Dart Apprentice will teach you all the basic concepts you need to master this language. Follow along the easily and thoroughly explained concepts and you will be building Dart applications in a breeze.

There are many programming languages you can start learning today. But not many are modern, easy to learn, object-oriented and scalable as Dart. Plus, combined with Flutter, it allows you to build native iOS & Android applications with a single code base.

Dart is a general purpose programming language developed by Google. You can use it to develop web, server, desktop and mobile applications for iOS and Android. It’s easy to learn (especially if you read this book) and also has great tooling support. In many ways Dart is a boring language, and that’s a good thing! It means that Dart is fast and easy to pick up. While Dart does have some unique characteristics, any knowledge you bring in from other object oriented or C-style languages will immediately be applicable. If you come here as a complete beginner to programming, Dart is a good place to start. The concepts that you’ll learn in this book will give you a solid foundation in your coding career.

Don’t let Dart’s mundane syntax fool you, though. Dart is a modern and rapidly evolving language, and the things it allows you to do are both exciting and even historic in nature. Never before have you been able to create native applications for so many platforms using a single code base. There’s a good chance you picked up this book because of the Flutter UI framework. However, it was no accident that Flutter chose Dart as its language. The Dart virtual machine allows lightning fast development-time rebuilds, its jаvascript complier allows you to build for the web, and its ahead-of-time compiler creates fast native applications across mobile and desktop platforms and even on the server and embedded devices.
