Curl Corporation Announces the New Surge Lab Integrated Development Environment -IDE-; Surge Lab IDE 1.0 Enables Developers To Build Rich and Dynamic Web Solutions.Business/Technology Editors CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2001 Curl Corporation, the leading software infrastructure company for the development and delivery of content in a Web-based environment, today announced the general availability of Surge Lab(TM) Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) 1.0. The Surge Lab IDE provides an interactive environment for developers to learn how the Curl(TM) content language works and to build rich and dynamic Web applications using the Curl content language, which can be run directly from the desktop. The development environment is free of charge to developers. The Surge Lab IDE 1.0 offers a unique approach to learning by providing documentation that acts as an interactive learning lab in which developers can experiment with and modify sample Curl language source code. Example code is included throughout the documentation where the user can modify the code and run the samples in the documentation "sandbox A restricted environment in which certain functions are prohibited. For example, deleting files and modifying system information such as Registry settings and other control panel functions may be prohibited. ." Surge Lab IDE 1.0 includes: -- Source Editor providing an easy way to edit your applet's source code. Features include auto indentation in·den·ta·tion n. A notch, a pit, or a depression. , syntax highlighting
Syntax highlighting and context sensitive assistance. -- Debugger Software that helps a programmer debug a program by stopping at certain breakpoints and displaying various programming elements. The programmer can step through source code statements one at a time while the corresponding machine instructions are being executed. permitting you to track down syntax and runtime bugs by letting you execute applets line-by-line while examining the variables and objects that your applet A small application, such as a utility program or limited-function spreadsheet or word processor.

"Curl's technology finally makes possible something no other solution has done to date - the ability to create desktop-like applications over a browser. While other technologies claim to support interactive applications, none match Curl's download times, responsiveness or programming productivity, making Curl the only viable resource for this type of application."
