Umbraco vs DotNetNuke with own template - html

I would like to ask you to which one from this two systems i can easier implement my own template? I have ready template of my web page and i want to integrate it with one of this systems, my template contains some js code.

If you want to do it easy, I prefer to use Umbraco, because DNN for now, it is powerful and complex solution.And it will take more time for integration.
If your website really really simple, most probably, you can build website with Umbraco without any line of custom code c#.

Using polymer.dart to build portable web components

I'd like to use polymer.dart to build a set of portable web components that can be embedded in any random html page (including pages outside of any dart project). The idea is that a customer could embed my polymer.dart elements on his html pages without the customer needing to create a dart application. I would think this would be an obvious and straightforward thing to do - but after going through many tutorials and instructional pages, and reading through lots of dart/polymer.dart documentation, I haven't found any explanation of how to go about this. Presumably the dart/polymer code would have to be compiled to javascript for inclusion on the customer's html page. Could someone comment on if this is possible, and if so, provide an explanation with examples of how to go about it? This dart/polymer.dart newbie would be grateful for any assistance.
I don't think this will work with Dart.
You need to run pub build over a Dart application to get a deployable result.
I guess this would work better with JavaScript Polymer elements.
There are plans to support this scenario but I guess it will still take a while.

HTML Layout/Templating

I am building a website where i'm looking to create html templates which contain placeholders where i'll be able to inject pages/content, menus, etc.... I really like AngularJS which has good support for this but am thinking that it might be a bit of an overkill for what i'm building. There is a chance some parts of the application will eventually be ripped out and run standalone and so dont want to tie the html/javascript to a library which requires so much framework specific syntax. Are there any other, simpler libraries, that will allow me to do this? thanks in advance

KnockoutJS is pretty lightweight and also includes a templating feature.
I wouldn't just dismiss angularjs because it seems like a heavy framework. There are very simple ways to use it without using any of the "advanced" features like routing, creating services, creating directives, etc. You can simply have a controller and use the built in directives to do a lot of powerful things on a single page. Angular is also pretty small and is easily bootstrapped with the ng-app tag anywhere in your DOM.

Is there a convenient way to prototype future structure of View layer of MVC framework (Rails or like) on pure HTML?

My "Rails friends" have a situation when their UI designer is beginning his work on prototyping UI screens on his own - their Rails programmer is busy and is going to join this work later, probably much later.
I know, it is easy to ask UI designer the learn Rails rendering mechanism, so he could begin prototyping on Rails, but I am interested,
is it possible to setup views structure using partials (reusable pieces of HTML views) using just pure HTML, without any ruby code inside?
The only approach I see is to use SSI. Are there any other options?
What is needed is simply a possibility for one html-file could have a string like
<whatever include other.html ...>
which would include the contents of other.html inside its body.
This way, a future project can be divided logically on changeable/nonchangeable parts without any Ruby/Php code for partials.
UPDATE 1
The quoted wiki page about SSI has Client Side Includes section that suggests using object tag which seems to work
<object type="text/html" data="test.html"></object>
One suggestion is to use Sinatra, which is a simple and quick web framework for static sites.
It's easy to start using Sinatra even for a beginner. However, even if the UI man doesn't know and don't want to study any coding, he can still utilize it by planning the partial names and ask the developer to setup it for him. All he need to do later is to fill each blank templates and add JS CSS image assets.
Benefit of Sinatra:
Friendly to static sites
Simple to use
Lots of templating language to use, same as Rails
The partials/templates can be ported to Rails later with zero efforts!!!

Need best MVC 4 Web API Grid

Could any one please suggest the best MVC4 WEB API Grid ?
Right now we are using Mustache templates to display Data.
Current App: MVC 4 Web API, C#.Net, Visual Studio 2012, Mustache templates
Client wants Mustache templates to be replaced with nice grid with all the search and sorting features.
Datatables.net provides a lot of functionality and is widely used.
I've had success using jqgrid - a lot of functionality and demos for mvc -
http://www.trirand.com/blog/
Datatables, jqgrid, kendoUI etc.. they will in the long term cause you extreme frustration and unhappiness.
Best thing to do is really make data LOOK like a grid, you can have complete control and really understand what is going on and do sorting and paging etc.. Use Bootstrap for CSS and make ajax calls to Web Api.
Angular is really nice, but you can start without Angular. I've been on 40 projects in which the 3 I mentioned caused a lot of headaches for many people including myself.

guide on how to kick start template based flash website?

I'm very new to flash and as3 design patterns. But I can read and write as3 quite ok, i've created small widgets with that. I've developed several web sites using php and also python.
Now for a educational cd-rom project i'm working on, i've basically designed all templates (A home page, a generic page with navigation and a sidebar - kind of like a wordpress blog). I have all the data for the cdrom on word files, which i intend to place on xml files.
My question is what is the best way to start a project like this? Can anyone guide me to a template or something that can be used for kickstarting this? kind of like a wordpress (without the admin)? Or am i on this all wrong? Can someone please help
The Gaia Framework may be useful to you for this project.
