We are almost two decades out in the 21st century and now is when cell phones are the most dominant. While making waves in the tech searching department, we will collide with something related to smartphones and how they are now better than prior computational hardware. People are always looking for better product designs and they want a product to work like an appliance.

This is the reason why almost everyone starting from college grads to corporate gurus are building apps to work with. But the problem of multiple platforms has always caused a lot of havoc. Businesses need to develop apps separately for different platforms, especially when there are two big mobile OSes, iOS and Android, who don’t go hand in hand.

We at DSC have the mission to help the community with technology. Being one of India’s 172 DSCs, we took the stage today at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar to help students learn about Flutter, using which people can publish apps on both iOS and Android platforms from the same codebase. This adaptation will help communities ad major league players to adapt to the everchanging industry.

Flutter Workshop: In Depth

Like our previous workshops, we had a full-house event today as well. An array of student developers aspiring to build amazing apps for a bigger audience was witnessed. We started with understanding how Flutter is helping developers do their job easily. The mobile UI toolkit service by Google is currently also the mainstream medium for Fuchsia OS. We had a focus on kickstarting the event with Flutter 101 and then forwarding with hands-on experience. Attendees had a very interactive session in the beginning with a Q/A to start off with. Attendees will get a chance to create multiple apps on Flutter and then they will receive amazing certificates.

The session further went on to discuss the various concepts of the Dart language and Map data structures. After a short introduction to all the concepts, we went on to DartPad to get our hands dirty with the new OOP language. Android Studio is the engine that runs Flutter with added plugins for Dart language. It is pretty easy to make apps on Flutter and the overall design of the apps could be made really stunning. Overall, attendees got an overview of how to make an Android Studio app and run it on their own Android Devices with a USB cable. The whole process of making a new product on an awesome new platform was really intuitive and fun.

Head over to this YT playlist to get your hands dirtier with some awesome tutorials to become a Flutter Ninja.

The mobile space is evolving in ways unknown to mankind as of now. There was no essence of Google Assistant a couple of years ago and now it is competing with Android on the basis of user traction. So learn and adapt to survive. That’s the bottom line people. ☮️ out.
