Happy New Year! I am happy to enter this new year in good health and good spirits. One thing that has been on my mind lately has been doing more with mobile devices. Specifically app development; after a bit of research over the holidays I found that Google created an awesome toolkit called Flutter. Flutter is an SDK as well as a UI toolkit that is built into the Android Studio. You write code in the DART programming language. The SDK then transcompiles the DART code into machine code that runs on Android and iOS devices. On a Mac laptop, you are able to quickly and easily create apps with one code base that run on iOS and Android Simulators straight from Android Studio.

You’re welcome to also use Flutter on Windows however you won’t have access to the iOS emulator.

To get started you can take a look at the Flutter Getting started page: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install

An example of what I created from their short tutorial can be seen below:
