Curl is a next-generation programming language that makes it possible to create dynamic, rich Web content and user interfaces. It takes the best concepts from HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, and Java to create a one-stop language for Web designers and developers. This book explains what Curl is, why it is here, and what it can do to make your applications more robust, interactive, and efficient. Using a building block approach, the book helps HTML/ JavaScript/CSS and Java programmers understand the Curl language and the features specific to scripting or Java programming. A Practical Guide to Curl is ideal for people who want to learn the capabilities of Curl, as well as the syntax for creating applets. After working through the extensive code samples, you will be able to create your own user interfaces, games, and Web applications using Curl.
