At the moment, I write a WCF Service that gives the following functionality:
Videoupload and -download
Usermanagement
Groupmanagement
Filemanagement
A forum
Presencemanagement
As database I use a SQL Server 2012 from Microsoft.
The service gets called via REST, so this would not be the problem.
My question is, what advantage can I get with node.js or better said, is there any advantage?
The biggest advantage is in my point of view, that I am fully platform indipendent. Are there any other advantages?

Update, I posted a new question here https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/188926/migrate-wcf-to-node-js
You get the usual advantages and disadvantages Node.js has.
I.e.:
Platform independence
Everything is asynchronous
You have the same language for the backend as for the HTML frontend
...
Basically, the question whether you can benefit from Node.js IMHO comes down to whether you need to scale pretty much, and if you have lots of I/O to do.
If the answer to both is 'yes' then Node.js may be a pretty good catch for you.
PS: Completely off-topic, but - are you Knerd from the discussion forum of winfuture.de?

Note: I have been out of touch with the PHP world for quite a long time. I am primarily a Python developer.
I have to build a small app in PHP5. Please suggest me a lightweight framework which:
Has MS SQL Server Support that runs on Linux as the app will be running on Ubuntu.
Is fast to learn, use and setup.
Performance is not a critical issue. As the app will be used on a private LAN by about 10 people for data entry mainly.
Suggestion about a templating engines will also be appreciated
Regards
Let's kill off the easy question first - by tempting, I'm assuming you mean templating. If so, Smarty is usually a very good contender as it is simple to learn and very powerful.
Now, for the framework. A wide variety of PHP frameworks have switched to PDO for SQL requests, which means that most of them will easily accomodate MS SQL. CodeIgniter does, so does CakePHP last time I checked.
Ultimately, pick what you know rather than picking something that looks fancy, unless you need the extra features. The learning curve will be smaller.

I've been learning PHP OOP for quite a while and I've loved getting to know the language, finding solutions to problems and so forth.
Although, quite often, people keep recommending different frameworks for me to start using. I can imagine using a framework is more efficient, time effective and so forth but It seems to take quite a lot of the fun out of things.
My next challenge is to create a fully functional tutorial website and blog.
My question is, do you use a PHP framework and should I really start using one?
I was also debating whether to use CodeIgniter or CakePHP...

Does someone know a free web-based test case management software? I looked around in the internet and on some comparisons, but either they are expensive as hell or looking bad as hell ... (basic HTML tables).
Thanks for your hints!
I also tried for same but as u said no tool can fulfill requirements so i am using Test Point Metrics approach. It is best approach in any environment. By this approach not only we can do unit and integration testing but also validate the requirements. Time for writing Test Point Metrics is just after the Requirement understanding
A template of Test Point Metrics available here:
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/80205542/Test-Plan
And a comprehensive review on such tools available here:

Interested in some opinions on whether SQL is becoming obsolete. At my place of work, ORMs (in particular, Doctrine) are growing more popular for our web dev projects, and early indications seem to be suggesting that it's capable of doing pretty much everything we need for these small to medium sized apps (haven't yet had any major reporting requirements though). Is this the future of data modelling for web dev projects? (Apologies in advance if this is not the forum for this type of question).
SQL is not obsolete nor is it becoming so. There are plenty of programmatic interfaces that make it less of a requirement to learn it in the early stages of application development, but nothing replaces good knowledge about it.
It is also interesting to note that several NoSQL backends support a subset of SQL as an interface to them. It will be a long time before it goes away.

I am using WIX at the moment, but keep on running into limitations (such as ability to expand properties as the value of another property). Also not sure if I ran into a bug with the FileSearch element, because it is not working as expected (does not find a file that is definitely there). I can go the route of using custom actions built into a dll, but was just wondering if there is a beter way.
I think the best tool (maturity, features, documentation, easy-of-use) is currently AdvancedInstaller. I'm not usually recommending commercial tools but this one is really good value for money.
They also have freeware edition for basic needs.
I have been using Installshield almost a decade by now.
