Overview of this book

Dart is an open source programming language for the web, developed at Google, with a steadily growing community. It is a single language for both client and server, appropriate for the full range of devices on the web – including phones, tablets, laptops, and servers. It encompasses the lessons of the last two decades of web programming. This book will give you a thorough overview of Dart, taking you through its ecosystem, syntax, and development principles. With this book, you will build web games using HTML5, audio, and video, and also dive into processing and displaying data in HTML5 forms with Dart. You will also learn how web components fit together with HTML5, and how to apply them in business web applications of the future. You will discover how to store data on the client, communicate data between client and server with JSON, and store JSON data with MongoDB and MySQL. Stop solving new challenges with the same old tools – let Dart show you a whole new way.

Documenting your programs

Documenting an application is of utmost importance in software engineering and Dart makes this very easy. The single-line (//) and multiline comments (/* */) are useful (for example, to comment out code or mark lines with // TODO), and they have counterparts /// and /** */ called documentation comments. In these comments (to be placed on the previous line), you can include references to all kinds of objects in your code (classes, methods, fields, and so on) and the Dartdoc tool (in Dart Editor, go to Tools | Generate Dartdoc) will generate an HTML documentation, where these references become links. To demonstrate, we will add docs to our banking example (refer to banking_v2doc.dart):

/**
 * A bank account has an [owner], is identified by a [number]
 * and has an amount of money called [balance].
 * The balance is changed through methods [deposit] and [withdraw].
 */
class BankAccount {
  String owner, number;
  double balance;
  DateTime dateCreated, dateModified...
