Weekly Dart community update – week ending 6th July

The big news this week (apart from all the excellent videos from Google I/O) is that Dart Milestone 1 has appeared as a working target for a distinct set of functionality.  Read Bob Nystrom's excellent article Milestone 1 Language Changes on the dartlang.org site to see what to expect, check out the list of issues tagged to be fixed in milestone 1, and install the Dartwatch's own Chrome toolbar app to keep track of the remaining issue count.


As always, if I've missed anything, let me know.
