Good introduction. However the language makes it outdated.

Good introduction. However the language makes it outdated.
For example, the text makes it sound like it is just hatched, however, that was — now — a decade ago.

This was really like a blog post more than a complete book. The code wasn't the most exciting but its enough to set your expectations right about dart.

Just a simple intro to the dart language

The book it just a glance of the language and does go in depth. Good for the curious developer that is wandering about the language.

useful but old

This very short book gives a quick but useful intro and overview of the dart language, as it was in 2012 or thereabouts. An updated version would be useful.

More of a sales pitch then a tech book, but it was informative.

Not much of a book. Could have been a blog post. It's ok for a quick and very brief overview and it's free to download.

A long article, rather than a book. Basically it is a general introduction to Dart, Google's new language.

Quick easy read. This doesn't go in-depth into the language, expecting the readers to already be familiar with Java or JavaScript. Rather it showcases the difference between Dart and Javascript.
