Can anyone recommend a simple, lightweight CMS gem or plugin for Rails 3 that can easily be embedded into an existing app?
I think you might find this useful: https://github.com/comfy/comfortable-mexican-sofa
It's specifically built to be a CMS plugin for your existing Rails 3 app.
Sorry for the shameless plug :)
I found Refinery CMS to be easily emebddable into my app (with some modifications).

BrowserCMS: Humane Content Management for Rails
BrowserCMS is a general purpose, open source Web Content Management System (CMS), written in Ruby on Rails. It is designed to support three distinct groups of people:
Non-technical web editors who want a humane system to manage their site, without needing to understand what HTML or even Rails is.
Designers who want to create large and elegantly designed websites with no artificial constraints by the CMS.
Developers who want to drop a CMS into their Rails projects, or create CMS driven websites for their clients.
Rich CMS is another: https://github.com/archan937/rich_cms
There's also CopyCopter for Rails from Thoughtbot: https://copycopter.com but it's more for managing copy than managing full page content
Best CMS till date
MCMS
gem install mcms
rails g mcms install
please check it

I have a website build in own php framework, complete with an elaborate product catalogue and cms system. Now I would like to add a blog and I wanted others' opinions on whether to keep using the framework and develop it as fully integrated with existing website and cms or if I should use wordpress. I am leaning towards the first option but was wondering if I'm not missing something important about wordpress that should sway me.
I have never used wordpress before so will have to learn it first to customise it fully to my requirements (will be creating custom template). I know it's a great blogging tool for people not that into code, but I'm wondering that if you do know coding, if it's still the best option.
Opinions, pros and cons will be highly appreciated.
There are several reasons why you would want to develop your own PHP blog, but also several reasons why you should use an existing framework like Wordpress.
Developing your own:
Better understanding of how things work, making it easier to customize it.
The blog is fully yours, no license applies.
Using Wordpress:
A lot easier to create blog post
You can easily install themes etc. to customize your blog.
All in all, I would recommend Wordpress, but thats just my opinion.
Go with whatever suits your needs :)

I am tasked to research and evaluate a long overdue CMS system for our dept within a large software company. For the most part we need a system that has workflows and the ability to publish static content to a specified location (app server, cdn etc...). We aren't interested in a typical CMS that let's you create templated websites. Our developers will still be creating our applications in their preferred language and will ideally pick up the static content that will populate areas of our websites from the CMS to avoid code deployments for every little content change.
Another department is doing this using Teamsite. Aside from Teamsite can anyone here recommend a CMS? I'm not too impressed with their interface (and their price tag). I found a product called Ingeniux that does what we need (multi format output) but I haven't heard much about them and need to demo their system.
While this is our main requirement, other requirements would be - average price tag (free to $20k, rather than +$100k a year), self hosted (not a hosted or cloud solution), and straightforward setup and integration process (ideally we don't want to hire a consulting company to stand up the servers etc...).
Thanks.
You could
put some of that money to fund one of this open source projects
ask the author to do custom work for you
allocate time for one of your coders to learn the technology and implement and maintain the tool you need by an open-source project.
I used, with satisfaction, for some of my work:
Ruby
NANOC
Jekyll
Webby
Middleman
Ruhoh
...And a bunch of other solutions from this big list at Nanoc website.
Node.js + Coffescript
DocPad
Also try this lightweight cms using ruby and google drive nice alternative.

I want to find free and light Web Server for WinCE.
The best of variants is I really want to find light and free ASP.NET web Server.
Or maybe if I can use Web Frameworks for Python or Ruby (maybe Ruby on Rails) or maybe I even can run something alike haskell web server (but I don't really believe it).
I don't like PHP (maybe religious reasons) but if that is the only variant of hosted web application on WinCE I would like to know if there any web server for it.
Thank you.
Padarn is a light ASP.NET web server for WinCE, but it is not free.
You could also try cross-compiling Apache with CeGCC for example, since cygwin and mingw do not support WinCE.
Another non-free option could be Pocket HPH (compact PHP processing engine designed to run on handheld devices), although it looks old and abandoned.

Can anyone recommend a language, library, framework or book which focuses on GUI programming from the perspective of a web developer?
I have experience in web development, for example HTML/AJAX/PHP/MySQL among similar technologies. However, I have never programmed my own back-end, or any kind of standalone program. Does anyone have experience making this transition, and what would I best study to help make the leap from the browser to creating programs with GUIs (primarily for Windows)?
I made the transition from client/server applications to web development. The biggest single difference that took some getting used to was the loss of state. Since the web is stateless, but desktop applications are stateful, client applications have many more interaction and interface options easily available.
The best things to study would be some straightforward desktop application frameworks. For Windows you'd probably want to start reading tutorials focused on .Net desktop applications. Start with simple walkthroughs that you can try yourself to get a feel for what you'll be getting into.
Have a look at Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It's GUIs are built with XAML, which is a language very similar to HTML.
You could also have a look at Adobe FLEX or Microsoft Silverlight, which you can use to build desktop applications.
In the short term, you could use Appcelerator Titanium to create desktops (or mobile) apps using the web technologies you already know. Pretty cool stuff, IMHO.
Assuming you are experienced from MVC design pattern, swing supports this pretty well:
http://www.javaworld.com/jw-04-1998/jw-04-howto.html
In particular you can use the spring framework with java desktop applications and have swing be the front end:

We are building a website that contains a large number of database tables that need to be edited by the CMS administrator.
Some of the tables are fed by form submissions from users on the front end of the website.
Some of the tables are purely in the CMS and are used to create custom modules on the front end of the website.
Although there is a forms module in Drupal, I think our requirements cannot be met by it.
Does anyone know of a system that allows forms to be saved to a CRUD style database with the following features?
(source: yart.com.au)
Export of all database fields.
View a summary of the records in a filterable table.
With paging
You can have one to many relationships in records eg
(source: yart.com.au)
To code this manually for 10 forms is A LOT of work. Particularly the one to many relationships. If there is a powerful module available it would save us writing one.
I have not used it at all so far, so I have no clue if it fits your needs, but the Auto Admin module seems to offer at least some of the features you are looking for.
You should look at CCK and check that doesn't meet your requirements before building something bespoke. All of your requirements can be met with a combination of CCK, Views, and a bit of tweaking.
This CRUD operations can be achieved using Drupal 7 modules like data,schema,entity,views and ctools.
Nice article is here: http://subhojit777.in/crud-data-table-in-drupal/
In-place editing for Fields is also possible using quickedit module,but Backbone.js,Underscore.js libraries are required and your Theme should support.
