🚀 Dart Program Development

Dart is a versatile language great for building everything from simple scripts to complex web and mobile apps. Let’s dive into how you develop Dart programs, set up your environment, and ship your projects.

🛠 Setting Up Your Dart Environment

Download and install the Dart SDK from the official site.
Use dart CLI for running scripts and managing packages.
For larger apps, use pub (package manager) and dart format (formatter).
Use VS Code + Dart extension or IntelliJ IDEA with Dart plugin.

📚 How to Develop a Dart Program

Create a new file like main.dart.
Write your Dart code inside a main() function.
Run it using dart run main.dart in your terminal.
Use dart format . to clean up your code.
Manage external libraries via pubspec.yaml and dart pub get.
