This is not meant to be a subjective or argumentative question.
I am investing some time in learning ASP.NET and more specifically ASP.NET MVC and I am curious how it stacks up to the competition. I really like what I am seeing so far with the framework, and I think the icing on the cake would be if it shows rock solid speed like I have seen with some ASP.NET form sites.
Has anyone done or seen fair comparisons or benchmarks? I would be interested to see how ASP.NET MVC stacks up against other solutions such as PHP MVC too.
If you compare just raw execution .NET is faster than PHP or RoR. However, the speed and overall performance of an application depends on its architecture. For example: StackOverflow runs on less than 10 servers. I work for a company that runs a website with pretty much the same hardware (+- 10 heavy work servers) but SO is way faster and has hundred times more access that my company's website.
So in most case it is really about how you implement the software other than the platform itself.
You can not compare the language only based on speed. Each language has its own features. So you need to choose as per your requirement.
For example. If you want less spendings on hosting and other stuff then go for PHP else if you want pure MVc then gofor ruby on rails or asp.net mvc.

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 have a general question. I want to develop a Web Application for business process modelling. The application was build using c# and WPF as Desktop Application Software and now i would like to develope it as Web Application. what technology should i choose?
I've tried to find it myself but there are many different opinions about that topic. Is there any general rule or methodology which can help me decide?
Your question is not quite constructive. You need to talk to some Architect to understand your business and the requirements to fill up the gaps of choosing a technology. It is quite vague to answer your question whether to choose ASP.NET webforms/MVC or probably a different platform than .NET to suit your needs.
On a general answer, if you are planning to port your whole application developed on desktop using WPF, you can consider porting to Silverlight which might cut down your cost to 90% (probably), where you will able to reuse all codes you have written so far. But that's totally your call and your business needs.

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.
