Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals (First Edition): Modern Cross-Platform Programming With Dart

Dart is the language you use to write cross-platform applications in Flutter. You're not limited to Flutter, though. You can also use Dart to write command-line and backend server applications. The official documentation is great, but it doesn't go into the depth or provide all the examples that a book can.

Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals is here to help by systematically teaching you the essential elements of programming using the Dart language.

Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals is for anyone who wants to learn the Dart programming language, even if this is their first language and they know nothing at all about coding.

• Expressions: Using math and logic to calculate a value.
• Variables and Constants: Storing values for future use.
• Data types: Categorizing the kind of information a variable can hold.
• Control Flow: Making decisions based on values.
• Strings: Working with text.
• Loops: Repeating a task multiple times.
• Functions: Grouping a few lines of code to run later.
• Classes: Packaging related data and functions together.
• Nullability: Avoiding crashing when nothing is there.
• Collections: Grouping data into lists, sets and maps.

One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you'll have a solid foundation in programming generally and the Dart language in particular.
