Is it possible to use Magento checkout on non Magento site - magento

I'm working on a non-magento e-commerce website, created with Symfony because standard e-commerce framework are too much restrictive towards the website specifications.
However i would like to know if it is possible to use Magento checkout solution as standalone because this part of the framework is compliant to the specifications.
I haven't found any attempt of that but since Magento is a quite modular i am wondering if there is any chance of doing this.

yes its possible by using magento soap api
Here's a link for reference.

Is it possible to use Twitter Bootstrap to create a Magento site?

A client wants a Magento site done, and I have never used it before. I thought, "Sure, I'll create a standard site using Bootstrap and just query the database for the products". Now that I've been looking into it, it looks like the only way to use Magento is by creating a Theme which doesn't look to be Bootstrap friendly.
Please someone tell me that creating Themes isn't the only legitimate way of creating a Magento site.
Some starting points:
http://www.bootstrapstart.com/portfolio-type/bootstrap-magento-theme/
http://magenthon.com (info and code) or demo here
https://github.com/cvaldemar/magento-bootstrap (doesn't seem too active though ?)
If this is something you are planning on doing yourself, the second link looks like a promising candidate to download, reverse engineer then cusomise!
Good luck

Is there any easy backend interface for Virtuemart 2?

I am Joomla Developer.
Is there any easy backend interface for Virtuemart 2?
Whenever I install VM2 for anybody, they are unable to understand it easily. Please guide me if there is any thirdparty extension exists which brings its own backend interface for virtuemart.
Additionally, I like Magento backend, but I don't have developing experience in Magento. So I cannot work in magento. But I like its backend. If there is any extension which brings backend interface similar to that of magento but in Joomla then I really appreciate it.
Thanks
Personally, whilst commercial, I like the backend of k2Mart:

Can we install Codeigniter in Magento?

I tried a lot with installing codeigniter in Magento, and I am doubtful now whether it is possible or not. In a critical situation. Is it possible to install codeigniter in Magento ? And can we access codeigniter files through magento? Any links or tutorials for supporting ?
Since both the framework are in PHP itself, the answer is yes. You can install codeigniter by creating a folder with CI files on it. It works. You can share session variables to control the session in between two systems.
But the question is why exactly do you want to do like so ? If you are trying to access codeigniter libraries for your magento app, then answer is no.
But, if these magento and codeigniter works independently on their own, then its fine.

Whats the Magento API for?

I plan to use Magento next year so I started browsing the Magento website. I noticed the Magento Core API and wonder what it is for? Is it something I can use to integrate parts form a running Magento installation into other applications?
Thanks :-)
Yes. You can use it to push some information in and out of Magento using SOAP XML.
