Discover how to build, scale, and debug native iOS and Android applications from a single codebase using the Dart programming language - a hands-on approach Key Features Work through practical recipes for building mobile applications with Flutter Quickly build and iterate on your user interface (UI) with hot reload Fix bugs and prevent them from reappearing using Flutter's developer tools and test suites Book Description"Anyone interested in developing Flutter applications for Android or iOS should have a copy of this book on their desk." - Amazon 5* Review Lauded as the 'Flutter bible' for new and experienced mobile app developers, this recipe-based guide will teach you the best practices for robust app development, as well as how to solve cross-platform development issues. From setting up and customizing your development environment to error handling and debugging, The Flutter Cookbook covers the how-tos as well as the principles behind them. As you progress, the recipes in this book will get you up to speed with the main tasks involved in app development, such as user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, API design, and creating animations. Later chapters will focus on routing, retrieving data from web services, and persisting data locally. A dedicated section also covers Firebase and its machine learning capabilities. The last chapter is specifically designed to help you create apps for the web and desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Throughout the book, you'll also find recipes that cover the most important features needed to build a cross-platform application, along with insights into running a single codebase on different platforms. By the end of this Flutter book, you'll be writing and delivering fully functional apps with confidence. What you will learn Use Dart programming to customize your Flutter applications Discover how to develop and think like a Dart programmer Leverage Firebase Machine Learning capabilities to create intelligent apps Create reusable architecture that can be applied to any type of app Use web services and persist data locally Debug and solve problems before users can see them Use asynchronous programming with Future and Stream Manage the app state with Streams and the BLoC pattern Who this book is forIf you're familiar with the basic concepts of programming and have your eyes set on developing mobile apps using Dart, then this book is for you. As a beginner, you'll benefit from the clear and concise step-by-step recipes, while a more experienced programmer will learn best practices and find useful tips. You'll get the most out of this book if you have experience coding in either JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin, Java, Objective-C, or C#.

Learn Flutter and the Dart programming language by building impressive real-world mobile applications for Android and iOS Key Features Learn cross-platform mobile development with Flutter and Dart by building 11 real-world apps Create wide array of mobile projects such as 2D game, productivity timer, movie browsing app, and more Practical projects demonstrating Flutter development techniques with tips, tricks, and best practices Book DescriptionFlutter is a modern reactive mobile framework that removes a lot of the complexity found in building native mobile apps for iOS and Android. With Flutter, developers can now build fast and native mobile apps from a single codebase. This book is packed with 11 projects that will help you build your own mobile applications using Flutter. It begins with an introduction to Dart programming and explains how it can be used with the Flutter SDK to customize mobile apps. Each chapter contains instructions on how to build an independent app from scratch, and each project focuses on important Flutter features.From building Flutter Widgets and applying animations to using databases (SQLite and sembast) and Firebase, you'll build on your knowledge through the chapters. As you progress, you'll learn how to connect to remote services, integrate maps, and even use Flare to create apps and games in Flutter. Gradually, you'll be able to create apps and games that are ready to be published on the Google Play Store and the App Store. In the concluding chapters, you'll learn how to use the BLoC pattern and various best practices related to creating enterprise apps with Flutter. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to write and deliver fully functional mobile apps using Flutter. What you will learn Design reusable mobile architectures that can be applied to apps at any scale Get up to speed with error handling and debugging for mobile application development Apply the principle of 'composition over inheritance' to break down complex problems into many simple problems Update your code and see the results immediately using Flutter's hot reload Identify and prevent bugs from reappearing with Flutter's developer tools Manage an app's state with Streams and the BLoC pattern Build a simple web application using Flutter Web Who this book is forThis book is for mobile developers and software developers who want to learn Flutter to build state-of-the-art mobile apps. Although prior experience with Dart programming or Flutter is not required, knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP), data structures and software design patterns will be beneficial.
