Visual Studio 2013 SPA Template Javascript documentation - visual-studio-2013

Does anyone know of any documentation or worked examples of building on the Visual Studio 2013 SPA template (as of Jan 2014)? I am particularly interested in the general architecture of the Javascript code, how this is structured the changes needed when adding new controllers and areas etc. I am relatively new to Javascript and JQuery but not software development in general.
When I search on-line for "ASP.NET SPA template" there are lots of hits for Hot Towel and other templates and the VS2012.2 SPA template which seems to be structured differently but I have found nothing related to building on the vanilla SPA template that comes out of the box with Visual Studio 2013 Professional.

Web essentials not showing typescript preview

I must be missing something really basic. I'm playing with Typescript. Based on this link: http://vswebessentials.com/features/typescript I thought that Web Essentials should be giving me a split-pane window so that I could observe the javascript that is being generated for me.
I have my typescript file, but no joy from Web Essentials. Should the preview pane show up automatically, or is there something I need to do? (I explored all of the Web Essentials menus, and the link above doesn't say anything about activating the feature.
Setup:
Visual Studio 2015 w/ Update 1
TypeScript for Visual Studio installed (version 1.7.6.0 (latest as of
today))
Web Essentials 2015.1
The TypeScript preview pane has been removed from Web Essentials 2015 due to continuously running into conflicts with the TS compiler when new versions come out.
This is a known issue and hopefully the typescript team will add the feature into the TS tooling in the future.

Sharepoint template missing in Visual studio components

I have got 4 components of visual studio 2010 express
1)MS Visual Basic 2010 express
2)MS Visual C#
3)MS Visual basic
4)MS Visual Web Devoloper.
But none of them provide me Web part templates for sharepoint 2010. Which one would I need for this?
Do I need a proffessional? or even a Visual studio 12?
It looks like you need to have Visual Studio and SharePoint installed on the same machine in order to develop for SharePoint:
Chris Hopkins' Blog
I can tell you from personal experience this is true. I've always had to install Visual Studio onto a SharePoint server when I wanted to write new solutions for SharePoint.
If you are simply trying to edit a page layout or master page, or some other static type of content in SharePoint, you can use many tools to do so. I've successfully edited things with NotePad++ from my client PC. As long as you have the permission for the library where those things are kept, you can make changes.
I originally thought you meant developing SharePoint SOLUTIONS, by which I mean additional back-end functionality, site features, and the like.

No CSS or Razor Intellisense in .cshtml using VS 2013.2 Express for Web

There's a lot of posts from people who are having problems with Intellisense not working in .cshtml files. I'm having the same problem and even in .html files. With Bootstrap installed I don't get Intellisense even for class attributes.
As someone who is new to MVC, Razor and Bootstrap I can't tell you how much this hinders my progress in learning. It's very frustrating to be forced to Google for examples of syntax for virtually every piece of code I write.
I have tried most of the solutions I've read about, although some of them make me nervous to attempt - I'm currently in the middle of a project and just can't afford downtime if VS or something else would break, but I did uninstall VS 2013.2 Express for Web and reinstall it. I've tried running /resetsettings and went into Tools -> Options to make sure Intellisense was even enabled.
On this PC I have VS2010 Express for Web (maybe it's Visual Web Developer..., also have VS 2012 Express for Web and VS 2013.2 Express for Web.
I believe I also have Visual Studio 2013 Express installed.
I've uninstalled most of my NuGet packages and reinstalled.
I've rebooted my PC.
Tried creating a new Web Application project.
Totally uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2013.2 Express for Web.
I've loaded up VS 2012 Express for Web and created a new MVC project in it - still, no Intellisense in .cshtml.
This is a horrible problem to have. Does anyone have any other suggestions? For what it's worth, I do seem to get jQuery/Javascript and HTML Intellisense in .cshtml files. :S

Using SimpleMemberShipProvider in Visual Studio 2010 MVC 4 Basic Template

For quite a long time I've been searching a good guide to develop a MVC 4 application, which would use SimpleMemberShipProvider.
I've created a project with MVC4 Basic template in Visual Studio 2010. So, it gives no Views, Models or controllers. Can you give a step by step procedure of how to make this project use SimpleMemberShip Provider to manage all its user registration, login and forms authentication. All the examples around the Google using Visual Studio express 2012. (But, I can't use that for company policy and project requirement.) So, please help out.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry about this comment as an answer, but I don't have enough reputation to comment.
I don't have VS 2010 handy, but I know that on VS 2012 you can create an MVC4 project with .NET Framework 4.0 and if you use the Internet Application template it will build in all the Simple Membership code.
If doing the above in VS 2010 does not generate the Simple Membership features, maybe you could run VS 2012 long enough to generate the code and then use the VS 2012 code to guide implementing the same features in VS 2010. I think the important part should be the MVC4 Simple Membership, not the particular version of VS.

DotNetNuke vs Visual Studio

What is the difference between DotNetNuke CMS and visualStudio . i mean, is it better to use DotNetNuke over VisualStudio for Asp.net web site development.
Visual Studio is used to build DotNetNuke. I would guess 98+% of all third party DotNetNuke coding (modules/provders/skins etc.) is done using Visual Studio.
If your purpose is to create a web site (e.g. organize the pages, and menus, add pictures, text, documents, manage users etc.) you can do all of that without writing any code by using DotNetNuke. With Visual Studio you must write code to do even the simplest thing like add a page with some text.
If you need to create some very custom web site features, or integrate with other software systems, then you will probably need to write some code. Pretty much any code that you write for platforms based on Microsoft's .Net technologies (including DotNetNuke) will be done using Visual Studio.
Dotnetnuke is a Content Management System done in ASP.Net Technology. Visual Studio is the editor used to write ASP.Net code. (basically .Net projects). Dotnetnuke is an ASP.Net project which can be opened and edited in Visual Studio. You can create your own project instead of using Dotnetnuke which is a precreated project.
dotnetnuke is more like joomla meaning its just a content management and visual studio is just an ide or editor.
you can develop your own DNN module using visual studio
