What is Flutter?

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit (SDK)


created by Google that allows developers to build natively
compiled applications for mobile (Android & iOS), web,
desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), and embedded devices
using a single codebase.

 Single codebase for Android, iOS, web, and desktop apps.


 Uses Dart programming language.
 Great for creating beautiful, natively compiled applications.

Flutter Features
Leveraging the Power of the
Community
2-1 Flutter Features
1 Cross-Platform Development:
Write once, deploy anywhere. A single codebase can target
multiple platforms like Android, iOS, web, and desktop.

2 Dart Programming Language:


Flutter uses Dart, a programming language also developed by Google,
which is optimized for fast app execution, clear syntax, and ease of
Rich UI with Customizable
development.
3
Widgets:
Flutter enables the creation of highly customizable and visually rich UIs using its vast array of pre-built
widgets, or you can build your own custom widgets to meet specific design needs.
2-2 Flutter Features
4 Widget-Based Architecture:
Everything in Flutter is a widget. Widgets are the building blocks of Flutter applications, used to
define elements like layouts, text, images, buttons, and more.
Flutter offers two widget libraries: Material Design (for Android-like UI) and Cupertino (for iOS-like
UI).
5 Hot Reload:
Flutter's Hot Reload feature allows developers to instantly see the results of code
changes without restarting the application. It speeds up the development
process, enabling real-time testing and UI iteration

6 Strong Community & Ecosystem:


Flutter has a growing and active community. There are many open-source
packages and plugins available on pub.dev, Flutter’s package repository, which
adds functionality like Firebase, Google Maps, and more.

Why Choose
Flutter?
Taking Your Flutter Skills to the Next Level
3-1 Single Codebase for Multiple
Platforms
● Cross-Platform Development: With Flutter,
you can build apps for iOS, Android, web,
and desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) using
a single codebase.
● Benefit: This dramatically reduces the
development time, effort, and cost. Instead of
writing separate code for each platform,
developers write once and deploy across
multiple platforms.
3-2 Fast Development with Hot
Reload
● Hot Reload: Flutter’s standout feature, Hot
Reload, allows developers to instantly see
changes in the code reflected in the running
app without restarting the entire application
● Benefit: This dramatically speeds up the
development process, making it easier to
experiment with UI, debug, and iterate
quickly.
3-3 Strong Backing from Google

● Google Support: Flutter is backed by Google,


which ensures long-term support, regular updates,
and a robust roadmap for the future
● Google’s Ecosystem: Flutter integrates
seamlessly with Google’s ecosystem, including
Firebase, Google Cloud, and Google Ads,
making it an excellent choice for apps that require
cloud services, authentication, analytics, and
more.
● Benefit: Strong and reliable backing ensures the
technology will continue to grow, and developers
have access to Google's ecosystem of tools and
services.
04 Hybrid App
Development vs
Native App
Taking Your Development
Flutter Skills to the Next Level
4-1 Hybrid App Development

Hybrid apps are built using web


technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
and wrapped in a native container,
allowing them to be deployed on
multiple platforms (iOS, Android) from
a single codebase.
4-2 Hybrid App Development
Advantages
1 Cross-Platform Compatibility: A single codebase can run on multiple platforms, reducing
development time and cost. Due to shared code, development can be quicker than building
Faster Development:
2 separate native apps.

Easier Updates: Changes can be made to the web app without needing to submit new versions
3 to app stores

4 Access to Device Features: Hybrid apps can access device features (camera, GPS, etc.)
through plugins, though not as seamlessly as native apps.
4-3 Hybrid App Development
Disadvantages
1 Performance Limitations: Hybrid apps can suffer from performance issues compared to
native apps, especially for graphics-intensive applications (like games).

2 User Experience: They might not provide the same fluidity and responsiveness as native apps,
potentially leading to a subpar user experience.
3 Limited Access to Native APIs: While many plugins are available, there may be limitations
in accessing the latest native features immediately.
Dependency on Plugins: Performance and stability can be affected by the quality of third-
4 party plugins.
4-3 Native App Development

Native apps are developed


specifically for a single platform using
platform-specific languages and tools
(e.g., Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for
Android).
4-4 Native App Development
Advantages
1 Optimal Performance: Native apps generally offer superior performance and responsiveness
since they run directly on the device's operating system.

2 Full Access to Device Features: Native development allows complete access to all device
APIs and hardware features, enabling the use of advanced functionalities.

3 Robust Support for New Features: When new device features are released, native apps
can incorporate them faster than hybrid apps.
4-5 Native App Development
Disadvantages
1 Optimal Performance: Native apps generally offer superior performance and responsiveness
since they run directly on the device's operating system.

2 Full Access to Device Features: Native development allows complete access to all device
APIs and hardware features, enabling the use of advanced functionalities.

3 Enhanced User Experience: Native apps can provide a more seamless and intuitive user
experience, adhering to platform-specific design guidelines and standards.

4 Robust Support for New Features: When new device features are released, native apps
can incorporate them faster than hybrid apps.
