If you are following me you are well aware I am curious about different technologies and want to get my hands dirty on multiple frameworks to get a better idea what their pros and cons, use cases, etc.
I am a full-stack blockchain developer and haven't study about any android or don’t have experience in mobile app development. I am listening to flutter as a good framework for mobile application development .
So in this article, we will go through how we can install flutter in our system and run an app on windows without any hustle. You should only follow these three steps. Later on, I will discuss how’s my experience with mobile apps as a Web developer.
