Recently I read “Dart in Action” by Chris Buckett. I know Chris from the early days of the Dart language. We both joined the community almost instantly. At the day of Darts arrival, he founded Dartwatch.com and blogs on all aspects of the language. Chris is definitely one of these guys who knows what he writes. [...]
Recently I got the book “Dart: Up and Running” written by Kathy Walrath and Seth Ladd. Both authors are well-known in the Dart community. Kathy is responsible for so much great docs on dartlang.org and Seth was the Dart-Ambassador since the language first faced the world (or even earlier, who knows). Definitely you want to meet [...]
On 22.11.2012 I was guest of the Java Usergroup in Stuttgart. It was a fun evening, with a lot of discussion on Dart. Here are the slides which I used: Dart != JavaScript from Christian Grobmeier What have I learned from that evening? Not everybody likes JavaScript First, there are still a lot of people [...]
Roadcrew.js lets you switch pages in single file html5 apps. It has also been ported to Dart.

But what actually is the difference? How does one develop in Dart? What can one do with this new language? This talk gives an introduction to Dart, [...]
Today I realized the third and final article of my Dart series has been published already! You get it in the current issue of the Entwickler Magazin (cover below). This time it is all about Isolates. In addition I have been told that the Dart series is included in a special edition of the publishing [...]
On tuesday (24.04.2012) I was guest of the Java User Group Saxony. I met nice people and was pretty impressed by the well done organization of this little event. Thanks to the JUG Saxony we could finally reveal the secret: who rocks more, Motörhead or the uprising Dart? You can check out the my slides [...]
Part 2 of the small article series on Dart just appeared in the Entwickler Magazin. While Part 1 covered the basics, Part 2 is more into DOM manipulation. Enjoy!
When I found out that Google Dart supports Isolates (which is some kind of multithreading for Dart, if have not heard it yet) I was excited. Still Isolates are among my favorites. But the first version of the API was pretty complex. It reminded heavily on Java Threading and honestly it was pretty difficult to [...]
