I started curlr.org as a home for the Flickr api I've been writing in Curl. Initially this is intended as a simple download site, with some blogging describing how to use the api, and maybe a few examples to encourage you to build something attractive using Curl. The site is built using the nucleus cms, so effectively this is a sprawling set of blogs with contents organized to form a web site. I have enabled comments on the main articles, but hope that any community that does develop here will be revolve around the curlr group.

There's not much here yet, but you can see from the promisory links that I'm hoping to do more with the web site and to broaden the topic from Flickr to other apis. There is a continually expanding world of published web apis, and I'd like to see this site as one of the resources a developer using the Curl language can visit to get utlities, code and advice for building applications. I'll be developing and publishing the Flickr api here, and I will move on to the others when I can.

For now and for the foreseeable future this is a labor of love, and I derive no source of income from this site. In the spirit of full disclosure, you may or may not care that for my day job I run the Solutions group in Curl Inc, a job that involves a lot of programming using Curl - something that I enjoy doing. This web site is born of my enthusiasm for web programming in general, and in particular for programming in Curl .

Other than the obvious advocacy I have for Curl, this site and its contents, for better or worse, are solely the products of my own time and efforts and are therefore independent of Curl Inc. and its parent company Sumisho Computer Systems. Opinions I may express here are my own and not to be construed as reflecting the postions of those companies.
