January BayPIGgies meeting: Thursday, January 26, 2012: Dart 

Speaker: Shannon JJ Behrens 

Abstract:

Dart is a new class-based programming language for creating structured
web applications. Developed with the goals of simplicity, efficiency,
and scalability, the Dart language combines powerful new language
features with familiar language constructs into a clear, readable
syntax.  Why is Dart significant?  Because Google has a fork of WebKit
with the Dart VM integrated into the browser!


Bio:
