Widgets Layer in Flutter

A layer in Flutter that acts as a bridge between the rendering engine and the application code. It maps each render object in the rendering layer to a corresponding Dart class.

Build() Method

A function in a Flutter widget that determines how the widget's UI is built based on its current state. It converts the widget's internal data into the visual elements you see on the screen.

Material & Cupertino Libraries

A set of predefined widgets provided by Flutter that offer a consistent and visually appealing user interface for both Android and iOS platforms.

Reactive Programming

A programming paradigm that works with data flows over time. In Flutter, it helps create dynamic user interfaces that change based on the data's evolution.
