Get started with Dart and learn to program with this language suitable for high-performing
modern applications. You'll gain the basics and be ready to move to the next level: web and
mobile apps. While you won't learn the specifics of programming web and mobile apps you will
have the foundation to take your Dart skills in that direction. This book starts with an
introduction to the Dart IDE after which you will take a look at the various components of the
Dart programming language. You will look at types and variables and get to know the
significance of collections and arrays in Dart. Once you've familiarized yourself with the
initial components of Dart you will see how flow of control and looping can be achieved by
using if else and conditional expressions. Moving on to functions and objects you will dig
deeper into the concepts of object oriented programming to gauge the importance of constructors
in Dart. You will then discover more about inheritance and mixins seeing how they contain
methods for use by other classes. After gauging the importance of abstract classes and methods
you will learn more about anonymous functions such as lambdas and closures. You will then take
a look at key data structures including lists and maps to aid you in organizing your
information for storage and retrieval. After all this you'll move on to managing exceptions
arising from executing your program. Finally Dart programming relies heavily on libraries to
perform a variety of functions. You will cover some of these packages and libraries including
dart:core and dart:math and also build a backend server with the help of the Dart core
libraries. What You Will Learn Use variables and conditionals in Dart Work with arrays and
collections Apply flow control and looping Explore data structures and their use Handle
exceptions Use Dart packages and libraries to builda backend server Who This Book Is For Those
new to Dart programming who aim to get a quick introduction to its concepts and programming
principles. Readers with no coding experience can also take advantage of this book.
