Enterprise edition license to user the BDC though...
I would like to start developing a simple Workflow application in Sharepoint. What files should I download?
SharePoint Server 2007 SDK?
SharePoint Server?
SQL Server?
Visual Studio?
other?
Are they all required for workflow development?
I do not have SharePoint anywhere, please include its components in your answer.
If you don't have SharePoint installed, the free WSS 3.0 version is available for download from Microsoft. Follow these steps to install in a single server environment. It will install a basic version of SQL Server. Note this is suitable for prototyping only, not a production deployment, due to restrictions in the basic install.
Then use SharePoint Designer to create the workflows, free from Microsoft. There is no need for any other software. This allows you to configure workflow against a particular list in your SharePoint site with a wizard-like interface. See this topic on Office Online for more information.
If you need to develop a reusable workflow that can be deployed to many different sites or a production SharePoint instance then this is a much larger time investment. Start by reading one of the many other questions on this site for "getting started with SharePoint" that will give resources to how the product works. Be warned: there's a reasonable learning curve. Once you have a solid understanding, you could follow it up with a book such as Professional SharePoint 2007 Workflow Programming (first search result).
Another "warning" on designer...
The workflows you create there are allways fixed to a single list, and you cannot deploy them to a production server. So the "reusable" part from the above answer even includes a "portable" component.
Also those workflows are very static, since they only contain some speciffic actions that you can perform. (So no custom code etc).
