Introduction to Dart

Dart is a language built by Google for building fast apps on any platform, it's best known today as the language Flutter apps are written in. Its syntax will feel familiar if you've used Java, JavaScript, or C#.

Example: a minimal Dart program

void main() {
  print('Hello, world!');
}

Hello, world!

Every Dart program starts execution from a main() function, no wrapping class required, unlike Java or C#, which is one small but real difference even though Dart's overall style leans C-family. If you continue into the Flutter subject after this one, everything you learn here about variables, functions, and classes transfers directly, since Flutter code is Dart code.
