JavaScript is a highly capable programming language, but it wasn't
designed to handle the rigorous demands of large-scale web
applications. Dart is a new programming language created by Google
to provide a better experience for developers and to address some of
JavaScript's shortcomings.
Dart in Action begins with a rapid overview of the Dart language and
provides techniques and examples showing how to use it as a viable
replacement for Java and JavaScript in browser-based desktop and
mobile applications. It covers core features such as interacting with the
browser, optional typing, classes, libraries, and concurrency with
isolates. The book also includes advanced concepts that will allow
readers to run Dart on the server and create "single page" HTML5 web
applications.
AUDIENCE
This book is intended for Java and JavaScript developers, but those
from a traditional object-orientated language background will also find
this book can make them more productive using this exciting new
language.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Dart is a new open-source structured programming language for
creating complex browser-based web applications. It has tools to help
the developer organize code and makes developing in a team of people
much easier than the current browser technologies such as JavaScript.
