| "Introducing Dart" |
| "As the internet becomes more of an application platform, the need to develop more feature-rich and immersive applications grows! Dart is a fantastic class-based, object-oriented language that pushes back on the idea that JavaScript should have a monopoly on web application development. It can be used both server side (dartVM) and client side (web browser) to build any application from a simple script to a full-blown 3D web game.Introducing Dart is a joyride of game programming where the user harnesses the power of the Dart programming language. The techniques shown in these videos can easily be applied and expanded upon to create any kind of interactive web application.We begin by learning how to install the Dart development environment, and how to get started using the Dart Editor. We then walk through building our game step-by-step until we are left with a fully functional game called Dart Worm.At the first step you will be introduced to the Dart SDK and the Dart editor software. This will provide the environment where we will design and develop our main project. Then you will learn how to use Dart to access the elements on a web page (called the DOM). Once these elements are accessed you will be shown how to manipulate them by calling methods, and how to add and remove elements from the DOM dynamically.As we move on we will be covering specific Dart classes that will help us bring the different components of our game to life. We will learn how to animate our game, keep score, and present the user with controls. Eventually, we will be putting everything we learned together and building our final game.When you have completed these videos, you will have all of the tools necessary to build and deploy a fully functional web application using the Dart programming language.About The AuthorJames Slocum is a Software Developer for TelVue, and an adjunct Computer Science professor at Mercer County Community College. He studied Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, graduating in 2008.

Upon graduation, he moved to Japan to work for a software company, mainly dealing with databases. After 15 years at that company, he started working independently, connecting databases and web technologies.Most of what Michael has written has been about Japanese baseball. He started a blog (before blogs were common) in 1995. That eventually led to writing a column for a Japanese baseball magazine for a couple of years. He relied heavily on his own baseball database for the article.He was an early adopter of Netscape Navigator 2.0's JavaScript, seeing the potential of dynamic pages early on. Unfortunately, his experience in dealing with IE 4 on a time card system in 1997 soured his opinion on JavaScript for a number of years. He then concentrated on server-side technologies and had a number of articles published in Japanese web and database periodicals.As third-party JavaScript frameworks conquered the incompatibilities, Microsoft built their own version of ECMAScript. Michael slowly came back to the dynamic scripting scene. jQuery and its ecosystem of plugins won him back full time, but it doesn't compare to the power and elegance of D3JS. Crossfilter and dcJS look like the next step in his never-ending pursuit of knowledge. This is Michael's second video course about D3JS, following the success of his Rapid D3jscourse."
