What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I generally agree with the four-star and five-star reviews that have been posted here. "Learning Dart" does deliver a good overview for inexperienced developers and experienced developers alike. I have tested some of the code samples on Linux and Windows machines and have enjoyed working with the DartEditor.But I ran into a couple of typos in the print version while hand-typing some of the code examples. So I urge beginners to download and use the code examples from the Packt website. And, when studying the code examples in the book (even the simplest ones), pay closer attention to the code that you can pull up in the editor.One other matter that some new Dartsians may encounter: Norton 360 antivirus software tends to throw dart.exe into quarantine on Windows machines--and that stops Dart cold. There is a fairly simple way to retrieve the file from quarantine and tell Norton 360 to let it run. Check the Dart community page on Google+ for info on that and some other approaches to avoiding the problem.Also, the book was published soon after Dart 1.0 was released, and Dart has continued to evolve a bit. (Its stable version was 1.4.3 at this time this review was written.) So there will be some slight differences in screen displays and other matters.I have read other books on how to get started with Dart, and I rate this one the best and most useful at this time..

To begin with, I wish to emphasize that I am writing this review without having fully read the book, I've only checked for a few hours.This book is about Dart, a programming language created by Google in order to facilitate the creation of web applications.The first 3 chapters are about the language syntax. If you already know how to program, it will be very easy to read, especially if you know Java and JavaScript, as the syntax has seemed like a mix between these two languages.In Chapter 4 the fun begins, you'll see the importance of creating a consistent data model as the first step in creating an application.Chapters 5 and 6 discuss issues related to HTML5: DOM handling, forms, events ... frontend development.Under the pretext of create an HTML5 game, in Chapter 7 you'll put into practice what you've seen so far.Chapter 9 deepen even further in creating a data model. I was surprised that the book devotes two chapters to this subject, but I will say that the examples included are high quality.You'll know the active community that is forming around Dart through chapters 8 and 10, which talks about, among other frameworks or libraries: Polymer.dart, DQuery, Rikulo, PureMVC and Angular.dart.To complete the book, the last chapters are related to the client-server communication and data storage. Again I must emphasize the complete and useful examples included.My opinion on this book is very positive, I was surprised by the amount of information that includes about a relatively new language.Although you can find a lot of information about Dart on the official website or alternative blogs, you won't find complete and extensive articles as examples in this book.If you are interested in learning Dart quickly and reliably, I'd say you can not miss this book.

With the release of Dart 1.0 in November 2013 we received a powerful tool for crafting robust, modern and scalable web apps. The knowledge base available for anyone wanting to get to know this Google developed language is growing, so I guess that soon we will be looking at “must-read Dart books” lists and this one has every chance of making it into each developer's canon.Who is this book for? Well, it could be a bit too much for total novices in the programming world, but otherwise I think it's really well-suited both for seasoned developers eager to try Dart, or “post-beginners” familiar with basic programming concepts and (at least having heard about) some of the latest web technologies. As authors state, because of its dual focus the book “can appeal to both web developers who want to learn a modern way of developing web applications, and to developers who seek guidance on how to use HTML5.”The core of the book are some useful Dart projects that the audience should code along, or better – code around, as authors decided to use the so-called spiral approach for explaining the vital concepts of web development with Dart. This means that on the beginning the simple solution to a given problem is presented, but later on it is being further developed (either on the basis of existing work or from scratch but making use of the just introduced concepts) in a few iterations called spirals. I am a big fan of this approach and think it is one of the best for teaching complex matters like programming – it both gives confidence about one's abilities and allows to make use of existing knowledge, while gradually expanding the student's set of skills.Learning Dart is a very comprehensive volume that covers an impressive range of Dart web development related concepts: from basics like built-in types and their methods or using classes and objects to combining Dart with HTML5 forms, developing business apps with Polymer web components, client-server communication or data-driven web apps with MongoDB and MySQL, to name just a few. Just take a look at the table of contents! It can literally take you from zero to hero in no time.tl;dr if you're looking at this review chances are you're in need of a good book that can get you up to speed with Dart programming language, look no further! This one will do it for you whether you're a ninja-rockstar-knight-commander or what have you of whatever programming language you're into or just a simple peasant trying to not feel overwhelmed by the amount of skills you have to acquire to pretend to not be a peasant anymore. And if you're somewhere in the middle, I am pretty sure Learning Dart it will do it for you too.

The book goes through the syntax and capabilities of dart in a very straightforward manner, can't ask for more and really don't feel like I am missing much. Some general programming experience might be advantageous before diving into the book though, perhaps on the level of "Learning Python the hard way" or similar book.

As an experienced software developer who is new to Dart, I really enjoyed this book. It begins walking through the structure and syntax of the Dart language. The description of each language feature also included the reasoning behind why particular conventions were chosen and what other languages the ideas came from. This additional information gave me a better understanding of the language and how it is designed to be used.The book covers all the major components of Dart and is a great introduction to the language and how to use it. Beyond the standard syntax and semantics, there are several nice examples of working with Polymer and HTML5 in the book. Also, there are a few different sections covering writing server code in Dart. All of the various components required to get you up and running are covered. Including a brief section on installing git and getting connected to github and walk through on installing the Dart Editor.One of the twelve chapters in the book is dedicated to a framework for automatically generating Dart code from data models. This is done using Model Concepts, Dartlero and Dartling, several open source applications created by one of the authors. There are also a few examples later in the book that use these tools as their basis. If this functionality is of interst to you, then you will really appreciate the tools and instruction the authors have provided in this area. Otherwise you might wish the space was used to cover a different topic.Near the end of the book there is a brief overview of the various web and UI frameworks available for Dart and some descriptions of each. There is also a section listing the various databases drivers that are available in Dart. With so many options available in these areas as a new user I really appreciated having a brief overview of each of these libraries and what they provide.I found myself wishing there was a whole chapter dedicated to AngularDart instead of just a short description. It is a new framework, but seems to be one of the most full featured application framework in Dart and it would have been great to explore it more. Perhaps this section can be expanded in a future edition or maybe it requires a book of its own.Dart is a new an evolving language and keeping up with the fast pace of updates is a real challenge. However, the authors did a good job of updating the content as the language has evolved. For example the elements in the sample code use Polymer ui instead of the older Dart ui. I have done other tutorials that were dated in this regard.Some minor suggestions. I might be nice to integrate some syntax highlighting in the sample code to increase the readability. Also, I did some of my reading on a mobile phone and found the sample code margins a bit too wide.If you are interested in learning about Dart I think this book is a great resource. It covers all the major language features and goes in to deeper depth on many areas that you will find in most tutorials and examples on the web. The authors also seem to be active in the Dart community and are making efforts to provide useful open source tools for Dart developers such as their model based code generation framework.
