Does anyone know what Grooveshark.com is coded in? I mean PHP, rails, flash........?

Grooveshark developer here. Grooveshark's backend is PHP 5.6, and the front end is a mixture of a ton of Javascript and a small flash shim that handles playback, https communications and a few other one-off things that were just easier to make work in flash than javascript.
This post might be helpful:
The Tech Behind the New Grooveshark

By digging through the source it looks like PHP (PHP/5.2.14) and a TON of Javascript.

Per WikiPedia:
Grooveshark is a rich Internet
application that was first written in
ActionScript using the Adobe Flex
framework that ran in Adobe Flash. In
December 2010, Grooveshark introduced
a redesign of the site that features
an interface rewritten to use HTML5,
which makes the interface perform
faster.

I have a requirement of recording video via web cam, on my webpage. What are the available plugins for the same. My website is developed using Ruby on Rails framework

If an HTML5 solution could be suitable for you, you can take a look to WebRTC (currently supported in Chrome, Firefox and Opera).
You can find a good tutorial here:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/
The first hit on searching "webcam plugin": http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/
As it is using JavaScript it is easy to include in Rails.
Many others appear in the results ...
Another option is to use the Nimbb widget. There are a lot of tutorials showing how to embed it into a website.

I know what Mono is but I don't understand why it exists. Why do Novell sponsor the project? I ask the question because I would like to use Mono but I have concerns over its future/commitment. If I better understood why the projects exists I'd feel better about using/recommending it.
How else would any .NET code run on Unix/Linux/iOs?
It exists because Miguel De Icaza saw .NET, liked it and wanted to have it available on Linux. Knowing that Microsoft will probably not port the platform, he decided to do it himself.
Since the code is open source, it is not going away anywhere.
I don't have any inside dope, but I'm not aware of a story other than an interested party that knew Microsoft was unlikely to port .NET to *nix platforms took on the task. It started as open source and picked up Novell sponsorship after it achieved some measure of success.
I don't believe a "better" story would help you feel more comfortable about recommending it. No one knows the future, and Novell's sponsorship isn't a guarantee of success.

I'm wondering if there is any Wiki solutions that perfectly fit an API documentation and let you nicely list the end points and parameters/responses.
Any recommandations?
Thanks
take a look at MindTouch.
API Documentation is one of the ways the developer site http://developer.mindtouch.com makes use of the product
Not a direct answer to this question but definitely a good starting point to help you get answered:
I had the same questions and initially thought PBWorks since that's who Twitter originally used for their API Wiki and in the past I've used Google Sites (on the Kwwika Wiki) since it's effectively a wiki.
I'm sure that if you want a more automated solution that will allow you to auto create your wiki from a build process then there will be solutions such as Read the Docs.
All this said I think a really good starting point is WikiMatrix and their Wiki Choice Wizard.

Does anyone know why magento does not provide any manual or developer guide?
All most every framework and CMS provides an official development manual but in the case of magento I did not find any official manual which surprised me.
Learning magento is hard because they are making this thing hard.
The best resource you will find is Alan Storm's blog and he has recently written an oustanding series on the Knowledge Base called "Magento for Developers". Both of those will give you exactly what you are asking for in terms of customizing Magento. First, you must know the framework, then you can understand how to customize and extend it. Otherwise you are just hacking.

I'm wondering if Google search is aware of tags such as <nav>, <aside>, <section>, etc. that are being added by HTML 5?
My navigation comes before my content and I have too many links in it for good SEO. I'd like to use <nav> if Google recognised it rather than using js or a css work around.
Thanks,
Denis
You can use HTML5 tags like even now, see Mads Kjaer article. Don't wait for google to be ready, use it now!
But until Google recognises those tags stick to following current SEO rules. Move your content to the beginning of the code and navigation to the end!
Probably nothing yet, since I don't believe any of those tags are implemented right now, and HTML5 is far from being a standard yet.
Has this now changed? Is it safe to add HTML5 to the start of the page and not impact SEO? Is google 'aware' of these tags?
