First Impressions of Flutter

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 16:23:34 -0400

Google recently announced availability of 1.0 preview of Flutter, a new framework for building mobile apps, written from scratch with performance and beautiful UIs in mind. I’ve always been interested in building apps for mobile devices in general and Android in particular thanks to the number of Android devices I own, but was always discouraged by the complexity of building Android apps. I have one on the Android store that got too unwieldy to work on and I eventually had to cease development due to time constraints. Now with flutter closing in on its first release build I got interested, not only because it is a new beginning to building mobile apps – and we all know that developers love newly built things – but also because it uses Dart, Googles attempt to create a language to replace JavaScript that, sadly, went not far.
