Dart foundations for Flutter

Build from syntax and values to reusable code and safe app logic.

1

Foundations

Learn the language pieces that every Flutter app uses.

  • Variables
    Store values in named boxes.
  • Data Types
    Understand strings, ints, and booleans.
2

Decision Flow

Teach your code when to take one path or another.

  • Conditionals
    Use if, else if, and else.
  • Loops
    Repeat steps without copy-paste.
3

Code Structure

Start organizing logic so your apps stay readable.

  • Functions
    Reuse logic with small building blocks.
  • Lists & Maps
    Store collections of values.
4

Safe & Object-Oriented Dart

Prepare for real projects with safer code and classes.

  • Null Safety
    Avoid common runtime bugs.
  • OOP Basics
    Model data and behavior with classes.

What you will learn

  • • Variables, data types, and print output
  • • Decision making with if/else and switch
  • • Repeating logic with loops and functions
  • • Collections, null safety, and object-oriented programming

Suggested order

  1. 1. Start with variables and data types
  2. 2. Practice conditions and loops
  3. 3. Learn functions and collections
  4. 4. Move into null safety and classes
