I downloaded and started playing with CEF, but there doesn't seem to be any docs for it. Not even a working wiki… Am I missing something?
Most of the documentation is in CEF's header files. The binary distribution comes with docs generated from those files. It's well documented in terms of amount of content written, but I had a lot of trouble while learning to use it. The project's Wiki page contains a lot of useful content as does the cefclient sample program.
The CEF3 API documentation can be found at http://magpcss.org/ceforum/apidocs3/
and CEF1 API docuemntation can be found at http://magpcss.org/ceforum/apidocs/. These two links can be found on the Chromium Embedded framework (CEF) wiki home page: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/Home
You didn't provide a link to CEF, so I Googled it, and found the project's Web site, which features a prominent link to their wiki.
The wiki has several pages, but the first one that jumped out at me is the General Usage page that shows how to create a "fully functional embedded browser window using CEF".
So I'm not sure where you were looking, but yes, it looks like you were missing something (grin). The wiki documentation is right there.

I just got access to the new Stencil beta and I have no idea what to do. I have reviewed all of the documentation on the BC developer website, but I don't know how to proceed. I am also not sure if I will even be able to create designs in Stencil since I don't know Handlbars or json - are those programming skills required or can we still rely on CSS and HTML for most design customization? BC told me there is no support for getting set up and to ask in this forum instead.
Normally I would look under the hood of an existing theme to see how it's built and try "learning on the job" but since I can't even get access to the files, I am at a loss. I created an account on GitHub but I have never used it so I don't know where to look for the files (I did a search but there are thousands of files there and I again couldn't figure out where to start). Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can determine if using Stencil is even feasible for my projects?
Handlebars compiles serverside as HTML. You do still have stylesheets, but we are using some SASS custom functions (documented in Stencil docs).
I'd recommend taking a look here: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/getting-started-with-handlebars-js
I'm a beginner in dojo. First of all is everything javascript based? For example to create a form I have to use JavaScript or HTML tags?
Also I cannot understand their documentation and tutorials. It's very confusing.
Is there a proper website (other then dojo itself) that has good tutorials?
You can use Dojo's components's (widgets) in two ways. Programmatic and declaritive. The programmatic way (what you are talking about) is by defining widgets through the use of javascript. With declaritive you can define them using HTML markup. David Walsh has a nice short writeup and if you search for "declaritive programmatic dojo" you'll find some questions and answers on the matter:
https://davidwalsh.name/dojo-widget
Difference between programmatically vs declaratively created widgets in dojo?
Declarative coding or programmatic coding in Dojo Projects?
Declarative or programatic approach in DOJO?
If you're having trouble with the tutorials on the Dojo website, i suspect you're better off, first diving into some basic beginner javascript tutorials before trying to learn a framework like Dojo. I concur with the comment Ferry made on your question, there are no better resources than the actual Dojo website. I recommend following every tutorial, starting with the Hello Dojo tutorial and working your way up so that you don't miss out on the basic concepts which you'll need when you read the harder tutorials. Good luck!
For your first question: dojo is javascript-based platform that provide you with a basic javascript library and a bunch of basic widgets (UI controls like button, dialogue, layouts,...), and some extra things. However, you don't really have to use dojo all the time: you still can use dojo to manipulate a html form button; it's just dojo button comes with extra functionalities and might save you some time.
For the second question, I agree with iH8 that dojo website is the best place to start. There are three different ways dojo websites can help you:
Look at the tutorial: Basic steps on how to set it up and use provided functionalities as-is
Look at thetoolkit api: This provides a very detailed view of dojo javascript object (See what extra things you can do with dojo objects)
Look at the nightlytest: I found this very helpful in term of showing me what can be done outside of the tutorial (i.e. how to use things you found in the api)
Other than these, you can look at existing implementation to learn about the toolkit.
Basically, this is how I am learning Dojo. Without more-specific questions, it's hard to tell what is confusing about the tutorial. I would recommend you give it a try and post a question: everyone here will be willing to help you.
I recommend starting with some video tutorial like this.
When you understand the concept, you can try to copy and paste some code from Dojo documentation tutorials or Reference Guide, because all books are out-of-date.
Also you may find some useful information on IBM-related sites like http://www.ibm.com/developerworks because IBM invested in Dojo and uses it for its products.
If you have enough resources ($) you can take participation in Workshops (sitepen.com/workshops)
I'm used to Wikipedia's Wiki, and now that I'm using TWiki at work I really miss the ability to discuss a page outside the page but still on TWiki.
Have I missed a button or link somewhere? Is this possible?
In MediaWiki (Wikipedia and the like), every page has a discussion page associated with it. This is not the case in TWiki, at least not by default. The administrator can built something similar, but as a user, all you can do is manually create and link discussion topics.
I think you can reuse the template code in http://foswiki.org/Extensions/TalkContrib on foswiki - I've not used TWiki in years, but foswiki is a compatible fork.

I am just a beginner in Titanium and searching for few sample source code to learn from and run. Downloading and working with kitchen sink or with the API is a big pain, to understand as well as to work with.
Although everything is there in both and they have given sample but that seems like not an implementation. I just want to have some source code to learn how, when and where to use the elements? How things work, how are they integrated etc.
Usually at the Q&A section there are samples of code. Just search what you are looking for: http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions/newest
The Wiki provides examples: http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Home
Even this website provides code samples, check out the Titanium Tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/titanium
And last, but not least, there seem to be more and more code samples in the API Docs: http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest
Good luck!
As an option, you can find good application samples on CodeCanyon. They're not free but you can learn a lot by examining how to start from scratch to build an application like;
Simple Foursquare like apps
Photo gallery apps
TODO apps etc.

I found this Forging Titanium series on Vimeo.com to be one of the best. Just watch out this complete series. Beside providing you with basics and advanced limelight on elements and functionality, also provide link to many github public repository we can follow and get numerous sample codes.
How can I quickly produce a report of a website in the format:
Page Name.
- Links within the page
Page Name.
- Links within the page
Any programming or scripting language will do.
Although I prefer a solution on Windows, we have all of: Windows, Mac and Linux platforms available in the office.
Just looking for a way to do it without much fanfare.
There might be tools able to do this for you, but it isn't all that hard to put together yourself. One possible solution would be to...
Use wget (can be found for Windows) to download all HTML files, and
use some xpath tool or grep with regexps to get the title and the links from the pages.

There are loads of link analysers that will do exactly that. Here's the first I found in Google.
For something a little more interesting, Don Syme did a great F# demo in which he wrote a really simple asynch URL processing class. I can't find the exact link, but here's something similar from an F# MVP. You would need to adapt it to pull out links, and recursively follow them if you want nesting.
