I want to create a ASP.NET Core Web Application based on .NET Famework, but the dropdown-list for choosing framework is disabled. Why is that? Is it possible to enable it somehow and choose .Net Framework here?
So there are actually 2 templates...
Clicking new projects then go to the Web in the tree view refer to the image
Using the template with in that .Net Core tree item will result in the screen you had.

I have found out that Sitecore web control rendering is not supported by Sitecore MVC, which is only supported by Sitecore web forms, appreciate if somebody give me better understanding,

You cannot mix and match Webforms/MVC in a single request, so all renderings on a single item need to be either Webforms or MVC only.
The best solution is to migrate the solution to MVC, if you can't do that all at once then build out the site section by section to move to MVC, there is no issue having both a Webforms and MVC solution running side by side, just not in the same request.
You can override the out of the box behaviour using techniques such as Mixing Sublayout with Rendering – Webforms with MVC request or Using Sitecore MVC components on WebForms pages however these are not supported by Sitecore and everything may not work as expected, but it may be an option if there is no other possibility.
I'm quite new to EmberJS framework to build Web Applications. I'm currently struggling to understand the right way (using Models, Controllers, View and Routes) to build a full-fledged web application using a Java (Spring, Hibernate) based REST API.
My current task is to create a simple registration page using EmberJS and pass on the information to a back end server using the REST API.
Can anyone guide me on this from scratch or show me few links that would help me learn?
This video was helpful when I was learning how to build an ember app with a rails rest api. Yehuda is on the rails core team and one of the primary creators of ember.js so I think he's a pretty good source of information.

I am developing mobile apps using phonegap.
My mobile app will have same functionality as like my joomla-jomsocial website.
I have to access web services using jQuery.ajax as I am using javascript and html only.
Are there any ready web services or APIs in joomla-jomsocial?
Joomla! only recently formed a working group for "Web Services" and I think you won't see any outcomes from that for a while.
As #Riccardo Zom, say your best bet will be to access the barest formats you can from each component type using the format/tmpl parameters.
If you're motivated enough you could extend existing components (core and otherwise) to return the desired format (e.g. json), in that case you should read Louis Landry's note on the changes from 1.5 era XML-RPC feature set to the 1.6/2.5 mechanism.
If you're still looking after that you may be interested in the "Joomla! API - Generic RESTful API framework for Joomla! 2.5" by Rafael Corral, it's a component (com_api) that provides a framework for creating a RESTful API for a Joomla! 2.5 site.
Unless you want to rewrite the whole component logic in your html app, you might be happy with grabbing the component output without all the extra page markup i.e. get the bare html returned from the component: just add &format=raw to the query; if you want libraries and css to be returned as well, instead add &tmpl=component
There is also (limited) support for &format=json in some core components.
I am quite new to Sitecore WCM and have been doing a lot of research and readings. Could someone please help me to clarify the following
basics of Sitecore?
I've a number of ASP.net web applications. If I convert the project to Sitecore project will it just work magically?
If I want to create new site, do I need to manually create a new site in IIS or Sitecore does it when I publish?
Are there any online training videos available, could not find a single (except Sitecore marketing demo).
If we have MVC and Web forms applications, is it possible to migrate to Sitecore?
First off, welcome to Sitecore!
Regarding your questions:
I've a number of ASP.net web application. If I convert the project to Sitecore project will it just work magically?
A Sitecore website is an asp.net web application. It just happens to start off with databases, DLLs, and web.config entries that are ready for you to get the CMS up and running. Standard .NET code works just as normal. However, part of what happens when you first setup your site as a Sitecore website is that Sitecore starts intercepting requests for pages and attempts to bind them to pages in the content tree. If a content item doesn't exist with the matching path, it won't return.
This is particularly important if you plan on just standing up your existing pages alongside new Sitecore pages. Your URLs won't initially work, and you'll have to do some configuration to get them to resolve and be ignored by Sitecore.
However, if you do NOT want to put your pages alongside the site and instead integrate them into the Sitecore solution as content items, you'll likely need to re-architect your solution. Sitecore uses 'sublayouts' (ASCX) for different components on a page, and these need to be represented in the database and the code base, and then added to content items as part of their presentation details. This can be easy, if your site is already heavily architected towards components, but sometimes you'll need to create a bunch of ASCX to represent your different pages.
Your business logic should not be affected, unless you decide to make changes to start leveraging configurations in the Sitecore database or accessing properties of the current context item. In this manner, your code should execute "out-of-the-box".
If I want to create new site do I need to manually create a new site in IIS or Sitecore does it when I publish?
Sitecore doesn't "create" anything when it publishes. Publishing is really just an action of taking the content approved in the Master database and pushing it out to the Web database for the selected target. Your IIS sites, and anything else you need for your application, you just setup as you normally would.
Are there any online training videos available, could not find a single (except Sitecore marketing demo).
I highly recommend taking the developer training that Sitecore provides. It's a very good introduction to the concepts, especially if you aren't working with folks who have a lot of Sitecore expertise. It also allows you to meet some other folks who are getting into Sitecore and you can help each other out.
If we have MVC and Web forms applications, is it possible to migrate to Sitecore?
Sitecore is a .NET application at its core, and web forms work. MVC is also supported with the most recent versions of Sitecore.
I know this question is a little old, and already answered, but I think I have some info to add.
I've a number of ASP.net web application. If I convert the project to Sitecore project will it just work magically?
Nothing is magic. If you want the content management or marketing aspects of Sitecore, plan on rebuilding your site(s) within Sitecore.
If I want to create new site do I need to manually create a new site in IIS or Sitecore does it when I publish?
Sitecore is an IIS site. When you install Sitecore, it creates an IIS site along with at least 3 databases (core, master, & web). Sitecore can have multiple subsites, but they're all built within the single IIS site that is Sitecore.

These videos may not have existed when this question was originally answered...so here's a few I found useful.

If we have MVC and Web forms applications, is it possible to migrate to site core?
Webforms and MVC are both supported in Sitecore. You will be thinking of both of them in a different way whenever you are rebuilding them in Sitecore though.
1) You can create blank solution and add existing items like sublayout, css , javascript etc and obviously need to change some codebehind. But sitecore has different database structure compared to normal web applications , so you will need to create template, items etc.
2) For sitecore , you will need to create website in IIS and make entry in your host file as follows:
local path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc find hosts file and in that file add entry as
127.0.0.1 yoursitename.com
3) For demo video you can try Sitecore channel videos for basic sitecore learning from Youtube.
I don't want WCF, I only want web service.
Thank you.
They've obscured it, but it's easy enough:
Right-click on your solution, select Add New Project.
In the Framework selection dropdown, select .NET Framework 3.5
Select the Web installed templates listing and you'll find ASP.NET Web Service Application as the last one in the list.
In other words, you can create one in .NET 3.5, but not 4. Now, that being said, it seems like it may be possible to create a .NET 4 template for VS2010, but I'm not a VS2010 guru, so that's for someone else to elaborate on.
Edited to Add: Somebody else posted a response to your question that was also a good answer, I thought, but they deleted it themselves for some reason. I don't remember their user name. I'll repeat it here.
If you create a new Web Application in the solution, you can then Add New Item, and one of the options under Web is "Web Service" at the very bottom.
The only drawback to this is that besides the web service, you also have the usual default items for a web application, namely default.aspx, about.aspx, global.asax, and site.master, as well as the folders Account, Scripts, and Styles. But you can delete these, so no problem. Also keep in mind that the web.config in the Web Application project will be different from that of the Web Service, and that the assembly bindings for the web service will point to ASP.NET v2 & v3.5 (see its web.config), whereas the service in the web application project will default to ASP.NET v4 (through its project file). I don't know if any negative implications exist for either way of working, though I suspect that both will work just fine.
If you select the framework like mentioned above to 3.5 you can select a web service application. If you want it to be targeted at .NET 4.0 framework, go into my project --> Compile --> Advanced Compile Options --> change the target framework to .net framework 4.
You can also change your compile options to target it at a x64 or x86 (32 bit) server.
web.config in the Web Application project will be different from that of the Web Service, and that the assembly bindings for the web service will point to ASP.NET v2 & v3.5 (see its web.config), whereas the service in the web application project will default to ASP.NET v4 (through its project file). I don't know if any negative implications exist for either way of working, though I suspect that both will work just fine.
Here was my resolution:
Right-click on your project name and select to Add Service Reference.
Select the Advance button at the very bottom.
Select the Add Web Reference button at the very bottom.
Proceed as usual. :)
