Dart Programming

In the course Dart programming from SpiralTrain the participants learn to program in the general purpose language Dart that was originally developed by Google.

Dart Intro

In the Dart Programming course participants learn the features of application development with Dart. We discuss the Dart SDK and the transpiler dart2js which generates a JavaScript equivalent of Dart Script.

Dart Syntax

Next attention is paid to data types, generics and control flow in Dart. Dart is type safe, supports type inference and prevents null pointer exceptions with a null safety mechanism.

Functions and Data Structures

The characteristics of functions and data structures in Dart are also discussed. For example data structures from the core library, runes and the mirror system are treated and optional parameters and lambda functions in functions as well.

Classes and Objects

Dart is an object-oriented language and the implementation of constructors, interfaces, exceptions and inheritance in Dart are treated. Extension methods are also covered here.

Concurrency

Finally concurrency in Dart is extensively discussed, whereby parallel tasks can be performed by multiple concurrent threads. Attention is also paid to asynchronous I/O with Dart Futures and the Async Package.

Audience Course Dart Programming

The course Dart Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn programming in the programming language Dart.

Prerequisites Course Dart Programming

In order to participate in this course basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial to understanding but is not required.

Realization Training Dart Programming

The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is explained further through demos. After discussing a module there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30 to 16.30.

Certification Dart Programming Course

Participants receive an official Dart Programming certificate after successful completion of the course.
