Flutter & Dart for Beginners

Embark on a comprehensive journey into Flutter for beginners, starting with the fundamentals of Dart programming and progressing to Flutter UI examples. This course is designed to teach Flutter and Dart from the ground up, making it accessible to learners with no prior knowledge. With Flutter, you can build iOS and Android apps using just one codebase, eliminating the need to learn separate languages for each platform.

Explore different approaches for loading and managing data in Flutter apps, empowering you to create seamless user experiences across multiple devices. Flutter, a Cross-platform Mobile Development Framework developed by Google, streamlines the process of building native mobile apps for both iOS and Android using the Dart programming language. Say goodbye to the need for learning Swift/Objective-C and Kotlin/Java—Flutter enables you to write apps for both platforms effortlessly.

• Basic programming language knowledge is helpful but not mandatory.
• For Android app development, you can use macOS, Windows, or Linux, while iOS apps require macOS. macOS is recommended.
• You’ll need Xcode (version 14 recommended) for building and running iOS apps.
• Android Studio is required for building and running Android apps.
• Visual Studio Code is recommended for development.
