3. Why is Flutter cool? - Fast cross platform development - Perform native experience - Lots of built in widgets - Application performance using Dart (AOT and JIT) - Hot reload - Device compatibility. Its native widgets allow applications to remain compatible from iOS 8 and Android Jelly Bean, API 16
4. What you need to get started - IDE ❖ Android Studio ❖ Visual studio code ❖ IntelliJ ❖ Command line - Dart and Flutter plugins
5. Widgets - Basic building blocks of a Flutter app’s UI, hence everything is a widget - Immutable - All the fields are final unless you want to make changes.
6. Stateless and stateful widgets Stateless Widget - It is immutable meaning that all values are final and cannot be changed Stateful Widget - Require a mutable state - Maintain state that may change during the app’s lifecycle
