Dart workshop with code lab

Today I hosted a three-hour workshop/code lab with my colleagues at FindOut. I started off with a Dart Quiz as a way to see how much they knew about Dart and to get some good discussions started.

Then I showed them some of the slides from the Google I/O '13 presentation by +Justin Fagnani and +Seth Ladd, especially pointing out the improvements in syntax and standard libraries compared to JavaScript.

After that they went through the Pirate badge code lab which is so well documented that I hardly had to assist at all.

Finally, I talked about some cool things built with Dart:

• AngularDart
• Polymer.dart
• The new development editor for Chrome Apps 
• Minecraft creator's latest toy project using Dart and WebGL 

The workshop was very well received and the feedback was that it was really easy to get started with web development using Dart.
