# Introduction



*Everything curl* is an extensive guide for all things curl. The project, the

command-line tool, the library, how everything started and how it came to be

the useful tool it is today. It explains how we work on developing it further,

what it takes to use it, how you can contribute with code or bug reports and

why millions of existing users use it.



This book is meant to be interesting and useful to both casual readers and

somewhat more experienced developers. It offers something for everyone to pick

and choose from. 



Do not read this book from front to back. Read the chapters or content you are

curious about and flip back and forth as you see fit.



This book is an open source project in itself: open, completely free to

download and read. Free for anyone to comment on, and available for everyone

to contribute to and help out with. Send your bug reports, ideas, pull

requests or critiques to us and I or someone else will work on improving the

book accordingly.



This book will never be finished. I intend to keep working on it. While I may

at some point consider it fairly complete, covering most aspects of the

project (even if only that seems like an insurmountable goal), the curl

project will continue to move so there will always be things to update in the

book as well.



This book project started at the end of September 2015.
