Introduction : App development and Components

Mobile applications are no longer just the apps for the Smartphones! With the evolution of Internet of Technology (IoT), the same applications can now run on smart watch, smart TV, wrist bands and many other such platforms. Because of this recent revolution, mobile applications have become the cornerstone of the whole cognitive ecosystem. But as it is said that every coin has two sides, on one end where the reach of the mobile applications and its access is increasing, there is also an arising need that the applications cater smooth navigation amongst all the platforms and devices and have seamless front-end User Interface for satisfactory User Experience.

What Is Flutter?

Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter App Development

Features:

MaterialApp has a home property to specify the user interface of the home page, which is again a user created widget, MyHomePage . MyHomePage is build using another flutter native widget, Scaffold Scaffold has two properties – body an
