Meet Flutter

 An introduction to Google's UI toolkit for


building beautiful, natively compiled
applications
Introduction to Flutter
 What is Flutter?
◦ Open-source UI framework by Google.
◦ Used for building cross-platform apps (iOS,
Android, Web, and Desktop) from a single
codebase.
◦ Written in Dart programming language.
◦ Powers apps like Google Ads, Alibaba, and
more.
Benefits of Using Flutter

 Single Codebase for Multiple Platforms


◦ Write code once, run it on iOS, Android, and more.
 Fast Development
◦ Hot Reload for instant updates in development.
◦ Save time on debugging and UI adjustments.
 Expressive and Flexible UI
◦ Offers a rich set of customizable widgets to create
beautiful UIs.
 High Performance
◦ Flutter compiles to native ARM code, ensuring
smooth performance on mobile platforms.
Why Flutter?
 Cross-Platform Development
◦ One codebase for multiple platforms.
◦ No need for separate teams to maintain Android and iOS
apps.
 Fast Prototyping and Iteration
◦ Hot Reload feature allows developers to instantly see
changes without losing app state.
 Performance
◦ Flutter apps run natively, thanks to compiled code (not
interpreted like web-based hybrid apps).
 Native Integration
 Access platform-specific APIs and libraries with
plugins and platform channels.
Building UIs in Flutter
 Widgets as Building Blocks
◦ Everything in Flutter is a Widget (text,
buttons, layouts, etc.).
◦ Widgets are arranged in a widget tree,
creating the structure of the UI.
◦ Stateless vs Stateful widgets:
 Stateless: No internal state, static content.
 Stateful: Manages state and can be updated
dynamically.
Flutter’s Rendering Engine
 How Flutter Renders UIs
◦ Uses Skia graphics engine to render UIs.
◦ Draws every pixel on the screen, giving fine
control over every part of the UI.
 Native Performance
◦ Flutter’s engine communicates directly with the
platform’s canvas, resulting in highly
performant apps.
 Custom Rendering
◦ Since Flutter handles rendering independently of
the platform, UI looks consistent across devices.
Conclusion
 Summary of Key Points:
◦ Flutter provides a fast, productive, and
powerful framework for building cross-platform
applications.
◦ Its Hot Reload, widgets, and native
performance make it stand out from other
frameworks.
 Rendering engine ensures smooth and
flexible UIs that look consistent on
different platforms.
