Flutter is a software development\nkit launched by Google. Today, Flutter development is not a widely-used\ntoolkit; still the cases are impressive. For example, Google AdWords and Ali\nExpress apps are built with its help. Numerous tools and widgets of Flutter\nallow professionals to create easy-to-use and great-looking applications that\nwork for both systems \u2013 iOS and Android. The fact that Flutter apps are\ncross-platform is particularly topical for developers \u2013 a single base allows\nthem to build one product for all mobile devices. This is a time-saving\nopportunity nobody wants to miss. Besides, this kit is open-source and free to\nuse. In this article, we will discuss some core benefits of Flutter to let you\ndecide whether you need it for your coding or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One code for 2 platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking about benefits if\nFlutter, one should start with the fact that it is a cross-platform framework.\nThis means that developers don\u2019t have to create two separate applications for\nAndroid and iOS. You build it once and then use the same codebase for both\nproducts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ever heard of Fuchsia,\na new Google\u2019s OS<\/a> under development, then be ready that Flutter will\ngive you a chance to develop for this platform as well. Fuchsia may become a\nnew Android, so you should consider this perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open-source project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of open-source\nprojects is that they allow everyone to take a look at the initial code. What\nis more, developers can work with this code and do everything they want on its\nbasis. One can download and use it for any number of devices. The products created\nwith the help of an open-source project can be distributed under free licenses\nand you don\u2019t need additional same day paper<\/a> documents or agreements. Flutter\nis precisely this kind of project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a developer, you can use\nFlutter\u2019s code to create your own applications or make contributions that would\nimprove Flutter itself. This is a free and pretty advanced programming\npractice. Your resume can be filled up with such projects and, believe us, this\nis much better than graduating some online courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing widgets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No application can look and feel well without widgets. To make an app work properly, widgets must be fast, customizable, and convenient. Not only widgets are used for the view, but an entire application. Widgets make apps more user-friendly and make them work appropriately despite the screen size. Users might want to use the same site on a mobile device. So when they enter “custom sign in” the login page must look and feel the way it looks and feels on the larger screen. In the opposite case, no user will actually stay at your website for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flutter framework is\nwidget-oriented. It provides a lot of amazing widgets<\/a> with extensive functionality.\nUsing the basic set of widgets, you can change them to create customized ones.\nMost software kits divide view properties into categories, offering separate\ncontrollers and layouts. Flutter has a single widget model that can define: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
