LJC: Flutter for Java Developers: Mobile, Web & Desktop with 1 Codebase April 26th 1-pm

About this event The phone is the main computer for consumers today. Even enterprise users increasingly rely on mobile devices. Now native mobile applications often provide a better user experience than web applications. But developing two different applications for iOS and Android is usually too expensive. Cross-platform frameworks promise salvation and deliver iOS and Android apps with one codebase. Like Google’s Flutter, some even give us web & desktop frontends, too! And Google says Flutter is “the most popular cross-platform UI toolkit” with half a million apps. I think Google’s Flutter is the best cross-platform option for Java developers. But can it deliver? I put a native Flutter application into the iOS and Android app stores. My talk describes how Flutter works and how it’s different from other solutions. Based on my experiences, I discuss the advantages and problems of Flutter. And a sample application demonstrates a native look & feel across mobile, web & desktop with one codebase.
