Dart Journey

Functional programming and object-oriented programming concepts can be best understood by typed languages, or the Dart programming language.

Dart is a programming language created by Google, and it is a Typed programming language.

Dart is simple and has helped me understand the concept of Functional and Object-Oriented Programming languages.

JavaScript has been my primary language for decades. Both in frontend and backend. It isn't quite long. I started using Typescript (.ts) in JavaScript.

Learning Dart has opened my eyes to how awesome typed languages are 👌.

Dart is a simple and easy language for me to grasp, especially coming from the JavaScript ecosystem. Its syntax is similar, but the native typing differentiates it.

// Variable Declaration
int someValue = 10;
double someValue1 = 2.5;
String someString = "hello world";

// Function Definition
void printSomething() {
  print("hello world");
}

// Dart List
List<int> listOfNumbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
print(listOfNumbers);

// Records (Dart 3+ feature)
(var first, var second, var third) = ("value 1", "value 2", "...");
print((first, second, third));

// Set
Set<String> setSomething = {"set 1", "set 2", "set 3"};
print(setSomething);

// Map
Map<String, String> valueSomething = {
  "key": "value",
  "key1": "value 1",
};
print(valueSomething);

// Class Example
class Cookie {
  String shape;

  Cookie(this.shape);

  void baking() {
    print("Baking a $shape cookie");
  }
}

// Usage
void main() {
  printSomething();

  Cookie cookie = Cookie("round");
  cookie.baking();
}
  

Dart is a standard programming language for Flutter.

I'm learning Dart to create a secure marketplace for students to buy and sell without the fear of scams.

Watch OUT for my next updates.

Thanks for reading to this point.
