I am a asp.net webforms developer (have 4 years of expirience), and have some expirience with MVC and razor engine + normal front end like jquery/templating and so on. Im used to build sites up from scratch. Yesterday ive got an idea to learn one of the CMS systems which everybody talks about. I chose Umbraco to be the system of my choice. Ive lerned some basics like templating, document types, content handling and so on.
Right now i really dont see when i should use umbraco and when to use plain asp.net webforms/MVC to build a website.
Can anybody explain me what is it that make umbraco so good that alot of people use it? The only thing i can see is that it makes some clear structure of a webpage.
As with all other Content Management Systems (CMS), they are build for the end-users to manage the content of their website in an easy way without the need of understanding, html, php or other programming languages.
Besides this, Umbraco is a powerful and flexible CMS build on the ASP.NET Framework and it is free and open-source.

I've got a CMS which I have been building over the last couple of years which is pretty big and does what the website needs perfectly. I'm about to re-build the frontend of the website using Symfony2 and was just looking for re-assurance that I could use my existing CMS which has no Symfony2 components and is pretty much flat PHP with a Symfony2 frontend? I will probably even put the CMS on a subdomain of the website so the website files will be completely separate but would obviously share the same database.
Yes, there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to do this. You'd want to be careful of things such as result caching though as values may be updated in a completely separate system that wouldn't invalidate the cache.
Have you considered just using Silex instead if this is just for the frontend? It's much more lightweight so should provide better performance.

I planning to do web site like groupon.com. But I am wondering how it would be easier and faster...
I am planning to choose Drupal CMS or Symfony framework.
PS. I am new in Drupal and Sympony.
PHP frameworks are a great way for developers of all skill levels to reduce the need for repetitive coding, speed up the development process, and to ensure proper coding when creating web applications. This not only speeds up the development of rich applications, but it also tightens up PHP security by reducing the risk of security holes in your coding..
While not really a CMS, the Symfony framework allows us to custom build anything that can’t be done with the tools above.Symfony is a PHP framework that provides an architecture for developers to build complex web applications faster.
One big gain ISTM with Symfony is that the caching and overall performance does seem rather better. Another benefit of Symfony is being able to tailor your application to the users' needs. Of course this comes with the (possibly considerable) extra development effort.
Drupal has an extensively flexible core that can be used to build modules to do just about anything you might want.
Each framework has it's pro's and con's. For choosing one, you need to decide what you want.

i am programmer but not good i am working with c# , asp.net and MVC too. so how i can improve our coding skill for develop a better web apps. means how can i learn it.
Obviously you need some good ASP.NET MVC resources as the other answers have pointed out. It is also worth investing time in learning about the .NET framework itself. For this purpose I thoroughly recommend CLR via C# by Jeffrey Richter.
I'd recommend getting Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and working through it and the examples in it, particularly the Nerd Dinner Example.
Learning resources:
The Official ASP.Net site (Video, Tutorials, Documentation)
Learn ASP.Net MVC
What I think you should start with is some beginning book and move towards professional. One book could be
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-ASP-NET-3-5-2008-Professional/dp/1590598911
once u understand this book then u can for MVC book like.
www.amazon.com/Pro-ASP-NET-Framework-Steven-Sanderson/dp/1430210079
In between try to learn by googling topics like. TDD(Test Driven Development), DI(Dependency Injection) and Other design Patterns

I am new to .NET development.
Would you please let me know few best ASP.NET Websites for Sample Code / Code Projects?
Thank you & Regards.
Shravya.
http://www.codeplex.com
CodePlex is Microsoft's open source project hosting web site. It contains a myriad of projects or varying degrees of quality. Checkout the "most downloaded" as those projects are the more popular ones.
http://www.codeproject.com/ is a good wesite. You can also take a look at the tutorials on http://asp.net
http://www.xpode.com
Site having articles and examples
I think this site is one of the best resources there is. Most questions here either have a code example in the answer or point to a useful code example.
the best enterprise web application would have to be DotNetNuke (DNN)
I have used it for years while at the New York Stock Exchange. Its an open source project that is maintained by a core set of developers and is a platform for Microsoft to showcase its latest and greatest .net technologies/ techniques such as all the various roles/ membership providers... unlike the rest of the answers here this is a single (big) application you can debug and learn a lot from and not a slew of mini projects or code sample... this will actually show you how to build a very scalable asp.net site for use in the real world.
you can download it here for free: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/
there is also a forum where you can post questions.
the big plus is all the modules (asp.net user controls) you can buy or build to use in your DNN websites.

I am going to build a basic small business site for myself and would like to get a head start with a quality ASP.NET template and don't mind purchasing one.
Can you recommend a reputable site I might check out for this?
not specifically asp.net but http://www.themeforest.net have some good themes which could easily be used in asp.net
I think you would need to know what exactly you are going to do. If you are just after a web page template then look at a css web page template
If you are planning to have some sort of specific functionality and interactivity then how about Kentico which is a CMS system.
Failing that, there are a good few choices if you download the Microsoft Web Platform Installer

Dom
Although Wordpress is used more for blogging and not asp.net, I like the aesthetics of its available themes and you can easily port them an asp.net:

Not a template site, but this gave me ideas and inspiration:
