Summary

In this chapter, we introduced you to Flutter on the web and also explained why you should learn Flutter. We then learned what it is good to build with Flutter on the web and what is not suitable (at this current time) to build with Flutter on the web. We also built and ran a default Flutter starter project on the web platform. Finally, we also introduced Flutter on the web from the perspective of a web developer and a mobile developer, and we described how building for Flutter on the web can be different from regular web app development and regular mobile development.

In the next chapter, we will start diving deep into creating our project for the book. We will begin by building a basic layout for our application.
