What is Flutter?

Flutter is an innovative user interface toolkit crafted by Google that facilitates the development of visually appealing, natively compiled applications across mobile, web, and desktop platforms, all from a single codebase. Thanks to its Stateful Hot Reload feature, developers can animate their applications almost instantly, enhancing productivity. The toolkit boasts a rich assortment of customizable widgets, allowing for the rapid construction of native interfaces in just a few minutes. This efficient development approach prioritizes features that improve the native user experience significantly. Flutter’s layered architecture lends itself to extensive customization possibilities, resulting in swift rendering capabilities and designs that are both expressive and versatile. The widgets are thoughtfully designed to incorporate necessary platform-specific differences, such as scrolling behaviors, navigation patterns, icons, and fonts, while the Flutter code is compiled into native ARM machine code through Dart's native compilers for optimal performance. The hot reload functionality greatly enhances workflow efficiency, allowing developers to experiment, refine user interfaces, add new features, and fix bugs with ease. With Flutter, developers can experience near-instant reload times without losing application state, whether using emulators, simulators, or actual devices. This fluid development experience encourages a more dynamic approach to app design, simplifying the processes of innovation and iteration, and empowering developers to bring their creative visions to life more effectively. As a result, Flutter is rapidly becoming a preferred choice for developers aiming to create high-quality applications across multiple platforms.

    Future of Application Development

    Date: Dec 10 2020
    Summary

    It is the future of mobile app development. Google has started to change the source code of its application to flutter. Moreover, it has a vast set of pre-defined modules and supports tons of plugins. The language used to code in flutter is dart which is also dynamic, which makes it a lot easier to code. It is fast, secure and, up to date.

    Positive

    When I came to know about this framework, I got very excited because it is cross-platform and faster than native frameworks which are used to make their respective platform applications. Few more pros are:
    - It is free to use.
    - Regular updates from Google.
    - Very easy to use.
    - Developers are shifting to flutter for application development.

    Negative

    The only con about Flutter is:
    it is new in the market. We got its very first stable version a few months ago. Moreover, because it is new, we do not have a lot of support-community.

    A very good app development framework

    Date: Aug 07 2020
    Summary

    If your project demands you to be very quick at delivery and be able to target the widest cross-platform user base. Flutter is a great option to consider despite a smaller community.

    Positive

    - I like that flutter draws its UI from scratch every time based on the platform, the display resolution, and the device. This prevents a lot of errors you typically see during development.
    - The fact that Flutter is pre-compiled removes some overhead and makes it faster than something like react-native.

    Negative

    - Flutter is based on a new programming language called Dart. It's easy to learn but can be a problem for someone working on it for a short time.
