Publishing
is the process of production and dissemination of literature or
information – the activity of making information available for
public view. They include newspaper, book, magazine, database, portal
and web-publishers, music companies, broadcasters and film producers
as well as advertising agencies– all of which help create content
(songs, music, information, articles, stories, poems, films, shows)
and make it commercially successful. And one of the major part of the
media is the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry
covers the film, broadcasting, music industry, Television, radio,
fashion industry etc.
The
major software that is used is 3D animation. A few of the best
animation software applications that are used abundantly in the
animation studios is Adobe ImageReady, & Macromedia Fireworks.
The animation process involves creating series of layers that become
the frames of the Animation. Multiple layers are created by using
Adobe ImageReady or any other similar software, & each of the
layers that get created later on become a separate frame in the
animation. And what drives this application is the JavaScript
and Ajax technology.JavaScript is very fast because any code
functions can be run immediately instead of having to contact the
server and wait for an answer. JavaScript is relatively simple to
learn and implement. It plays nicely with other languages and can be
used in a huge variety of applications. Unlike PHP or SSI scripts,
JavaScript can be inserted into any web page regardless of the file
extension. JavaScript can also be used inside scripts written in
other languages such as Perl and PHP. With Ajax, the page can be
refreshed dynamically. When HTML is generated within a browser via
JavaScript, the Ajax pages can seem to load much faster. When Ajax is
used, it allows programmers to make a separation between the methods
and formats they use to deliver information via the Internet.
The
publishing industry has increasingly embraced the XML data standard,
and there is a pressing need for identifying and processing the
changes in XML documents. And Ajax is made up of four components ie
HXTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) ,XMLHTTPRequest objects &
JavaScript.Ajax
uses XML metadata vocabulary for managing, aggregating,
post-processing, multi-purposing and aggregating magazine, news,
catalog, book, and mainstream journal content. Few documents in any
publishing environment are static pages. Documents are constantly
being added to and edited in the course of their production and
distribution. Whilst there are many powerful editing tools for the
online and realtime editing of documents in a non-XML format, there
are relatively few robust tools which can examine and compare and
manipulate the changes which occur in XML documents. And javascript
provides a solution for showing changes to XHTML, DocBook,
OpenDocument and other XML document formats.
