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.

Gears Goes Off-Line

The final word on Google Gears:
In March we said goodbye to the Gears browser extension for creating offline web applications and stopped supporting new browsers. On December 1, 2011, Gears-based Gmail and Calendar offline will stop working across all browsers, and later in December Gears will no longer be available for download. This is part of our effort to help incorporate offline capabilities into HTML5, and we’ve made a lot of progress. For example, you can access Gmail, Calendar and Docs offline in Chrome.


Curl continues to off Occasionally-Connected Computing features.

Sextus Empiricus

Two of the three books are now at http://phil.aule-browser.com/sextus-empiricus.html

Hegel Phänomenologie des Geistes without Italics

One edit redefining {i } in the tiny Curl file gives another version of Hegel Die Phänomenologie des Geistes in German without his italics,


See:  http://goo.gl/FeaB3 


This was done with no change to the huge source text file itself.


And now the e-book loads faster and is less annoying overall.


What changed?


{define-text-format i as italic}


became


{define-text-format i as text}


Of course it was first necessary to have his text in italics wrapped in {i An-Sich} etcetera, but that was simple in practice with a good editor.


The full URL is http://phil.aule-browser.com/phaenomenologie-des-geistes-no-italics.html


and the former with italics is http://phil.aule-browser.com/phaenomenologie-des-geistes.html


Both are at http://phil.aule-browser.com where I have my philosophy texts in Curl web content markup from www.curl.com.

Hegels Phänomenologie

Ich habe ein komplettes Hegel Die Phänomenologie des Geistes in deutscher Sprache unter
http://phil.aule-browser.com/phaenomenologie-des-geistes.html hinzugefügt.

Es ist in die Curl Web-Content-Markup Sprache mit Text-Formatten für Philosophische Texte und E-Bücher definiert. Das Betrachten dieser Web-Seite benötigt der Curl RTE-Browser-Plugin von www.curl.com.

Die Seite hat ein BaumStil Inhaltsverzeichnis auf der linken Seite der WebPage und eine Reihe von Links in den Inhalt an der Spitze der Text; Version ohne kursiv wird ein paar Minuten länger dauern.

I have added a complete Hegel Die Phänomenologie des Geistes in German at
http://phil.aule-browser.com/phaenomenologie-des-geistes.html

The book is in Curl web content markup using text-formats defined for philosophy texts and e-books.

The page requires Curl RTE browser plugin from www.curl.com

The TocDocument has a tree table of contents on the left and a set of links in the Inhalt chapter at the top of the text. 

A version with no italics will take a few minutes more (just redefine the text-format in the Curl file without touching the text as marked-up in the Scurl file.  One source - many presentations.)

Curl TIP: the top index in the text display window has {link } expressions to {destination } expressions in the text.  If they are to work, those links MUST be in the .curl Applet file and not in the .scurl file containing the markup of the large text.

Sumisho CSK Curl

The new Sumisho corp web site: http://www.scsk.jp/ after merger of Sumisho and CSK.
