Learn to Program in 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.
