Why you should learn Flutter on the web

If you are already developing mobile applications with Flutter, imagine the same code base deploying to the web with only a few or no tweaks required. Imagine not even having to write native code most of the time. If you don’t know much about the web, it doesn’t matter – with Flutter, you don’t need to. However, I do suggest gaining basic knowledge of the web as a platform and how it’s different from mobile applications. We will discuss this topic later in this chapter.

If you are a developer looking to enhance your toolbox, improve your career, and you are interested in mobile development, Flutter is the right choice for 2022. Not only is Flutter popular among developer communities, but it also has lots of job opportunities in the industry as Flutter has become one of the best cross-platform frameworks of choice among companies as well as developers.

It’s easy to learn Flutter as there are lots of resources online. There are tons of free and paid courses, articles, and videos. Thanks to Flutter being a popular choice in the community and being open source, many developers have created a lot of free content around it. There are thousands of open source example projects on GitHub, from small examples to full-fledged real-world applications. Having this amount of references makes it easy to learn. As Flutter is so popular among the developer community, many problems you may have while learning Flutter will have already been solved by the community. You can easily find answers on platforms such as GitHub and Stack Overflow.

Those of you who are confused about which framework to learn, as there are many alternatives, such as Kotlin Multiplatform, .NET MAUI, React Native, Ionic, Apache Cordova, and more that I may not even know about, I implore you to try Flutter at least once. I myself have tried both React Native and Flutter, and later have completely switched to Flutter as I love the whole ecosystem of tools it provides.
