Introduction to Dart & Setup

What is Dart?

Dart is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Google. It is optimized for client-side development and powers Flutter, the leading framework for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

Why Dart?

• Fast development with hot reload
• Excellent performance
• Strong type system with null safety
• Cross-platform with Flutter

Installation

Download the Dart SDK from dart.dev or install Flutter (which includes Dart).

flutter --version

Your First Dart Program

  print("Hello, Dart Mastery!");
  print("Ready to build cross-platform apps!");
}
