I am new to web development, learning ASP.NET. I used some JQuery script so am just wondering if it causes some performance issues or anything like that. Is it OK and rather safe to use it?

I work as a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft, and as the others have said jQuery is not only stable and safe… it’s also awesome.
If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have baked it into the .NET project templates.
In terms of performance there are things that you as a developer can do wrong, but if you follow best practices jQuery will improve your visitor’s experience, not detract from it.
If you are learning jQuery then make sure you visit jQuery.com to look at their getting started section. Also I found the following links useful:
