Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will explore the Dart language. You can do this via DartPad, which will be explained later in the chapter, or within your chosen integrated development environment (IDE), as discussed in Chapter 1, An Introduction to Flutter.

Either option will allow you to experiment with your code. If you choose to use your IDE, then you will need to ensure your system has been configured correctly to run Dart programs. Please refer to Chapter 1, An Introduction to Flutter for details on how to ensure your system is ready to do this.
