Flutter Development: Introducing Flutter & the Dart Programming Language
In recent years application development has become more complex and time-consuming as users expect the same application and functionality to be available across different platforms. The result has been increased adoption of technologies such as Flutter that support cross-platform development allowing organizations to use a single code-base to develop applications across multiple environments. In this course, you will learn how Flutter helps develop cross-platform applications. You will explore Flutter's layered architecture and understand how the Flutter framework, Flutter engine, and platform-specific embedder enable cross-platform development in a performant and efficient way. Finally, you will install and set up the Dart SDK on your local machine and use the IntelliJ IDEA to write Dart code.

Layouts in Flutter: Implementing Basic Flutter Layouts
The Flutter cross-platform framework offers a wide range of layout options to develop your application's pages. Flutter layouts enable you to create beautiful, responsive design for the right look and feel in your mobile applications. In this course, you will learn how Flutter widgets work, how they use composition to build complex user interface component hierarchies, and how the Flutter framework uses the element tree and render tree to render widgets to screen in an efficient way. Next, you will use Material Design components to create simple application pages. You will learn how to work with the Container, Text, Padding, and Image widgets to build elegant app pages. Finally, you will learn how to work with the Scaffold widget to create app pages that follow Material Design best practices.

Layouts in Flutter: Exploring Stateful Widgets
Widgets in Flutter can be stateless or stateful. Stateless widgets have properties that do not change, while stateful widgets contain mutable states that can be updated. In this course, you will create Flutter widgets that hold state information in a different object. You will see how you can handle user actions that update state and how Flutter automatically redraws widgets when their state changes. Next, you will build and use a number of different stateful widgets such as counters, checkboxes, and widgets that update state based on a timer. You will share state across multiple widgets by storing state in a parent component, and you will use callbacks to allow child components to change the parent's state. Finally, you will learn to design layouts using the Column and Row widgets in Flutter.

Flutter Development: Using Variables, Collections, & Functions in Dart
Developing Flutter applications requires programmers to be familiar with the Dart programming language. Dart is an object-oriented programming language that supports mixin-based inheritance and functional constructs. In this course, you will learn how variables in Dart are initialized and used. Next, you will work with basic collection constructs such as the list, set, and map and explore some new operators such as the spread operator. You will also see how Dart implements sound null safety using specific types and null assertion and null aware operators. Finally, you will learn that functions in Dart are first-class citizens, which means that functions can be stored in variables, passed in as input arguments to other functions, and returned as values from functions.

Flutter Development: Using Classes & Objects in Dart
Dart is an object-oriented programming language that supports mixin-based inheritance and functional constructs. Mixin-based inheritance allows you to reuse code from a class without having to inherit from that class and is very useful for modeling inclusive functionality for classes. In this course, we will focus on object-oriented programming constructs in Dart. We'll explore generative and factory constructs, and also see how const constructors can be used to create objects that are compile-time constants. Next, you will learn to use getters and setters in Dart and see how you can implement operator overloading, a feature borrowed from C++. You will discover class inheritance and interface implementation and see how to apply the mixin-based inheritance model to reuse code from classes. You will learn how to install and use third-party libraries from the pub.dev repository and include these as dependencies in your code using the pubspec.yaml file. Finally, you will use futures and the async and await keywords to write asynchronous code in Dart.

Flutter Development: Getting Set Up with Flutter for Application Development
The Dart programming language is primarily used to develop cross-platform Flutter applications. Flutter allows you to use the same code to build apps not only for Android and iOS mobile platforms but also for web and desktop applications. In this course, you will set up with the correct environment to develop Flutter applications on Windows and MacOS devices. You will set up Android Studio and the Flutter SDK and configure the plugins needed for Flutter development on this integrated development environment (IDE) Next, you will create a simple Flutter application and run this sample app using the command line and Android Studio on the Chrome web browser. You will then configure an Android Virtual Device on Android Studio and run this application on the Android emulator. For MacOS users you will configure the iOS simulator and run the application on this simulator. Finally, you will test-drive your Flutter installation by creating a very simple web application using Flutter HTML elements and wiring up event handlers.

Layouts in Flutter: Implementing Stacks, Lists, & Grids in Flutter
The stack, list, and grid layouts are very popular in mobile applications because they make great use of screen real estate and allow you to represent information in a manner that is easy for users to understand and parse. In this course, you will learn to use the Stack widget to layer widgets one on top of another. You will use relative and positioned widgets as a part of the stack and see that positioned widgets give you very fine-grained control over where a widget is placed. Next, you will represent elements using the ListView. You will configure the properties of the ListView to match your use case and use the ListTile and the Card widgets to build list elements. You will also build list views with an infinite number of elements. Finally, you will represent your app elements using the GridView.

Layouts in Flutter: Building an Application Using Layouts & Navigation
Mobile applications often have several pages. These pages need to be connected correctly using navigation and routing. In this course, you will explore how Flutter uses a stack data structure to enable navigation. You will use the Navigator class to navigate between pages and use named routes to improve the readability and robustness of navigation code. Next, you will bring together everything you have learned in this path to build a simple application for an e-commerce company using Material Design for Android devices and Cupertino widgets for iOS devices. Finally, you will learn to connect a device to Flutter and test your app on a mobile phone.
