Chapter 1. Dart – A Modern Web Programming Language

In this chapter we will investigate:

What Dart is all about
Why it is a major step forward in the web programming language arena

We will get started with the Dart platform and have a look at its tools. Soon enough we will be programming and taking a dive in a simple functional todo list program, so that you realize how familiar it all is.
