Hello I'm about to implement responsive design for a major companies primary website which gets about 14 million unique visitors a month. I'm setting up the basic front end architecture and was wondering on any ideas and techniques that could make life easier. Was looking into backbone for mvvc, Zurb foundation, respond js for ie8, replace js for reducing http calls, GUI minifier...any suggestions that have made everyone's life easier after going down the same path??
Thanks
I currently have a platform that runs the same UX on chrome, ie8+, ff, opera, safari, ios, and android.
I would say do a lot of testing, and make sure to only use cross browser implementations.
Try not to be too cutting edge, or you will drown yourself trying to spotfix the environments which do not support those features. http://www.caniuse.com is a nice resource.
Avoid using explicit sizing.

Our team is starting to use ui-router and it seems VERY GOOD so far. We are taking advantage of being able to fit templates into views within views. Prior to this our team was at a loss as we could not see how to get working some parts of our application that involved views inside views. We are currently using the following version:
* State-based routing for AngularJS
* #version v0.0.1 - 2013-04-15
There does not seem to be much commit activity lately, I don't see a roll out plan.
Is it wise or crazy to start using this code in a small application that will be in production in 3-4 months. Does anyone have any ideas where this project is heading. Are we crazy for using it now or should we use an alternative. If so then what is the alternative?
I've been using it in a pretty big application for more than 5 months now.
It works super well and the documentation is also great.
I filled a bug when I started using it and it was resolved few days after.
I've posted some questions on their github and they were answered almost immediatly.
So yes, go on, use it. There is no better angularJS router anyway.

Will using plugins like the one for Facebook connect by Webtechnick slow down performance drastically? If not, what will be the extent of damage to the speed of the application?
Like Oldskool said - it depends on the plugins you are including.
I can tell you from experience, that webtechnicks Facebook plugin does not create an excessive burden on the application.
However, other plugins that you may be including, might. Depending on how they hook in to your application, and what kinds of processing/queries are being executed, will all add up.
I would suggest installing the CakePHP DebugKit to analyze the performance of your application at a relatively high level. It gives you quite a bit of information, so check it out.
Hope this helps.

Is it good to build a high traffic sites using CakePHP? I am using CakePHP for several projects, but they're very low traffic. Any examples of such site or how can I improve the performance?
This video probably sums up the answer for you (and gives a lot of good details / information) on "CakePHP at massive scale on a budget"
It talks about how they use CakePHP on VERY HIGH traffic site, how it worked, and how it ran...etc.
I believe it was on 1.2 or 1.3 as well, which is significantly slower than 2.0, so - yes - CakePHP is a completely valid option for high-traffic sites. Obviously sites like Facebook will have their own lighter, in-house framework, but - I think that's a problem not worrying about until you reach that point (and by then you'll be a millionaire anyway and won't care) :)

I'm a .NET/Flex web/windows developer about to make the plunge into mobile development. I was wondering what toolkit other mobile developers use to build their applications.
Is there any toolkit that works on all mobile devices, that provides a rich interface, preferably with touch capability? Ease of development would be a bonus.
What framework do you recommend? What are its advantages and limitations?
Your question is far more generalized and covers a broad view of mobile development. Mobile development can be of many types depending on many factors like:
Execution environments
Platform development environment
You can check the Wikipedia page for a generalized idea of what a mobile development can be and what types of developments can be done for what.

Are there any tools for Mobile Website (not Mobile Application) Development?
For computer websites, CSS grids like Blueprint CSS are used. Is there any thing similar for the mobile version?
There's lot of talk about HTML5 + CSS3 + Javascript - a combination thats going to transform Mobile Websites. Not sure how true. Any good tutorials or starting points that you could suggest.
Thanks.
For touch devices jqtouch is a good solution. There are also commercial ones like Sencha Touch.
Check out a responsive framework like zurb or bootstrap. If you stick with what the frameworks have, you can have one codebase of the site that works in mobile browsers also.
