Book Description:

Discover how to build, scale, and debug native iOS and Android applications using the Dart programming language from a single codebase.

Flutter is an open-source framework for building mobile, web, and desktop apps using the Dart language. With this recipe-based guide, which focuses on robust app design and core principles, you’ll learn how to solve cross-platform development issues practically.

The Flutter Cookbook covers error handling and debugging to ensure that your apps run more efficiently. You’ll start by setting up Flutter and customizing your development environment. The book will explain the main tasks involved in app development, such as user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, API design, and animations. Later chapters get you up to speed with routing, retrieving data from web services, and persisting data locally. A dedicated section also focuses on Firebase and its machine learning capabilities. The last chapter is designed to help you create apps for the web and desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Throughout the book, you’ll find recipes that cover the essential features needed to build a cross-platform application, along with insights into running a single codebase on different platforms.

By the end of this Flutter book, you’ll have learned everything you need to be able to write and deliver fully functional apps.
