The speed with which the world of technology is evolving is simply unimaginable. Every single day, technologies continue to evolve and become obsolete. If you are someone who follows or is pretty well- acquainted with the world of mobile app development, it will be very hard for you to not have come across the term Flutter. Chances are, if you are reading this, you are well aware of what Flutter is as well as its potential.
For those rare people too, who are yet to know about it, we have it covered for you.
FLUTTER- A BASIC INTRODUCTION
In
the simplest of terms, Flutter is an open-source Software Development
Kit (SDK), through which the developers can create native-like iOS and
Android applications, right from the same coding platform.
First
introduced by Google in the year 2015, Flutter has been gradually
gaining more and more momentum over the years. In fact, Github has
recognized Flutter as one of the top SDK, thanks to the number of
features and ease in app development that it offers.
Perhaps, the
most striking feature of Flutter is its ability to make use of
different widgets that are combined together to form an absolutely
brilliant UI. Long story short, app development with Flutter is a
complete delight for both the developers as well as the end-users.
Here’s a brief look at some of the advantages of using Flutter for your mobile app development projects-
Saves A Lot of Time And Money
With Flutter, cross-platform development is a breeze, that results in saving a lot of time and money in the process.
Hot Reload Brings in Efficient Development
Any
change in the code gets instantly reflected through the hot reload
feature, making the entire development process quick and very efficient.
Impeccable Performance
With its own set of widgets and a cutting-edge Dart setup, Flutter storms past its contemporary SDK’s effortlessly.
It is open-sourced
The
fact that developer communities contribute and update the documentation
for building resources is another big benefit of Flutter.
These
are some of the main reasons as to why the number of users for
Flutter-based apps is around 200 million marks. This number is bound to
grow more extensively in the coming time, which is why Google takes
notice and constantly updates the Flutter Linux Alpha to keep developers
engrossed and keep building more amazing apps.
FLUTTER LINUX ALPHA
Because
Flutter has been met with such a warm reception since the very first
day, the aim of Google is to load it up with more system friendly perks
that bring about a desktop-like experience, which also encompasses the
resetting of the mechanism in order to bring it closer to a keyboard and
mouse supported experience than ever.
Customizable options for the complex windows along with better and more enhanced UI functionality for desktops follow later on.
With
Flutter Linux Alpha, Flutter makes itself much more capable than ever
to tackle feature-rich desktop applications as well, other than already
leading the mobile UI scenario. This is the big reason why Google and
Canonical have come together and released the Linux Alpha for Flutter as
well.
WHAT EXACTLY DOES CANONICAL BRING TO THE TABLE?
While
Canonical is a highly reputed company for Ubuntu-based publishings and
distributing them, it saw a great opportunity to also delve into Linux
distributions apart from Ubuntu, with the latter also being a highly
feasible platform for Flutter developers.
Because Flutter
witnessed massive growth and popularity in a short span of time,
Canonical wanted to be available as well, when it already made the life
of the entire developer community easier by enabling app publishing on
Linux, through its application store. This was made possible by the
much-needed Linux desktop support for Flutter.
With Linux now a
perfect solution for Flutter, a number of more out of the box solutions
are possible for the creation of cutting-edge apps for users who are
more into Linux.
THE ‘FLUTTERING EXCITEMENT OF CANONICAL
Canonical
has already assigned a team of developers to work in close association
with the Google developers to uncover Flutter’s exciting potential for
its Linux distributions.
Here are some reasons why Flutter is a pretty exciting prospect for Canonical-
It’s a very cutting-edge UI that supports multiple widget settings and is very dynamic.
- Cross-platform support (the importance cannot be highlighted enough).
- Flutter has a dedicated developer community that’s consistently growing.
- Flutter
is a pretty prestigious platform if truth be told, because of its
ability to work with Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, and IntelliJ
among some more sophisticated software.
INSTALLING FLUTTER ON LINUX
A
Flutter SDK for Linux has been expressly made available for all the
Linux users in the Snap store. The Kit contains everything that is
required for developers for great Flutter application development for Linux.
To
take complete advantage of it all, users can simply install the Flutter
SDK snap with their choice of IDE. For example, if a developer wishes
to create a Flutter app in Linux and has selected the Visual Studio Code
as the IDE, then it’s almost done!
To sum it up, Canonical and
Google together, and the release of Flutter Linux Alpha has now
empowered the developers to get the most out of Flutter by getting
Flutter support. Canonical has made it easier than ever to create a
quality Linux app with Flutter.
For any company or business, a
top-class cross-platform app is the best when made with Flutter. If you
are one of such entities, Consagous Technologies can help you build a
feature-rich and technology-driven development process. Our Flutter app development service is thoroughly professional and gives you the perfect return for your investment.
