I know html and css only. Should I build on top of a wordpress site so I can reuse the current CMS, or should I build the site from scratch and add CMS plugins later?
It depends what functionality you need and what time you've got available. I agree with Brendan in that you will learn more building it yourself from scratch. The same could be said for anything though - think how much you'd know about building and mechanical engineering after building your own house and car from scratch.
Using open source tools and platforms will allow you to get a working site up and running much much quicker. If you take the time to learn the system rather than just grab a theme and smash in a load of plugins in then it will stand you in good stead for eventually building your own stuff. Just my 2c.
If you know only html and css, work on top of wordpress. You can have account on Wordpress.org, but they do not allow major changes in the site.
A step by step guide will be:
install wordpress package on your server.
look for free themes and
install on your server modify the theme using the editor, reinstall
the theme if something goes wrong.
install plugins to enhance site
experience.
I got my site working like that, keep experimenting, wordpress is fun. :)

I am working on a team which is making a website similar to, say, Instagram. Similar in the sense that we are employing similar technologies in the back end, but the concept has no relation to Instagram.
Anyway, I was reading this article here which describes Instagram's compete stack:
What Powers Instagram: Hundreds of Instances, Dozens of Technologies
I'll be honest - I was quite overwhelmed by the number of different technologies they employ. What I want to know is that is it necessary to start with so many different and specific technologies to make something which can sustain a lot of traffic, and continue to work just fine?
Currently, we are working with an Apache web server, MySQL database, Django/python framework, HTML/CSS/Javascript front end, and Ajax to make things more dynamic - you know, the works. We are aiming to utilize Amazon Web Services to host our project. Our project is being built on Linux machines (Ubuntu).
Do we need to use a lot of other software packages/tools to ensure our website is top-notch? It is fully functional from our perspective. This may seem like a novice question, but we are novices relative to Instagram developers.
Start simple. Specialize as you have need.
Instagram is a MASSIVE property, and serves a lot of traffic under uncommon circumstances. Don't take their infrastructure as the way to start things. Start with what works, and then as you find things don't work, replace them.
As web projects grow and mature over time, they will often incorporate more and more specialized technologies and architectures to accommodate their specific needs. Don't take their infrastructures as a template, but rather, as a lesson to expect to grow and evolve your infrastructure as your product evolves.
Measure everything. Know where you need to get better. Iterate. GOTO 1. :)

I have to develop the game so that with same code (or may be few lines of change in code) will works in ANDRIOID and IOS, Blackberry (optional) or Windows (if possible).
My Objectives are:-
Most important - I need to package as native apps
Good graphics speed with HTML5 and CSS3 or may be some other language
Provide Gaming Engine needs (a native engine like Unity 3D or Cocos
Optional - can they do more than Android/IOS - like Tablet, Windows Phone, BB10, and > Desktop (Browser/Windows App store app)
Can anyone help me to evaluate which is best
PhoneGap
appMobi
Ludei
Corona
GameSalad
Shiva
Unity
Stencyl
Marmalade may be something else?
Right now I am open for 2D simple games but yes in future I also need to work on 3d context based games too.
PhoneGap isn't a 2D/gaming JS framework. It will help you just to build the bridge between your JS code and the native controllers of your device.
GameSalad isn't so bad but not really flexible. If you want to do advanced stuff, you'll feel stuck in its environment.
Cocos2D released a JS framework that works pretty well
http://cocos2d-javascript.org/
Or GameQuery with a lot of impressive demos

I have html/css of a website and i want to integrate that website into joomla 2.5 (Template)
Then how to integrate template in joomla plz let me know?
You could try this - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/data-import-a-export/16538
Or directly this service - http://www.htmltojoomla.com/
And than you could try this to automatically migrate from 1.5 to 2.5 - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/11658
There are a great number of tutorials available for helping with template creation for Joomla. Here is a Joomla Link - good links within that. It's for 1.6 which was a stepping stone to 1.7, which is now 2.5.
Here is another tutorial
You could also read up on this tutorial
After reading up on those you should have at least a good basic understanding how of the joomla template is made up and built in 1.6/1.7/2.5. I hope that helps!

Why we need RIA ? I didn't see any benefits from RIA？ it need a plugin to run it, this will bring headache to its user, compared to the regular html page.
Thanks.
RIA, or Rich Internet Applications, came as a ready solution to the problem of slackened Web browsing and low customer conversion rate.
RIA offers richer functionality by making use of HTML widgets available on standard browser-based Web applications.
Rich Internet Applications are providing users a multi-dimensional experience.
With the use of RIA, a part of the application runs directly within the users’ Web browser, allowing automatic navigation. It is a major improvement on traditional HTML and has transformed the static database of a website to a multi-functional online experience. Now, shoppers can see, “feel” and even try products online. RIA ensures large scale business returns and repeat visits, giving a boost to online business.

Lets look around for famous programming languages and their runtime environments and frameworks...
C, C++ are hard and complex for a
small and simple application.
Java is going to be a commercial
stuff for Oracle.
PHP is good but only about web.
C#, VB.NET and commonly .NET
Framework is Microsoft product.
Mono project? A few people trust it
as i saw!
Python and ruby and ... They are good
but not good enough!-
I hope i don't forget any other famous language!
My question is:
Does Open Source World Need A New Great Programming Language?
This question will probably be closed as subjective but here's my subjective view anyway:
Definitely not, the open source world is already far too fragmented already and has more than enough languages.
There are already fantastic open source communities around Java, Python, Ruby and PHP. All are great languages for the domains that they are designed for.
There are also some great upcoming languages such as Scala, Clojure etc.
It's a waste of time trying to be perfectionist about what language to use since everyone has a different idea of "perfect" and the value in a language lies in it being well used and providing an open, comprehensive platform for development, not in in being the "perfect" language for just two or three people in the world.
