Book Description
There have been many attempts at creating frameworks that are truly cross-platform, but most struggle to create a native-like experience at high performance levels.
Flutter achieves this with an elegant design and a wealth of third-party plugins, making it the future of mobile app development. If you are a mobile developer who wants to create rich and expressive native apps with the latest Google Flutter framework, this book is for you.
This book will guide you through developing your first app from scratch all the way to production release. Starting with the setup of your development environment, you'll learn about your app's UI design and responding to user input via Flutter widgets, manage app navigation and screen transitions, and create widget animations.
You'll then explore the rich set of third party-plugins, including Firebase and Google Maps, and get to grips with testing and debugging. Finally, you'll get up to speed with releasing your app to mobile stores and the web.
By the end of this Flutter book, you'll have gained the confidence to create, edit, test, and release a full Flutter app on your own.

Review
"I have known and worked with Tom for more than 10 years. We met at an antenatal class as we both embarked on our journey into parenthood and have been close friends ever since.
Together we founded our education apps company, and from the very start we decided to go all-in on Flutter for all our apps. At the time Flutter was in beta, and I must admit I questioned Tom's decision to put all our eggs into such a new and untested basket.
Three years later and we have created a suite of high-quality education apps across Android, iOS, and, to some extent, the web, allowing us to keep development costs incredibly low relative to our competitors while creating apps that are very high quality. In Flutter for Beginners Second Edition, Tom shares his learning from those 3 years of development.
This book is written from the point of view of someone who has been there, all the way from justifying the use of the framework to the wider business team and learning the basics of the framework, through implementing the user experience defined by our designers, to testing and ultimately releasing to the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
Why not join Tom and build some epic Flutter apps using this awesome framework?" --Trevor Wills Managing Director, Life Ninja
