Book Description
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.
This book covers:
Explains what Curl is and how the web has evolved to need it
Concise introduction to the main features of the Curl content language
Surge Lab IDE for beta 5 and version 1.0
Curl as a replacement for HTML and CSS
Curl as a replacement for other script languages and the DOM
Dynamic page layout and generation of 2-/3-D graphics on the fly
Multimedia support in Curl
XML and the Future beyond v1.0
From the Publisher
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.
