Explore what Flutter has to offer, where it came from, and where it's
going. Mobile development is progressing at a fast rate and with
Flutter - an open-source mobile application development SDK created by
Google - you can develop applications for Android and iOS, as well as
Google Fuchsia.Learn to create three apps (a personal information
manager, a chat system, and a game project) that you can install on your
mobile devices and use for real. You will begin by getting a solid
foundation of Flutter knowledge, and building on it immediately by
constructing two more traditional productivity apps.. You will also
learn to create a game, enabling you to see a whole other perspective on
what Flutter can do. In addition to building these apps, you'll have the
benefit of reviewing real-world issues you might encounter, along with
ways to deal with them through tips and tricks, all designed to make
your Flutter experience that much more productive and, frankly, fun!
Practical Flutter will leave you with a solid grasp of how to build
apps with Flutter, and springboard into creating more advanced apps on
your own. By the time your journey through this material concludes,
another larger one will begin as you springboard, well-prepared, into
the larger world of Flutter development, tackling any project that comes
your way with aplomb. Practical Flutter is a learning adventure you
won't want to miss.
What You'll Learn
- Get a Flutter project started and logically structure it
- Use the interface elements Flutter provides, such as widgets,
controls, and extensions
- Build layouts using interface elements
- Use available tooling, specifically Android Studio
- Leverage server-side development and connect a Flutter app to a server
back-end.
Who This Book Is For
Mobile developers who are looking to build for multiple mobile platforms
and trying to do so with a codebase that is largely the same across all.
Basic knowledge of iOS and Android generally, and some general
programming experience is expected.
