Resources for learning how to use ajax with asp.net mvc?

Question

I have a few asp.net mvc books (asp.net mvc in action, professional asp.net mvc) and they each have a chapter on ajax. They offer a good overview but I am joining a project where it is used extensively, and I am familiar with ASP.NET but not really ajax at all. I have looked at a few books on asp.net ajax but the examples they use don't fit with the MVC paradigm.

Can someone recommend 1) a great resource for learning jquery/another ajax library (looking to learn the fundamentals) and 2) resources for learning to use this along with asp.net mvc?

Thank you so much.
