Are you filled with ideas for apps and websites, but keep getting stuck trying to figure out how to put it all together? Are you a developer who has heard of Flutter but are not sure what it can do and whether it’s for you? Or perhaps, you’re looking to start an app business and would like to know what’s involved? If so, this book is for you!

Flutter is Google’s development platform for mobile (iOS and Android), desktop (Mac, Linux, Windows), and the Web. Truly delivering on the “write once, run anywhere” dream that other technologies have promised for decades, Flutter powers everything from AliExpress’s ecommerce apps to Toyota’s in-car entertainment systems.

This book presents you with the most effective lessons you need to quickly become an app developer. The book has been written for people who love to “learn by doing” with each chapter teaching you relevant skills and guiding you through building real, working apps, with source code you can use later in your own projects.

In the later chapters of the book, you will learn how you can build your future as an app developer. Advanced topics include using artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up your app development, creating an app business by monetizing your apps, and strategies for managing larger code bases.

What You Will Learn:

• Write apps in Flutter using the Dart Programming Language
• Create beautiful user interfaces for mobile, desktop, and the Web
• Build real apps that connect to cloud services and use device hardware
• Use artificial intelligence to increase your productivity and make your apps more relevant for users
• Release and monetize your apps on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Web

Who This Book Is For:

Novice developers and students who have very light experience but would like to use Flutter as their gateway into programming and creating apps, and developers with experience in other programming languages who want to learn the specific skills they need to use Flutter to publish apps or integrate features such as artificial intelligence (AI) into their apps
