HumpDayQandA Recap for October 3rd
This post is the first in a series of post detailing the events of #HumpDayQandA.
Many people from the Flutter Community joined us to talk and ask questions about Flutter. Last week, we turned #HumpDayQandA into a two-day event. Wednesday was reserved for asking questions and discussion while Thursday, Simon Lightfoot lived coded an app.
Topics Discussed
We were joined by two guests from the Flutter team. Filip Hráček and Matt Carroll both joined and discussed various aspects of Flutter. Some of the topics talked about are scoped model and it’s simplicity for beginners, RXVMS, BLOC, Firebase for Flutter including the current project by member of the community, Razvan Lung. Also discussed was Flutter’s new Android View widget and embedding Android views in Flutter.
