Getting Started with Flutter
Getting started with Flutter can get incredibly easy and successful. Given the increasing demand and everything that is uncharted about it, we have plenty of room to explore and enrich ourselves with this technology. Keeping in mind the endeavour that developers take up everyday to provide simple and impeccable technical aspects, WalkingTree has decided to curate a series of blog posts and webinars on Flutter. The right kind of information can bring about upgradation and help in venturing out confidently in what might seem challenging and unknown. Therefore, flutter is made familiar, wholesome and natural here. Flutter: Your Next Mobile Framework was our first initiative in this direction.
What is Flutter?
Flutter is Google’s free and open source framework for creating cross platform applications for mobile, web and desktop, from a single codebase. Though Flutter’s support for mobile applications (iOS and ARM Android) is 100% and thousands of apps have already shipped, web and desktop support has some caveats and work is under progress to make it fully functional. But once Google officially announces it, it would be really interesting to write one codebase with Flutter SDK and see it run on different form factors. This would surely speed up development and reduce the cost and complexity of application production across platforms.
Flutter majorly incorporates two things:
- SDK — a 2D Rendering Engine Skia and c ommand-line tools for creating, building, testing, and compiling Flutter apps for different platforms
- Framework — rich set of widgets and packages for creating UIs for both Android and iOS , plugin APIs to connect to the system and 3rd-party SDKs
