    Study Notes

    Introduction to Dart Programming Language and Flutter Framework

    • This presentation introduces Dart programming language and the Flutter framework
    • Dart is optimized for user interface development
    • A basic example of Dart code is provided, defining a function for printing an integer to the console
    • Dart is strongly typed, but type annotations are optional

    Dart Programming Language

    About Dart

    • Dart is a programming language optimized for user interface creation
    • A basic function example is included in the presentation
    • The main() function marks the entry point of the application

    Important Concepts in Dart

    • All variables in Dart represent objects
    • Dart is strongly typed, but type annotations are optional. Dart can infer types.
    • Statically typed languages define data types at compile time
    • Dynamically typed languages identify data types at runtime.

    Important Concepts in Dart (continued)

    • null safety prevents variables from containing null unless explicitly allowed; use question mark for nullable types
    • Dart supports generic types (e.g., List<int>, List<Object>)

    Important Concepts in Dart (continued)

    • Dart supports top-level functions (e.g., main()) and functions tied to classes or objects (static/instance methods)
    • Top-level variables are supported, similar to variables tied to classes or objects (static/instance variables)
    • Identifiers can begin with a letter or underscore (_), followed by characters and digits
    • Dart differentiates expressions (having runtime values) from statements (no runtime values)
    • Dart tools detect warnings and errors

    Using DartPad

    Flutter Framework

    • Flutter is a mobile platform development framework

    Installation & Test Drive

    Mobile Platform Development Framework

    • This section discusses mobile platform development frameworks

    Review: Django Architecture

    • Django is a web framework
    • The diagram shows the request-response cycle within a Django application
    • The process starts with a web request to a web page
    • Django extracts data from the request, processing it through views
    • Python code within views transforms data and utilizes models to query/update information in a database (DB)
    • Processed data is prepared as a response and sent to the client via the web page

    In General, we can do...

    • Data manipulation and preparation for mobile UI (user interface) using the Django framework and its API
    • The diagram shows the data flow from a database to a Flutter interface, through the Django API

    Django and Flutter Architecture

    • The diagram illustrates the interaction between the Django web application and a Flutter application
    • Django acts as a data provider, generating API responses for Flutter
    • This interaction facilitates dynamic data visualization and presentation
    • The diagram highlights the role of the Django API and serializers (used for data transformation) to generate responses for the Flutter frontend

    Mobile Platform Structure and Development Life Cycle

    • This section details the structure for developing mobile application platforms and their lifecycle stages (from identification to maintenance)
    • Refer to https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276129115 for a research document titled 'Suitability of Existing Software Development Life Cycle'

    Mobile App Development Life Cycle (MADLC)

    • A diagram outlining the mobile app development lifecycle stages (identification, design, development, prototyping, testing, and maintenance) is presented
    • Development follows a similar style to website development.

    Development Environment

    • This section presents various development environments for mobile apps
    • Android's integrated development environment (IDE): Android Studio
    • Android Studio uses programming languages, including Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, and C++
    • Apple's integrated development environment (IDE): Xcode
    • Xcode supports Swift and C programming languages for mobile applications

    Native Android Architecture

    • This section describes the architecture of native Android development
    • Android's components used for developing applications and their interaction are shown

    Native iOS Architecture

    • This section describes the architecture of native iOS development
    • Diagram illustratings the components used by the iOS operating system and interactions
    • The presentation includes iOS's components and their interactions

    About Flutter

    • Flutter is a user interface (UI) toolkit developed by Google
    • Flutter allows the creation of native mobile, web, desktop, and embedded applications
    • Flutter supports a single codebase for a diverse range of platforms

    Flutter on Android & iOS

    • Flutter's cross-platform architecture allows handling of Android and iOS applications
    • The presentation provides schematics for Flutter's workings and interaction with source code

    Why Flutter?

    • Flutter's key design aspect is to produce appealing (beautiful) apps

    Problems Flutter Wants to Solve

    • Flutter addresses problems in existing cross-platform (mobile) development solutions
    • Flutter's advantages include higher performance, full control of the user interface, a powerful language (Dart), and comprehensive developer backing (Google)

    Project Structure

    • The presentation shows an example of project structures for Flutter applications (using flutter create)

    Widgets (Stateless & Stateful)

    • Widgets are reusable components for composing the user interface (UI) in Flutter

    MVC vs MVP vs MVVM Architecture

    • A comparison of these software design patterns

    What is Widget?

    • Widget is a reusable component in Flutter
    • Widgets are fundamental to composing the UI
    • The visual parts of an application, and their behaviour, are composed by widgets

    Everything is Widget!

    • All UI elements in Flutter are widgets (building blocks)

    Widget Tree

    • The widget tree is the logical representation of all the UI components (widgets) in a Flutter application

    What is Widget? (Code Example)

    • A code example demonstrates how to build a simple Flutter application using widgets

    Understanding "State"

    • Application-level state management and widget-specific state

    Stateless Widget

    • Stateless widgets don't have an internal state; their appearance is determined solely by their properties
    • They are determined in the build phase
    • Changes depend on data flowing from outside

    Stateless Widget (continued)

    • Child widgets receive descriptions from parent widgets.
    • Child widgets are unaffected by changes to the parent widget configuration
    • The appearance of stateless widgets is constant (immutable) and not affected by changes to local variables or external data feeds

    In Code (Stateless Widget example)

    • A code example demonstrates the implementation of a stateless widget

    Stateful Widget

    • Stateful widgets can change their appearance dynamically because they have an internal state that can be modified

    Stateful Widget (continued)

    • Stateful widgets are immutable, but can modify their state to update their appearance if input data is modified

    In Code (Stateful Widget example)

    • A code example demonstrating a stateful widget

    Flutter Hot Reload

    • Enables the developer to modify the source code and see the updated UI changes immediately in the application without needing a recompilation step

    Most Famous Feature

    • Just-in-time (JIT) compilation is a key characteristic of Flutter

    What is the difference between hot reload, hot restart, and full restart?

    • Hot reload offers a quick way to see changes without restarting the application
    • Hot restart requires a complete application restart, while full restart requires a full compilation and application rebuild step (e.g., recompilation of languages and code)

    References

    • Links to various resources for more Flutter and other related topics (e.g., tutorials, documentation, and developer communities) are provided
