A preview of the Curl Mobile framework is now available in English at
http://caede.curl.com/en/.
CAEDA is an acronym for Curl Application Export Development Environment.
With a few restrictions on Curl features (
e.g., no multiple class inheritance in user classes) a Curl application can be exported as HTML5 (+ JavaScript, CSS), thereby no requiring the Curl RTE (Runtime Engine or browser plugin) on mobile devices.
Of course, compared to installing Java for a browser, the Curl RTE is a snap to install on any MAc, Windows or Linux platform, but for Android and iOS systems the problem is more serious.
Curl as the development language offers a terrific environment for debugging and testing web applets. The developer works in one language, not three.
Over the next two weeks I will be working with the CAEDA preview and reporting back at
communities.curl.com on my tech blog: Robert's Blog.
