DartUP 2021: Two days, 3000 participants on the Dart side
What’s it like to work with ViewModels? Does Flutter have a future? What happens if you write your own open-source project for Dart?
These (and many more topics) were on the agenda for the DartUP event that took place on December 3–4, 2021. Great tech motive to end 2021!
For the fifth year in a row, the Dart community ran DartUP — an annual celebration of the mighty Dart Language and the beautiful Flutter SDK. With help from regular sponsors — Google, Wrike, SpatialChat, and Surf — the community has an opportunity to get together annually, network, talk about Dart and Flutter, and ask experts questions.
Last year, the event switched to online mode, and despite the drawbacks, there were some benefits. Two parallel tracks — in English and in Russian — were simultaneously streamed to Youtube. There were many more new speakers, different games with Dart puzzles, and interesting opportunities for networking.
For the second year in a row, members of the community had a chance to join SpatialChat — a new level of group ‘calls’ that looks very close to conversations in real life.
To make this even more fun, friends from Wrike created two online games with algorithmic tasks that attendees raced to solve.
The icing on the Dart cake were the talks and 18 speakers that made it all happen. We’ll share some of the highlights, but feel free to watch the full playlist in English and in Russian.
Will it bend? Flutter Foldable Support — Andrei Diaconu, Microsoft
Architectural thinking on Flutter State Management — Majid Hajian, GDE
ViewModel is anti-pattern — Kirill Bubochkin, Mews
To sum it up, those were two intense days filled with joy and enthusiasm from the community!
