| Summary |
Dart is a language developed by Google for creating Web applications. It has advantages over JavaScript including improved speed, enforcement of programmatic structure, and improved facilities for software reuse, and it is automatically coverted to JavaScript so that it works with all Web browsers. This book teaches readers the fundamentals of programming, the technologies behind the Web, the use of Dart to write small to medium size Web apps, and the use of HTML and CSS. It will help readers interpret others' code and enable them to further advance their programming skills. This book is for readers with no background in programming who are interested in Web development |
