No blur on Flutter!

Flash interview with the editorial team.

What is flutter?

A framework

What exactly does it do?

Design cross-platform applications for Android and iOS

Who’s behind it?

Google of course!

Where do they stand? Is the solution stable?

Release Preview 2 – final version on track

Programming language?

Open source
Dart language

Is it easy to use?

There are code labs to help you learn quickly, including one for Java devs.

Universal?

IOS and Android compatible

The icing on the cake

Widgets are in the app, not in the platform. They are therefore embedded in each app, e.g. minimum 6.7 mb for a responsive apk.

Good to know

test apk on the playstore: “Flutter gallery”.

Digiwin’s opinion

Let’s wait and see if a release comes out, to make sure the project isn’t abandoned along the way. Otherwise, it seems very affordable compared with java, and offers a real advantage over the Android and IOS mutli OS.
