Overview of this book

Flutter is a modern reactive mobile framework that removes a lot of the complexity found in building native mobile apps for iOS and Android. With Flutter, developers can now build fast and native mobile apps from a single codebase. This book is packed with 11 projects that will help you build your own mobile applications using Flutter. It begins with an introduction to Dart programming and explains how it can be used with the Flutter SDK to customize mobile apps. Each chapter contains instructions on how to build an independent app from scratch, and each project focuses on important Flutter features.From building Flutter Widgets and applying animations to using databases (SQLite and sembast) and Firebase, you'll build on your knowledge through the chapters. As you progress, you’ll learn how to connect to remote services, integrate maps, and even use Flare to create apps and games in Flutter. Gradually, you’ll be able to create apps and games that are ready to be published on the Google Play Store and the App Store. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn how to use the BLoC pattern and various best practices related to creating enterprise apps with Flutter. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to write and deliver fully functional mobile apps using Flutter.

Essential theory and context

You already know how to build mobile apps with Flutter, and, therefore, you also already know how to build beautiful, engaging, interactive web sites, as the principles for developing web apps with Flutter for the web are mostly the same. You still use Dart, widgets, libraries, and manage the state of your apps in the same way. There are some features still missing, such as hot reload, and some web-specific limitations, such as writing files on a disk, but you'll find that most of the great reasons for using Flutter are also valid for the web.

Using Flutter for Web actually has several advantages: it's easy to deploy, it allows you to quickly iterate on your applications, and—most important—it allows you to use the same code base for both mobile and web platforms.
