Why you should know about Flutter?
What is Flutter?
Flutter is a free and open-source mobile UI framework created by Google and released in May 2017. In a few words, it allows you to create a native mobile application with only one codebase. This means that you can use one programming language and one codebase to create two different apps (for iOS and Android).
To develop with Flutter, you will use a programming language called Dart. The language was created by Google in October 2011, but it has improved a lot over these past years.
What’s more, Flutter:
- Is free and open source,
- Reduced Code Development Time
- Custom, Animated UI of Any Complexity Available
- Provide its own widgets, drawn with its own high-performance rendering engine. They are fast, pretty, and customizable
- It doesn’t require a JavaScript bridge to talk to OEM widgets.
So, what’s Dart?
Dart is an object-oriented programming language by Google, which aims to help the developer build modern web applications. It covers client, server and now mobile with Flutter. It comes with a range of tools including a virtual machine, core libraries and package management repository, lending enough ammunition to get started with on your next project.
Although Flutter is gaining traction, it can easily obscure the beauty of the Dart platform and what it offers, independently of Flutter.
