Overview of this book

Google Flutter is a cross-platform mobile framework that makes it easy to write high-performance apps for Android and iOS. This book will help you get to grips with the basics of the Flutter framework and the Dart programming language. Starting from setting up your development environment, you’ll learn to design the UI and add user input functions. You'll explore the navigator widget to manage app routes and learn to add transitions between screens. The book will even guide you through developing your own plugin and later, you’ll discover how to structure good plugin code. Using the Google Places API, you'll also understand how to display a map in the app and add markers and interactions to it. You’ll then learn to improve the user experience with features such as map integrations, platform-specific code with native languages, and personalized animation options for designing intuitive UIs. The book follows a practical approach and gives you access to all relevant code files hosted at github.com/PacktPublishing/Flutter-for-Beginners. This will help you access a variety of examples and prepare your own bug-free apps, ready to deploy on the App Store and Google Play Store. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with Dart programming and have the skills to develop your own mobile apps or build a career as a Dart and Flutter app developer.

Getting started with Dart

The Dart language, developed by Google, is a programming language that can be used to develop web, desktop, server-side, and mobile applications. Dart is the programming language used to code Flutter apps, enabling it to provide the best experience to the developer for the creation of high-level mobile applications. So, let's explore what Dart provides and how it works so we can later apply what we learn in Flutter.

Dart aims to aggregate the benefits of most of the high-level languages with mature language features, including the following:

  • Productive tooling: This includes tools to analyze code, integrated development environment (IDE) plugins, and big package ecosystems.
  • Garbage collection: This manages or deals with memory deallocation (mainly memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use).
  • Type annotations (optional...
