Google Books Loses Copyright Infringement

A Paris court has ruled that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is guilty of violating copyrights in a case brought by French publishers against the search giant’s digital books project. Google will have to pay €300,000 ($430,000) in damages and interest to French publisher La Martiniere, the AP reported. The search giant was also ordered to pay €10,000 ($14,330) per day until it takes down portions of the French books from its online database. In a separate European legal proceeding, Google plans to modify the way its Street View photo mapping service operates in Switzerland, following complaints that it did not do enough to protect individuals’ privacy, Reuters reported.

What Is Ajax?

Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML
Ajax is not itself a technology
Ajax is a way of mixing well-known programming techniques in an uncommon way to develop web applications with appealing user interfaces
Ajax works as an extra layer between the user’s browser and the web server to fill up the lapses of traditional web application development

Why Ajax?

Ajax Solves the problem of filing up a form, click a submit button or hyperlink and wait for the page to reload to show the result
Ajax Avoids reloading of elements that are identical to those of the previous page

Why Ajax is Asynchronous?

In Ajax, server requests are not necessarily synchronized with user actions. Ajax application may already have requested the server, and received, the data required by the user—perhaps before the user even knew she wanted it. This is the meaning of the asynchronous part of the Ajax acronym
The parts of an Ajax application that happen “under the hood” of the user’s browser are written in JavaScript
Ajax uses XML for coding and transferring formatted information between server and client.

Traditional Interaction Vs Ajax Client Server Interactions

The following hindrances in traditional interaction clarifies its differences with Ajax client server interactions

Data will not be sent to the server until the form is finally submitted
You may complete the data entry fields of a form editing and re-editing your entries as much as you want
After a form is submitted, you must wait while the browser screen refreshes to display the new or revised page that has been delivered by the server
Don’t click the Submit button a second time
Don’t click the Back button after submitting a form
Unnecessary download of data wastes bandwidth and further exacerbates the delay in loading each new page

Ajax builds an extra layer of processing between the web page and the server. This layer, often referred to as an Ajax Engine or Ajax Framework, intercepts requests from the user and in the background handles server communications quietly, unobtrusively, and asynchronously. By this we mean that server requests and responses no longer need to coincide with particular user actions but may happen at any time convenient to the user and to the correct operation of the application. The browser does not freeze and await the completion by the server of the last request but instead lets the user carry on scrolling, clicking, and typing in the current page.

The updating of page elements to reflect the revised information received from the server is also looked after by Ajax, happening dynamically while the page continues to be used.
