Learn Flutter App Development

Language Used in Flutter Framework

Dart is an C-style syntax multiplatform object-oriented programming language used to create frontend user interfaces. It was introduced by Google in 2011.
Dart was the chosen language for Flutter SDK because of the following reasons:-

• ● Dart offers 2 types of compilers in it JIT(Just-In-Time) and AOT(Ahead-Of-Time).
• ● Because of JIT, Flutter provides feature like Hot Reload, Hot Restart which means you can see your changes in app within in seconds or sometimes in milliseconds without rebuilding complete app.
• ● As AOT compilation is faster than JIT, Flutter when making builds to upload on AppStore or play store uses Dart’s AOT compilation.
• ● Dart has its own garbage collector to manage memory usage.
• Dart also provides null safety to handle crashes in a better way.

What is Flutter?

Flutter is a SDK used to build apps for Android, iOS, web and now even for Windows and macOS. Flutter VM (Virtual Machine) paints the full screen of the app which is why it is able to run on all OS. It was introduced in 2018, December 4th by Google. The idea of this technology came from the web, as it is opened on the desktop, mobiles, etc.
Flutter only deals in Widgets, which is helpful because you can reuse your views again and again as many times as required.

Why is it more beneficial to learn Flutter than Native Apps?

You will have to code only once which will reflect on multiple platforms. If you are a company owner, instead of hiring 2 software developers for Android and iOS you can look for 2 flutter developers, which will also pace up the speed of your company’s production. If you are a client you will be paying less as you are using only one developer. In future, if you require any update in your app, it can be done cost and time efficiently. As a developer, you have to learn only one language rather than getting confused in making a choice between Swift for iOS and Java/Kotlin for Android.
As being a product of Google, it is open-source and is getting upgraded every day. In Flutter, you cannot only access the base classes of in-build Widgets(like Buttons, TextFields) but also can make changes and create your own customised ones.
