What do the collective beleive to be the best platform to use as a backend to AJAX / Flex / Silverlight applications and why?
We are undergoing a technology review and I would like to know some other opinions.
Is It Java, Grails, Python, Rails, ColdFusion, something else?
There is no definitive answer. However, I would choose a light solution, like Python or Rails, over Java or ColdFusion.
You may want to investigate C# ASP.NET + Silverlight combo. Microsoft made it highly integrated, which is double-edged sword. But in many cases this helps.
You may also want to review existing solutions / applications / startups. Don't ditch PHP up front, there are many existing components for it. And don't overestimate the impact of server-side technology choice on success.

Can someone explain why is React so popular?
My understanding is that it helps with the V part of MVC design pattern for apps and is useful as its JS so can be used for UI perhaps in general.
Why would it be better than SPA (not sure I get what this means exactly, i.e. just using Javascript? - Real technical advantages of React Native over Web)
Also, it was created by Facebook so perhaps there is added benefit/functionality through that (if anyone can provide specifics that would help.
But what are the specific technical advantages/efficiencies about React is so advantageous and helpful to developers?
As an example, say I work for a bank and am designing a bank account app - how would React be useful over an alternative?
So it basically depends upon what type of application you are making . Few benefits that I found with react are:
It is based on the concept of virtual dom (main benefit of it): you can read more abt it from https://reactjs.org/docs/faq-internals.html
Easy to learn as mostly it is javascript, ES6 compared to Angular latest versions
Good community support
However, React alone is of no good use for big applications. So ultimately you have to use some state management tool like redux/ flux with it

Hi am java developer with decade of experience with java/j2ee development, I got a chance from my organisation to do course and certification in bluemix or softlayer , and am confused what to choose. Any suggestions guys
This is really up to what you want to do and what you are comfortable with. SoftLayer is an Infrastructure as a Service Provider. This means that you as the customer are responsible for the Operating System updates and configuration, Middleware, and applications and services that you want to use.
If you would rather focus on just the code and don't really need to tweak the underlying OS or software stack than I would say Bluemix is the way to go as it is really more focused on Developers.
Really though it comes down to what you ultimately want to do with the platforms.

I want to develop an ERP application. What is the best framework to use. Am good with Codeigniter and ready to learn a better framework. Plus, the application will be used in a a large organization. I have read many forums but can't end up with a concrete reason why I'd prefer one over the others.Is there an alternative programming language which is not necessarily web based? Any idea will be highly appreciated.
try laravel first as it is modern and has a lot of support. Go on the irc channel and it is a great place. zend will take a lot longer to build and plan.
if you want a proof of concept, you can get it up in a few days in laravel. then you can decide on where you want to take it from there.

I am looking to develop an application as a personal project. What I have in mind is a network-based application that would entail writing code for a typical client-server architecture using TCP Sockets as well as a heavy use of GUIs.
I believe I have quite a few choices: Swing in Java, PyQt, PyGTK, wxpython and the like in Python.
I was just wondering if anyone could direct me to which language would be better in the above respects.
I would suggest you go for JavaFX. It comes with the JDK and has a lot of good features.
Plus, it can inter-operate with Swing, backwards and forwards. It allows you to use CSS to pretty-paint your UI. t gives you best of both the worlds.

I'm intending to design (and provide a reference implementation for) a new Swing Rich Client Framework. My job and personal experience covers many project-specific Swing client frameworks as well as the Eclipse RCP, and every one of them had some original and clever concepts, but also drawbacks and rigid realizations.
My plan is to incorporate the best of those concepts and features into a new framework whose core is very open and extendable.
For my must-have-features list, I'm counting on your input and hope you can share some concept pearls & diamonds you've encountered in other frameworks, or features you always wanted to have or have in a better way.
The framework is intended
for very simple to very complex and sophisticated projects
for clients that need full i18n
for richt clients that execute some or all of the non-presentation logic on the server
to be very lightweight
to be easy to learn and use
Thanks in advance for sharing your insights :)
Docking views / windows supporting predefined layouts! I have not found any good, easy to use, stable docking framework for java.
