Hi although this is not technical question, it is important to know where can someone find best from the experts.I am new in JQuery, I am using http://jquery.com/ for learning purposes. But it would be appreciable if I could have some better reference learning site for JQuery where videos and demos are available
So presuming you're somewhat familiar with jQuery, I would advise starting with JavaScript.
Code Academy run through the whole thing and you will understand JavaScript
jQuery's official site has a long, comprehensive list of tutorials. Pick the ones you think are down your alley and run with it.
After that, there are many, many good sites dedicated to jQuery.
Some that you might like are:
http://www.learningjquery.com/
http://jqueryfordesigners.com/
http://visualjquery.com/1.1.2.html (doesn't teach, just think of it as visual docs for the framework)
The New Boston jQuery Video Tutorials
This is a very good site.
I have gone through many tutorials and they are extremely helpful
Just try few videos first and see how much you get from it.
http://listic.ru/jQuery_Cookbook.pdf
found this quite organised and useful.

I'm looking for a very concise guide to using rails. I've done lots of work with other similar frameworks like Django so I just need a very short tutorial. Does anything like that exist?
Thanks!
This is best guide for those who are new to rails..

If you're willing to put up with a few quick video tutorials, Rails for Zombies by EnvyLabs (railsforzombies.org) gives a good overview of the framework.
If you decide to check it out, know this: at the time of this writing, there's one error in the tutorials. The code they show you for writing a basic redirect is missing a prepended slash on the URI. (At least, according to the interpreter they use for the accompanying exercises, it's incorrect.)
Other than that small gripe, in my opinion it's a great way to onboard yourself and colleagues in Rails, before drilling down into the gritty details.

Kind of a noob question, but is there a good way to search for custom controls/objects/frameworks? I was able to stumble upon the Three20 framework and some other things like custom progress bar views and other custom views...but I just kinda 'happened' upon them. Is there any standard place where people post their stuff besides doing a github-wide search?
For UI elements, check out Cocoa Controls. I unfortunately don't know of any other centralized repositories for categories etc. All the useful stuff I've stumbled across came from github, stackoverflow, and/or repeated google searches.
I would recommend staying away from Three20, though. Having used it on some large projects in the past, the framework tended get in the way more than it helped IMHO. Their drawing libraries have some nice conveniences, but it's a lot of bloat to add to your project if you just want a single UI element that the framework provides.
One good site that has aggregated a lot of these is http://cocoacontrols.com/

I am starting a website and am wondering if I should go with PHP, a php framework, or ruby on rails? I want to make a website fast, easiest and without a big learning curve. I already know a little bit of php and a little ruby on rails...But which would be best?
OK so to clarify more on the topic of what my site will be, It's basically a Classified Ads website that needs to have a user login, ability to post classifieds, and categorizing, and basically anything else a classified website has.
I would put my vote in for Rails. It's easy to get started building a website that requires persistence in a database, and there are many websites that host the framework. I agree with #Squeegy that PHP is great for sprinkling dynamic content into an otherwise static page, but it sounds to me that you want something more involved, so I would go with Rails.
Start with anything you know better.
PHP is great for sprinkling bits of dynamic content into a website. Given your requirements "fast, easiest and without a big learning curve" I think PHP would be ideal.
Now a large and more complex site, that would be much better suited to a framework. But with any framework also comes steep learning curve.
Codeigniter.com, try it out, it rocks.

I'm looking for a solution for collaborative filtering in rails or even possible examples. So far I have only found acts_as_recommendable which looks useful but I noticed it hasn't had any updates in the last 2 years.
Does anyone know of any other solutions and/or examples?
Have you evaluated Apache Mahout? It is a Java based solution, with HTTP access to recommendation engine.
Reference:
Introducing Mahout
This pertains to the examples part of your question, as both the libraries mentioned below are in Java.
The article referenced in above answer, written by Apache Mahout-Taste library author, has neat examples, source code of the examples( using 2.5GB wikipedia data) , and an excellent packaging to run and see those examples in action, in a few minutes.
Apache Mahout-Taste
The specific section is Building a recommendation engine
Here is another open source recommendation engine.
easyrec
In 2013, there's the ActiveRecord Reputation System gem by Twitter. There's also a free RailsCast on the topic.
here is a 50 line recommendation system in Ruby: http://www.igvita.com/2007/01/15/svd-recommendation-system-in-ruby/
there is one link there which doesn't work (when he says "mathies click here" it points to Using linear algebra for intelligent information retrieval by Berry et al.: http://www2.denizyuret.com/ref/berry/berry95using.pdf )

I know good general programming blogs (like coding horror ;) ).
But I want very good specific XNA blog.
Suggestions?
Shawn Hargreaves and Nick Gravelyn are two names that I run across a lot when looking for information on XNA.
It's not as much of a blog, but Ziggyware also has a lot of great information.
And you can also find helpful information right on the XNA forums and GameDev.net forums.
Oh, also, I like to read Gamasutra, which has articles from people developing on XNA.
I really like Shawn Hargreaves blog. He has a lot of code examples and shows a lot of best practices and tricks to help development.
You can start from www.creatorsclubonline.com , they have a huge list of links to XNA specific blogs. (not sure if you are looking at beginner level or advanced level blogs)
Meanwhile here are some...

It depends what it is you expect from a blog. If you're searching for knowledge and techniques, you'd be grazy not to spend some time at Riemer's tutorials as well!
