What is Flutter?

The Framework Revolutionizing App Development

Flutter is a framework created by Google for building cross-platform applications.

In other words, you write your app once, and it runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and the web.

What language does it use?

💻 Flutter uses Dart, a programming language optimized for fast and smooth interfaces.

Benefits of Dart:

• Easy-to-learn syntax (similar to JavaScript and Java).
• Fast compilation = high-performance apps.
• Null safety support (fewer errors).

Why is it so popular?

Advantages of Flutter:

🚀 Hot Reload → Make changes to the code and see the results instantly.

🎨 Customizable widgets → Beautiful and adaptable UI.

⚡ Native performance → Does not rely on WebView like other frameworks.

🌍 Strong community and Google support.

Real-world examples

📲 Google Pay

📲 BMW App

📲 Nubank

📲 eBay Motors

🌟 Even companies like Alibaba and Tencent use Flutter for their apps.

When should you use Flutter?

✔ If you want a multi-platform app with a single codebase.

✔ If you need a fast and attractive UI.

✔ If you’re looking for a solid and growing framework.

❌ Not ideal if you rely heavily on platform-specific features.
