- Minimise the payload – put all javascript in external files, consider using a lightweight javascript loader which loades the meatier js files in only if javascript is enabled. Google does not seem to like reams of uncomprehensible code.
- Always have a non-javascript fallback to all pages – this includes forms, dialogs and most importantly pages.
- Endevour as much as possible to separate style from layout, code from content, logic from interface… pretty much everything from everything if time and resources permit.
- Try to consider all the possible ways in which a user can interact with your AJAX application – as AJAX applications tend to be more like desktop applications than traditional web applications. The MVC and HMVC patterns adapt well to AJAX applications.
