Dave Johnson, Alexei White and I have finally completed our video training series on Ajax development for high performance and large scale Ajax UIs. We took the book, Enterprise Ajax, we wrote last year and then recorded just over 8hrs worth of Ajax training. Hopefully it's a bit easier for folks to swallow than the 500 page book;-)

"Everything from asynchronous requests using the XMLHttpRequest object and JSON data exchange, through state-of-the-art Ajax frameworks and offline Ajax techniques. You’ll discover practical solutions for Ajax debugging, security, and usability. You will also learn how to apply Test-Driven Development techniques to your Ajax development projects."

Here's what the breakdown of the lessons:

-JavaScript Basics
-Ajax Debugging (covers FireBug etc...)
-The XMLHttpRequest Object and Data
-Introduction to Ajax Frameworks
-Test-Driven Ajax Development
-Offline Ajax
-Ajax Security
-Ajax Usability
-Ajax User Interface Patterns

Watch the chapter on the XML HTTP Request Object.
