Need some good 'JavaScript for ASP.NET developers' books and blogs, since AJAX UpdatePanels are performance killers

Regarding those articles:

• Update Panels and JSON Alternatives

• Why ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanels are dangerous

• PageMethods vs UpdatePanels

I think AJAX UpdatePanels can't be the appropriate way of implementing a partial page renders for big application or good scalable ones.

So I hope I could find a dedicated sources for search things. I know how to integrate JavaScript with ASP.NET But what I'm looking for is a very specific resource to t开发者_JS百科each me to do whatever I could have done with AJAX UpdatePanels.

I had a (thankfully brief) affair with UpdatePanels, and since I've started using jQuery http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials and jQuery UI http://jqueryui.com/ I have never looked back. I know this isnt a book but I found that most of the stuff on the website is pretty well written and can get you started pretty fast :)

I think the idea is you want to start looking to have your client consume server data with as little asp.net heavy handedness as possible.

I think this works alot better in ASP.NET MVC than it did in previous platforms.
