In 2018, mobile app downloads topped 194 billion, and experts forecast that number to rise another 30% or more by 2022. As a developer, you need a fast, safe, efficient way to take advantage of this incredible opportunity! Enter: Flutter, a game-changing software development kit designed for building lightning-fast, stunning apps that run on iOS and Android.
Flutter in Motion walks you through a complete Flutter application start to finish! Through rich visual content and seasoned developer Scott Cornell’s expert instruction, you’ll learn about widget trees, element trees, reactive programming with Flutter, and the differences between implicit, transition, and explicit animations. You’ll discover key Flutter design patterns and best practices, learn how to handle asynchronous calls, and use ahead-of-time (AOT) and just-in-time (JIT) compilation for customization, general performance, and hot reloading.
You’ll also learn how to take advantage of Flutter’s built-in widgets while you build a fully functioning money management application. Along the way, you’ll gain exposure to Google’s Dart programming language, easy to learn for anyone with experience with a high-level language.
Flutter, a ground-breaking cross-platform software development kit created by Google, makes it easier than ever to create highly responsive, secure, beautiful native apps for iOS and Android. Flutter embraces modern design patterns, so its applications are loosely-coupled and easy to scale. And because Flutter compiles Dart code to platform-specific programs with no need for a JavaScript bridge, it’s blindingly fast. Flutter’s built-in widgets and rich motion APIs make you productive fast, so your Flutter apps are as responsive as they are gorgeous!
