I am pretty much good with MVC 3 and now have been searching to integrate my application using Umbraco CMS and I have Installed it in my solution but do not know how to integrate this and how to Use it.
Umbraco has a rich and helpful community.
You can refer to the following links for help:
https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Mvc/
https://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2012/10/30/getting-started-with-mvc-in-umbraco-410/
The first link refers to Umbraco community on which you can ask questions and get perhaps a quicker response.

I have an MVC6 web site and am looking to simplify content management such as add an ability to edit content online instead of via HTML or database. It is possible to do this all manually via creating models, controlled and pages allowing to edit the data. But I'm afraid that it would be like inventing a bicycle.
Are there any tools that can be installed to an exising MVC6 app and add basic CMS functions?
I'm building one, hoping to launch end of June. I could let you have a preview of an MVC 5 version right now as I'm looking for feedback, but MVC 6 might be available late May early June if that is a suitable timescale. The CMS is a series of NuGet libraries, and its clean, powerful and highly extensible. One of the design priorities is for it to be straightforward to add to an existing site. Have a look at the first version of the site for the CMS
I have an excellent idea of making a forum. And for that I have learnt some HTML, CSS and JS (what else should I learn?). While learning I found that Webmatrix is a great tool for making websites. I have made a wordpress site using webmatrix. I see it has many more options like joomla, drupal etc. Is there any option through which I can make a forum?
If yes which one should I choose?
I have already searched a lot for it but found no relevant result.
Are you looking to install a forum someone else has already written, or build your own from scratch? If you're looking for an out of the box forum, I would suggest installing phpBB from the app gallery. You can get there in WebMatrix by going New -> App Gallery -> Search for phpBB.
If you're looking to build one with ASP.NET Web Pages from scratch, I would suggest starting with the docs here:
http://www.asp.net/web-pages
A great example to follow for this path is here:

Hope this helps. Happy coding!
If I am creating a ASP.NET Website, how i can add blogging module using webmatrix?
The easiest way to add blogging to an ASP.NET site with WebMatrix is to use one of the applications in the app gallery. I suggest taking a look at Umbraco:

Here are some links for help getting started:

You can also take a look at Orchard, another CMS written in .NET:

Please let me know the best extension to integrate moodle with joomla.
Here is a full list of available Joomla-Moodle integration. The pros and cons of each solution is also described in the same page:
http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Integrations#Joomla
About 9 months ago I integrated Joomla & Moodle and at that time there was only one such plugin, called Joomdle:
http://www.joomdle.com/
It's free and support is very good. I recommend it.
I am starting a project with Sitecore, I have looked for different possibilities. I have some experience with MVC but I don't understand why you want to combine this with Sitecore (6.4).
What are the benefits? Are there any examples of the implementation of (the code of) this (not the configuration on: http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/64/integrating%20an%20asp.net%20mvc%20web%20application%20in%20sitecore%20cms-usletter.pdf)?
Or why shouldn't I use MVC with Sitecore?
So when should I use Sitecore 6.4 with MVC3 and when not? And are there any (code)examples?
Thanks in advance!
I've successfully implemented my own MVP implementation using Sitecore. MVP is a bit more forgiving than MVC, and can easily be integrated into web forms based applications. I used T4 templates to generate Models directly from Sitecore templates using the built-in webservices which worked really well.
Sitecore doesn't support MVC yet (in the recommended release), and trying to make it work is probably not worth the effort. I believe they are working on a version that supports MVC properly, which may be the link you provided. However it's probably also very new and there is a lot of functionality in the old version that relies on web forms. I'd like to see it working under MVC in an official capacity for a few more iterations.
Implementing patterns such as MVC and MVP are all about separating concerns and making your presentation layer unit testable. It also encourages more elegant design.
Just reading the doc it looks like this is a guide for running Sitecore in parallel with MVC. I can't see anything about new rendering mechanisms for Sitecore, which would make templating difficult in anything other than web forms. It would however allow you to use the Sitecore API to build your own templates via MVC Views, but you would loose the inline editing functionality that you get out-of-the-box with web forms.
Using mvp is probably the simplest way to go. I wrote a blog post about it here.
However, we have used MVC3 with Razor before and it worked very well. The only issue is you lose the ability to use Page edit mode as you have to do some hacking of sitecore to get it to work. I'm contemplating writing a blog post about it if people are interested.
Just to follow up.. MVC is now supported in 6.6, which will be released on November 5th 2012. We just saw a demo from John West at the Sitecore Symposium and it looks like a great framework. One of the best things about it is that you can use MVC side-by-side with Web Forms. You don't have to make an all-in bet for MVC, you can just slowly migrate or build new components in MVC, while still running Web Forms throughout your site.
