What is Flutter?

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article I will give you an introduction about Flutter.

Flutter is an open-source mobile SDK developer can use to build native-looking Android and iOS applications from the same code base. Flutter has been around since 2015 when Google introduced it and remained in the beta stage before its official launch in December 2018. Since then, the buzz around Flutter has been growing stronger.

Flutter is now the top 11 software repos based on GitHub stars. Moreover, we’ve already seen thousands of Flutter apps being published on app stores. One of the most notable examples is the Xianyu app created by Alibaba team, used by over 50 million people.


Benefits of Flutter


Flutter is a cross-platform development tool. That means software developers can use the same code base for building an iOS and Android app. Cross-platform development is the best method for saving time and resources throughout the development process.


Flutter offers outstanding performance for two reasons. First, is uses Dart, which compiles into native code. Second, Flutter has its own widgets, so there’s no need to access OEM ones. As a result, there’s less communication between the app and the platform. These two features of Flutter ensure fast app startup times and fewer performance issues in general.


Flutter is gaining a lot of traction among mobile developers because of hot reload. Hot reload allows to instantly view the changes applied to the code on emulators, simulators, and hardware. The changed code is reloaded in less than a second. All the while, the app is running and developers don’t need to waste time on restarting it.


That makes building UIs, adding new features, and fixing bugs easier. If an app encounters an error, it’s usually possible to fix it and then continue using the app as if it never happened. Even if you’re forced to do a full app reload, you can be sure that it’s completed in no time, accelerating the development process.


Flutter is an open-source technology surrounded by an active community of developers who provide support, contribute to the tool’s extensive documentation, and develop helpful resources. Both Dart and Flutter are free to use.


Another advantage of Flutter is the fact that it comes with its own widgets that result in fewer compatibility issues. Developers will see fewer problems on different OS versions and can spend less time on testing the app on older OS versions. Also, you can be confident that your app will work on future OS versions.


So I hope you understand my explanation about Flutter. Thank you!

Useful React Libraries

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article I will give you an introduction about most important react libraries. React Material UI First one is React Material UI. What it gives is a set of components that's styled after google's material design. The upside to using this library is that it greatly speeds up the development. You get a solid base that's been around since 2014. And you get consistent load that people know and trust. You can install it using npm install @material-ui/core And also you need to include link tags to use the font or font icons. If you want to use SVG icons, you would also use npm install @material-ui/icons Using these components is a very straightforward, you import the component that you need into your code and use it in your jsx definition, and can change it's properties suit your needs. So this library is very easy to use. You can speed up your development. And it's great for things like building and mvp really quickly. https://material-ui.com

What is Docker?

Hi, I’m Kishen Deemud. In this article I will give you an introduction about Docker. Docker is a platform for building, running and shipping applications in a consistent manner. So if your application works on your development machine, it can run and function the same way on other machines. If you have been developing software for a while you've probably come across this situation where your application works on your development machine but doesn't somewhere else. Can you think of the reasons why this happens.  This can happen if one or more files are not included as part of your deployment, so your application is not completely deployed. It's missing something. This can also happen if the target machine is running a different version of some software that your application needs. Let's say your application needs node version 14, but the target machine is running node version 9. This can also happen if the configuration settings, like environment variables are different

Everything about Bugzilla
