Michael Mahemoff is starting a series of podcasts to go along with the content’s of his new book Ajax Design Patterns. 

I was a guest on episode one where we talked about 9 patterns of Ajax widgets:

• Slider
• Progress Indicator
• Drilldown
• Data Grid
• Rich Text Editor
• Suggestion
• Live Search
• Live Command-Line
• Live Form

Dave joined Michael for episode 2 where they discussed ten patterns of Ajax Architecture:

• Drag-And-Drop
• Sprite
• Popup
• Malleable Content
• Microlink
• Portlet
• Status Area
• Update Control
• Virtual Workspace

Michael has a very deep knowledge of these patterns and keeps the listening interesting.  IMHO.  Can’t wait to podcast with Michael again. You can get  all of Michae’s podcasts here:

DaveO gets a lesson on using AJAX (not just for cleaning) for advanced web interface usability from the brilliant and humourous lads of E-Business Applications, Andre Charland and Alexei White.

Note: This is an ‘enhanced’ podcast filled with relevant photos and links (use your viewer window in the bottom left corner of iTunes).

While playing with Elastic Path “thinking putty,” they discuss ways to optimize the user experience, pros and cons of various technologies, the Nitobi Grid and Combo Box products and recap a few Gnomedex conference highlights – plus have some laughs about ski culture (gapers), community building, fantasy sports and the fleece-filled recreational equipment district of Vancouver.
