David Bolton has been programming Flutter apps for a couple of years but this is the first time he’s done Flutter development on Linux.
If you’ve heard of Flutter, you probably know it as a cross-platform toolkit for writing mobile I apps – and you’d be correct. But that crossplatform ability was extended last year to include developing for Linux desktop alongside use for singlepage web apps.
If Flutter is a toolkit, what language do you use to program it? It’s called Dart. It’s a modern programming language and you can also write programs purely in Dart. If you’re looking for a programming language that’s more advanced than C and includes objects and decent string handling, but is nowhere as complex as C++, Dart falls in the middle. This isn’t a tutorial on Dart but the code should be easy enough to understand. If you want to find out more, visit the official website at https://dart.dev. You’ll find an online editor that you can experiment with and run Dart programs.
It’s a way of building up the user interface of an application through the use of widgets. A widget is a component containing the logic, interaction and design of a UI element. It’s implemented as a class in Dart and you can find out more at https://flutter.dev.
apps are different from otherapp has all its widgets redrawn many times per second; as much as 60 frames per second or faster on fast hardware. This makes it suitable for games programming. Even the single-page web apps are rebuilt many times per second.
