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.
