What's Flutter?

Flutter is a free and open-source software development kit created by Google, that enables you to develop applications for both Android and iOS using a single codebase. Because it was released in 2017, it has now a wide online community of developers and contributors.

With Flutter, you can design beautiful and modern UIs, and develop fast and high-performance native apps for your company, startup, … helping designers, prototypers and developers. Dart is the object-oriented programming language that is used to code Flutter apps and to access platform APIs and services.

Besides this, Flutter has a comprehensive widget catalogue available to use in any app. Widgets are components that can be integrated with your apps, that enables you to bring smooth animations to them, gestures, scrolling, icons, styling and so forth...

Flutter integrates with most popular integrated development environments, like Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA or Xcode, and it was thought to be accessible for both new and experienced developers in mobile development.

For your reference, here are some Flutter videos that let you have a deep dive into this framework: https://www.youtube.com/flutterdev.

About the event

The event will take place on 7th of March 2020, at 09:30 am, in the Jesuits' College of Funchal, one of the most remarkable historic buildings of the island, with more than 400 years of existence.

The workshop will be tended in English. Despite this, there, you will be invited to ask questions (don’t be afraid of), to suggest, to try, to fail, to play… in Portuguese (if you can’t speak English) or in English, in writing or verbally.

In the following days, after the end of the workshop, we will send to your email your certificate of participation in the workshop, so you can share with your friends what have you just conquered!

For who is this lab for?

This workshop is intended for people who have already some experience with programming in mobile and new to Flutter development.

What do I need to bring with me?

Just bring a computer with the peripherals that you use on a normal day. Further information about the software that you need to have pre-installed on your computer, for the workshop, will be sent to your email a few days before it. Thus, in the day, we can jump right into the framework.

We will provide you with a free wireless connection and access to all the files used during the talk so that you can review and try it at home.

Are the contents of this workshop the same of the previous one?

Yes, it is. If you attended our last Flutter’s workshop, you should consider that the contents may get repeated.

Please, take that into consideration before buying your ticket. However, if you want to consolidate your knowledge, remember something that you forgot about Flutter, as well as having the opportunity to ask other things about it, you are more than welcome to join us!

Speaker

Miguel Pereira Ruivo is a mobile developer at Present Technologies. He graduated as Software Engineer and has soon become particularly interested in mobile development, with a keen interest in its architectures and technologies. Hence, he soon started working with Android & iOS native SDK, being currently entirely devoted to Flutter Google’s framework.

Nevertheless, due also to his proficiency in system-level languages, he has also acted as a C & C++ supporting teacher at the AeT intensive course, for embedded systems.
