About this title

Synopsis

Learn the essentials of working with Flutter and Dart to build full stack applications that meet the needs of a cloud-driven world. Together, the Flutter open source UI software development kit and the Dart programming language for client development provide a unified solution to building applications capable of targeting multiple platforms. Recipes in this cookbook show you how this potent combination provides an efficient approach to application development.

Typically used in frontend development, Flutter helps you develop cross-platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, and the Google Fuchsia operating systems. The Dart SDK provides native access to third-party solutions, including APIs, databases, and authentication. When used in concert with Flutter, Dart allows you to compile source code ahead of time to native code.

This cookbook shows you how to:

Write effective Dart code by using variables and data structures
Build applications with Flutter by exploring widgets and data handling
Understand cloud provider solutions and learn how to integrate them with Flutter
Manage data through APIs using Google Cloud Serverless
Work with Firebase solutions such as Authentication and the Cloud Firestore database
Build web applications that also work with mobile and desktop platforms

About the Author

Rich loves building things in the cloud and tinkering with different technologies. Lately this involves either Kubernetes or Serverless. Based in the UK, he enjoys attending (Ya remember that!) technical conferences and speaking to other people about new technologies. When he's not working, he likes spending time with his family, playing the guitar and riding his mountain bike. To improve his development skills he has also started writing smaller utility applications to simplify the more repetitive tasks (e.g. image manipulation, text manipulation, studying for certifications). Rich is also the author of Hands-On Serverless Computing with Google Cloud.
