What is Flutter | why it is used | All-time-dev?

Today we are going to find out what is flutter and dart? and is this combination better than programming languages like Java and Kotlin we will also discuss its advantages and disadvantages and etc? So if you like our post then comment that what we should improve and also share our post among your friends, family, and teachers. Thank You!

What is Flutter?

Flutter is a software development kit (SDK) from Google which is a bit now and it was just launched in 2017. It is used for creating apps and it is used with dart a programming language like Java and Kotlin. There are more than 100,000 apps created using Flutter and Dart and shipped over hundreds of millions of devices and many developers are also saying that Flutter is killing angular but it is not true it is just a myth because Flutter can only be used to create native apps while angular can be used for creating all types of apps like a native, web apps and hybrid apps all of them and at last many people have a confusion that Flutter is a library or a framework so it is not true it is just an SDK.

Why is it's used?

As I have mentioned before, Flutter is used for creating apps but it can is majorly used for creating apps for both IOS and Android devices using its teammate Dart means you can use them for creating apps for both types of OS and that's just amazing. And it is very helpful for upcoming app developers because now for creating apps people mostly choose Java or Kotlin and those who use this language can only create apps for Android devices and those who are creating apps for IOS devices they choose objective C or Swift. But this combination is very easy to learn and fast and this combination will also help you to create software for different niches like for Ecommerce, API apps using TMBD API, and more.

Are Flutter and Dart better than Java and Kotlin

Yes, I will say that they are better than Java and Kotlin because as I have mentioned because they can be used for creating native apps for both Android and IOS devices while you can only create apps for android devices using Java and Kotlin but there are some disadvantages about Flutter like it is a new framework so there is not a very big community of this framework so if you may find some error then it is a bit difficult to find it's a solution but for finding problem's solution you can approach a Flutter developer, the apps created using this language are weighty, the apps created using this language are not supported for browsers and one problem more is that if you want to use flutter you have to learn Dart it's a teammate. 

Why is it getting so popular these days?

Flutter has a lot of advantages like - 

• It will cost you less to hire a flutter developer if you want a developer to create apps for both android and IOS developer instead of hiring a developer who can create apps for only android or IOS devices which will cost you more to hire different developers because both of them uses different languages to create their apps I have shown before.

• It is easy to learn flutter with Dart. Both of them are easy to learn.
• It is cross-platform supported means you can run this app on all devices without installing an emulator. It will run on all Windows, Android, and IOS devices.

And that's why there are high chances that it will replace Java, Kotlin, Swift, and other native app development languages.

Conclusion: 

As flutter is a bit new but it is getting very popular these days so you can find its courses and tutorials on YouTube and other courses websites so you can learn it and create amazing native apps but if you find some errors then I will recommend to first try to solve it and if you can't solve it then try to find the solution on Google or YouTube or you can find it's a solution by asking a developer on a Flutter Facebook group or by messaging the dev.
