Introduction

This chapter is about increasing our mastery of the Dart platform. Dart is Google's new language for the modern web, web clients, as well as server applications. Compared to JavaScript, Dart is a higher-level language so it will yield better productivity. Moreover, it delivers increased performance. To tame all that power, we need a good working environment, which is precisely what Dart Editor provides. Dart Editor is quite a comprehensive environment in its own right and it is worthwhile to know the more advanced and hidden features it exposes. Some functionalities are only available in the command-line tools, so we must discuss these as well.
