Atlanta Android Club Monthly Meetup

Join Atlanta Android Club for Flutter February!

You may have heard about Flutter. Is it a UI framework? A competitor to React Native? The basis for creating UIs in Fuschia? We may not have all of the answers yet, but we do know that more and more people are adopting it.

GDG Columbus' Michael Yotive will help us learn more with his talk "Flutter for Android Developers", and then we'll discuss where we see mobile development trending in 2019 and beyond. Michael's talk in his own words:

Mobile users expect their applications to have beautiful designs, smooth animations, and exceptional performance. Accomplishing all three tasks at the same time using conventional Android development tools has traditionally been difficult.

But not with Flutter, Google's unique mobile UI Framework which helps developers quickly and efficiently build native apps for both IOS and Android.

In this talk, we will examine Flutter from an Android developer's perspective. I will showcase the differences in architecture when building applications in Flutter verses traditional Android. I'll showcase Flutter's UI Widgets and how they differ from Android Views. Lastly, we will talk about when and why you would choose Flutter over the Android SDK.

See you there!
