Book DescriptionThe demand for fast, efficient, and cost-effective cross-platform mobile app development has never been higher. Google's Flutter framework, paired with the powerful Dart programming language, provides developers with a modern toolkit for building high-performance apps with native-like UI, consistent performance, and a shared codebase across multiple platforms.
This book offers a complete, practical introduction to cross-platform development with Flutter and Dart, ideal for aspiring developers and professionals seeking to build scalable mobile applications, desktop apps, or web apps with a single codebase. You'll start by understanding how Flutter's architecture delivers fast rendering, smooth animations, and flexible UI design through its widget-based system.
From there, you'll explore the Dart language in depth-covering variables, classes, functions, async/await, object-oriented structure, and coding patterns essential for Flutter development. You'll then learn how to build your first Flutter app, structure your project, manage navigation, handle user input, and create stunning UI layouts using Flutter's extensive widget library.
As the book progresses, you'll integrate real-world features such as REST API consumption, JSON parsing, local storage, authentication logic, and plugin-based functionality. You'll master key state management techniques (setState, Provider, and more), explore Flutter animations, handle forms and validation, and learn how to design responsive interfaces for different screen sizes.
You'll also gain hands-on experience with debugging tools, performance optimization techniques, and the full deployment pipeline-from building release APKs to publishing on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and web hosting platforms. Every chapter is written with clarity and practical examples to help you become confident in real-world Flutter app development.
By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to build, test, optimize, and deploy fully functional cross-platform applications-while gaining a strong understanding of the Flutter ecosystem, Dart language, and best practices that drive modern mobile development today.
