Overview of this book

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.

Summary

In this chapter, you looked at the different types of widgets, such as stateless, stateful, and inherited, which are classes that inherit from the built-in widget type of classes. You examined the differences between the types, when to use each type, and how to make use of the features of each type.

Next, you explored the built-in widgets that are available as part of the Flutter framework, including layout widgets that help structure the UI.

One of the key aspects of the Flutter community is the plugins and packages that are created. As part of this, we explored streams to demonstrate one of the ways that updates can be shared with your app. We will explore plugins and packages, in further detail, in later chapters.

You should now have a better understanding of how Flutter apps are put together; however, as you can imagine, there's still a lot to explore. In the next chapter, we will take a further look at how users interact with Flutter apps.
