I have searched the stackoverflow site to find if someone has recommended any good books that show how jQuery can be used with asp.net. All the threads lead to only good jQuery books.
Can anyone recommend me a good book that shows how to use jquery with asp.net? Any upcoming books are also ok
I think you should check this book written by a MVP and it has some very good reviews. 51 Tips, Tricks and Recipes using jQuery and ASP.NET Controls. Here's what the book says
In the first book of its kind on using jQuery with ASP.NET Controls, I show you how to use jQuery to solve some common and not-so-common client-side programming challenges while dealing with ASP.NET Controls. This EBook is the result of my practical experience of using jQuery with ASP.NET controls, all in the pursuit of demonstrating techniques to resolve Client-Side programming challenges, quickly
I think that "jQuery for ASP.NET Developers" book by Wrox is a good one.
Also look at "51 Tips, Tricks and Recipes using jQuery and ASP.NET Controls" ebook.

I a general question. When i want to develop some new web project (not simple page-something bigger and quite complex) what technology should i choose- MVC or Web Forms?
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?
No, there is no general rule. It's only a matter of preference. Someone likes MVC, someone likes webforms. Microsoft will support both equally.
Don't pick MVC vs Webforms based on the experience of someone else who says "THIS IS BETTER", because he's just plain wrong, but based on your instinct or how to describe it the best. You need to feel comfortable with the technology you're using, not struggle with it.
Basically both have their pons and cons for an overview of how you can decide see this blog

On clicking ajaxcontroltoolkit tag, I noticed most of the questions are unanswered. It seems nobody cares about this toolkit or nobody uses it.
I was searching for a solution to famous character duplication after refocus in masked edit extender. I found many questions on that asked nearly 3 years ago. All are unanswered and problem still exists. It's just incredible!
What are your thoughts on this toolkit. Is it just a buggy toolkit that is not supported well? What are the other choices? What do you use?
There are many client-side JavaScript UI frameworks, to name a few:
jQuery UI
jQuery Tools
Kendo UI
But if you want a framework that integrates with server-side ASP.NET Web Forms, than you need to look elsewhere, for example at Telerik ASP.NET Ajax Controls. Google for more.
As for the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit, it's open source and hosted on Codeplex. Is your issue listed on the Issue Tracker? If not, try reporting it there if you think it's a bug. Your last resort may be to contact one of the project contributors.

What would be a good 3rd party control package for ASP.NET, easy to use without compromising full functionality? What I noticed from some research is Telrik and DevExpress being fairly popular. Any suggestions?
I can say that in my opinion stay clear of Infragistics.
It has been our experience that their documentation is absolutely terrible. The controls are bug-ridden so be ready for the patches. Their support is slow and ineffective; and it seems like management really does not concern themselves with customers opinions; but would rather preach to you about why you, the customer are incorrect, and why they are so right.
I am concerned with the comments here about Telerik's documnetation being incomplete.
I also am also concerned about the concentration on certain controls rather than the cmany/suite as a whole.
I've used Telerik extensively for business/data web apps and would recommend them.
The RadGrid control is a vast improvement on the standard ASP.NET Grid and you can develop data-driven sites with neat UIs very rapidly.
If your focus is RAD and neat UIs with minimal coding, then I'd say go for Telerik.
I'd say Telerik too.. very easy to use and lots of functionality. Try their demos.
Telerik is what i'd recommend too.
Using it in enterprise domain and in addition to quality of the components, their support is pretty good.
Telerik is the way to go. The documentation isn't always complete but there is a huge community around these controls, which is very helpful.

Are there any books / tutorials on jQuery with ASP.NET MVC 3? I need to learn how to use ajax links and how to submit ajax forms ect. If there aren't any books / tutorials on MVC 3 yet MVC 2 wil also suffice.
P.S I do know how to do basic stuff with the MS AJAX Toolkit that comes with MVC
The best 2 books are:
Pro ASP.NET MVC 2: http://www.amazon.com/ASP-NET-Framework-Second-Experts-Voice/dp/1430228865/ref=pd_sim_b_1
jQuery in Action: http://www.amazon.com/jQuery-Action-Bear-Bibeault/dp/1933988355
There is the MVC 3 version of Pro ASP.NET MVC: http://www.amazon.com/Pro-ASP-NET-MVC-Framework-Third/dp/1430234040/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
There is a basic MVC 3 tutorial on the ASP.NET site: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/creating-a-mvc-3-application-with-razor-and-unobtrusive-javascript
Also a great video tutorial here, http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/courses/TableOfContents?courseName=aspdotnet-mvc3-intro, there is a whole 47m chapter dedicated to AJAX and Javascript (including jQuery).
The book mentioned previously is available now from Apress under their alpha books program, I've got it and recommend it - though what I've read so far jQuery code is sparse, mostly just leveraging the library's built in support for Ajax and validation.
They do refer readers to the jQuery site and to Stack Overflow for more info :-)
Pro ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework from Apress.com
Here's a couple more resources that are free (also see the site learningjquery.com if new to jQuery):
ASP-NET-MVC-and-jQuery-Part-1-Getting-Started
Come-in-as-jQuery-zero-go-out-as-jQuery-hero

can you recommend some good ASP.NET tutorials or a good book?
Should I jump right to ASP.NET MVC/html/javascript or learn web forms first?
Thanks
A great book if you're just beginning is Matthew MacDonald's Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008: From Novice to Professional. Once you're done with that a great reference (also by MacDonald) is Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008. One of my favorite sources of information online is 4GuysFromRolla.
MVC or WebForms...it's your choice but if I can offer one piece of advice regarding webforms...I know it'll be tempting to start dropping controls and playing with code, but it will help you A LOT if you don't skip over learning about the request and page lifecycles...a couple weeks later you'll thank yourself for spending the extra time there.
MVC www.asp.net/mvc great videos
Asp.net www.asp.net
If you're going to use ASP.NET MVC, then go straight to it. But it's a fairly new technology, not even in beta yet, so have that in mind. However, the application model is totally different compared to ASP.NET, so it is not in fact a replacement. For tutorials, you can surely check out http://www.asp.net and http://www.asp.net/mvc - there's tons of information there.
A site for web tutorials including ASP.net can be found here.
