Bleeding Edge May Be Incomplete 27 Aug 2013 | 08:45 am
I need to stay away from the Dart mailing list because there is so much exciting stuff coming out that it is distracting me from what I need to do in order to finish up the next edition of Dart for Hi...
I Got Served… at Dart Pub 26 Aug 2013 | 08:37 am
Last week on the Dart mailing list, I learned that words like "pants" and "scissors" that have no singular form are called "pluralia tantum." The exquisite Bob Nystrom laid that one on us along with t...
Self-Inflicted Dangers of Multiple Method Operators in Dart 25 Aug 2013 | 08:59 am

I enjoyed exploring function signature parameters in Dart yesterday. It seemed pretty powerful stuff, with just one bit that did not work quite as expected. There was one case in which the dartanalyze...

Dart Love: Tests, Packages, and Cascades 20 Aug 2013 | 08:58 am
I am drunk on the power of Dart Pub. I have been imbibing heavily as I have driven the development of the ctrl_alt_foo library. So heavily, in fact, that I can't quite remember how I got here. The la...
Exceptions vs. Errors in Dart (and Testing) 19 Aug 2013 | 02:40 am

With the last (fingers crossed) copy edits for 3D Game Programming for Kids out of the way, it is nearly time for the final push to get Dart for Hipsters updated for the most recent Dart. Well, that'...
