Hi serge.calder,

Welcome to ASP.NET Forum .

The architecture of a web project ( client, server ) : mainly how to a organise and select different components

Please refer to document : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/modern-web-apps-azure-architecture/common-web-application-architectures , you can view more articles from navigation bar in left panel .

Today seems that javascript is the language to learn for web right ? if yes any good reference ?

Yes, JavaScript is the programming language of HTML and the Web , and helps you handle Http Requests / Round Trips / PostBacks in ASP.NET , you can refer to articles below :

https://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/javascript 

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.

Then for the redering I have eard a lot on combinqtion of HTML5 and Razor, any good book to learn?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-pages/overview/getting-started/introducing-razor-syntax-c 

http://www.bandgap.cs.rice.edu/classes/comp410/resources/Using%20HTML%205/Home.aspx 

Finally I earn about node.js but do not understand what it is exacttly

From Node.js website :

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

You can click here for more details about what exactly is Node.js . And learn from Node.js docs.
