Dorothy Parker one-liner

As seen at http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1554.html aka Representative Poetry ONLINE:

<div class="a"><span class="head"><br<</span></div><div class="a"><span class="numb">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1</span><span class="line">My own dear love, he is strong and bold</span></div>

That is one line of Dorothy Parker's Love Song: readers of books never saw the lead type - but could it have been as ugly, when read in a mirror?

A Curl equivalent in poetry markup might be

{ln 1, My own dear love, he is strong and bold}

Curl CAEDA Mobile

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.

Curl Mobile Preview

The Curl mobile preview is at http://caede.curl.com/ja/ as Caeda - The Curl Application Export Development Environment.

Caeda is intended to make Curl a one-web-language-fits-all for Android and iOS.
