Build faster, smoother cross-platform apps for both Android and iOS with just one codebase using Flutter and DartAbout This VideoGet started quickly with application development concepts with Dart and Flutter.Build your first app with the fastest growing language for mobile development.Learn about the new programming language called Dart and release apps to Play Store and App StoreIn DetailFlutter is quickly becoming a well-known framework for developing cross-platform apps for both Android and iOS devices. Now developers don't have to learn Java, Kotlin, Objective-C, or Swift to have their apps on Play Store or the App Store. While there are other frameworks for building cross-platform apps, Flutter excels by using a great new language called Dart.With Dart and Flutter, you will develop apps for both stores with just one codebase. It compiles apps into native code without webview. Apps made with Flutter are very fast because of their high rendering power. Hence, they feel super-smooth, thus providing a rich user experience.With this course, you will be able to build app layouts, create widget animations, pull and push data to servers, and compile and release code to both stores.The code bundle for this video course is available at- https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Dart-Build-your-first-app-with-FlutterDownloading the example code for this course: You can download the example code files for all Packt video courses you have purchased from your account at http://www.PacktPub.com.
