Book overview
The Curl Content Language, and the accompanying Surge Lab IDE represent
one possible look at the future of web content. A fully object-oriented
language, Curl takes the greatest features of HTML, Javascript, DHTML and
Java and combines them into a cross-browser, cross-platform technology
that's easy to learn and has some serious power behind it. The result
of six year's development, Curl is the first language designed
specifically to encompass all the problems of building a web application
on the client-side and cut away the World Wide Wait we encounter everyday.
As well as providing a tutorial to the Curl language itself, this book
also provides a great introduction to its graphics and multimedia
capabilities and will give developers everything they need to know
to start applying Curl technology in real world situations.
Who is this book for?
This book is for existing web developers, preferably with some knowledge
of an object oriented language, who want an overview of the Curl content
language and short, sharp information on how to develop Curl applications.
This book was written on both the beta 5 and pre-RTM versions of the Surge
Lab IDE, and while we can't guarantee that the final version will be
identical, you can be sure that all the concepts, examples and explanations
will still be valid for the final v1.0 release, scheduled for October 2001.
