Learn Dart for free with this interactive course. Dart is a clean, simple, class-based, object-oriented language with more structure than JavaScript, the programming language it's heavily based on. However, you can't have a conversation about Dart without mentioning Flutter. 

Flutter is Google's mobile UI framework for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android. Flutter applications are written using the Dart programming language, which has helped make Dart a beloved language by the developer community. Before you can start fluttering out Flutter applications, you must learn Dart. This course will help you learn the fundamentals of Dart and start your journey to learning Flutter.

Learn Dart: First Step to Flutter


Dart 1.0 was released on November 14th, 2013 by Google and was founded by Lars Bak and Kasper Lund. It aims to help developers build modern web and mobile applications. It covers client, server, and now mobile with Flutter. Coming with a range of tools including a virtual machine, core libraries and package management repository, it lends enough ammunition for you to get started on your next project.

## Dart is object-oriented

**Smalltalk** was released in the 1970s and was one of the first pure object-oriented programming languages. You can now find object-oriented programming everywhere. It has dominated the world of programming languages.
The concept behind object-oriented programming is quite simple: all but the most trivial programs require a particular form of structure.

The most clear-cut way of achieving this particular structure is by using the concept of storage containers. A programming language can be divided into data and operations to be performed on data. We can store specific data and operations in some type of container. Furthermore, these containers are made to be general. Hence, they not only store data and operations but they are themselves values that can be stored in other containers and passed as parameters to other operations. In object-oriented programming, these containers are known as objects.

Alan Kay, the inventor of Smalltalk, remarked that in this way, the simplest object has the same construction principle as a full computer: it combines data with operations under a formalized interface. And now, even though object-oriented programming can be found in a multitude of languages, very few actually follow the principles set by Smalltalk. Dart, on the other hand, is a pure object-oriented programming language with every value being an object.
