What I am asking can be a bit silly and weird by anyway, I decided to ask you.
I am working as network security administrator and have knowledge and experience on cyber security as well. 2 month ago I Started my master degree on Cyber Security and now really want to continue my career on Cyber. Along with network and cyber skills I though having some programming languages in pocket will really benefit me. Shell scripting and Python are the only ones which really catch my interest.
I started with bash scripting and just wrote couple of little scripts. I wonder do you know any source which can I use for exercising. I am usually used to learn when I am actually searching and doing something. Therefore if for instance there is any page where I can find tasks for bash scripts with what I can practice and try do find solution, myself.
Thanks in advance!

You can direct yourself to :
https://cmdchallenge.com/
https://www.codewars.com/
Both sites are awesome and contain many challenges that will really help you to learn how to code and script.

I want to use windows miniFilter in my project.
I have seen the Microsoft documentation, but it seemed very hard to understand.
I have also read the GitHub examples for miniFilters, but they don't provide explanation for everything, as I want to understand what I write and not just copy and paste. Is there any beginner friendly site that can help me learn more ?
There are not a lot of great resources for getting started on this - no real tutorials or anything. The best sources are the Windows driver samples. Start with a simple one like filesys\miniFilter\nullFilter and then move up to filesys\miniFilter\passThrough to get you started. OSROnline is also a really great resource. And (shameless plug here) I have written a short, 4-part blog post on writing a register filter driver that starts pretty basic.

I'm not sure that I'm using the correct language here so I will give some examples of web sites which I believe have 'Web 2.0'look and feel
https://www.yammer.com/
http://www.heroku.com/
https://foursquare.com/
http://24sevenoffice.com/
http://www.formassembly.com
They all have big text, big buttons, plus very slick and tasteful AJAX/CSS. My question is how is this look and feel assembled? Some possible ideas I have had:
. Underlying library such as jQuery/GWT
. Handled by web framework such as Rails/Django
. Coded completely from scratch
To me all the sites have sufficient similarity that there does seem to be some type of underlying common mechanism. The reason I'm asking is that as a developer I'm wondering if I can assemble a Web 2.0 looking site using some type of tool kit.
There are common frameworks and tools to help with the development, sure. You mention two of them. However, a tool alone isn't going to do it. Not unless you just entirely conform to some kind of brown-and-serve framework. (I don't know of any off-hand.)
Good look and feel comes from good UI/UX design. I'll bet that each of those example sites you gave has a talented graphic designer behind it (either on staff or contracted for making the site) who is proud of their creative work, and simply used some tools to help facilitate that work.
I have just discovered Bootstrap and this is exactly what I was looking for

Are there any open source free VBScript libraries? I am doing a lot of windows administration and always find myself writing error prone code. Any help here?
You really should move to powershell.
I haven't heard of a sysadmin working in vbscript in quite a long time.
update
There used to be several sites that hosted script libraries, like win32scripting, but they've been rapidly disappearing due to powershell.
You might go check out The Scripting Guy. They have a section just for VBScript in their forums that may be of help.
Even 5 years after the post above was written it is still short sighted and doesn't answer the question.
Admins need to work in whatever language is available and suitable -- some of us with LARGE (1000s) server or client estates still have quite a bit of Win2003, Win2000, and even a few NT4 servers.
I dislike VBScript somewhat but write using it, since it is the only language besides CMD.exe batch that is ubiquitously available on all Microsoft systems from NT4 on forward.
Even our Win2003 servers don't typically have PowerShell.

I have spent most of my development career writing backend code, or front-end apps for used as daily business tools, by at least semi-skilled staff, e.g. order-tracking, sales capture, etc. That those I helped build peformed their tasks well is comfort enough, but I am still seeking excellence in the building of these kind of apps, versus the trendy emphasis on more personal relationships with the UI.
Can anyone recommend reading on this type of application (LOB?) on the web today? Any available examples to study?
I suggest that you read Don't Make me Think. Don't think that engaging UIs are not efficient. I would suggest the opposite.
Actually this answer has many useful links.

I'm currently trying to make some small shell-like utility for a custom script I wrote, so I can easily work with it (it's rather simple, so an interactive shell would be perfect).
Do you have any resources for me on how to create a shell in Python? I spent googling for a while, but all I could find was information about IDLE and similar Python interpreters. But I would rather want to know how to write a completely custom and command line based shell.
My approach would be hooking the stdin/out for commands, but given that the Python library offers so many great utilities, I want to make sure there if there is no better way.
The cmd module in the standard library could be a start -- if you have any trouble using it, please post more specific questions (ideally with some toy example showing what you're trying to achieve and what you're getting instead!).
You might have a look at pyparsing. It is definitely only about lexing and parsing, but that's definitely the hardest part of the problem.
