Usage of .net ajax toolkit and others
<p>I have just started to use Ajax/ws and i have faced this question:</p>

<p>Why do i have to use Microsoft ajax tool kit if Microsoft started to implement Jquery/java-script </p>

<p>What are the benefits of each one? (is Microsoft still support ajax tool?)</p>

<p>I know that Java-script is a client side language and rhat through several methods i can use java-script to communicate with the server.</p>

<p>Microsoft ajax tool kit contains a lot of plugins which i can download, and one example</p>

<p>Microsoft ajax -> date calendar VS Jquery-> datepicker.</p>

<p>Maybe i am missing something, what are the benefits of using Script manager -> Update panel?</p>

<p>Which method is the "right" one?</p>

<p>I know that everyone should explore and use the one they most convenient with.</p>

<p>But for one who is "lack" of experiences in that area, </p>

<p>where is the best place to start? </p>

<p>appreciate any "direction" and some theory regarding this subject?</p>
