Flutter

Flutter is a free and open-source mobile UI framework created by Google.This cross-platform development framework enables us to use the same codebase for different platforms like Android, iOS, Web, Desktop, etc. Flutter requires fewer efforts, lesser time, and smaller investments for app development.Flutter solves the most challenging part of the other cross-platform frameworks, i.e., getting rid of the BRIDGE. Flutter does not use the OEM widgets, it provides its own widgets. 

This competency area includes understanding the structure of a flutter project, dart programming, widgets, layout , gestures ,state management and navigation and routing.

Key Competencies:

1. Structure - Understanding the structure and components of a flutter project.
