I was trying to create some apps for my portfolio. However, I got a big problem when it comes with the UI. I always have been a Back-end developer and my experience with the Front-end, well Let’s say that I can create Front-end apps with React, with the HTML, JavaScript and CSS, Thymeleaf, and Swing. So, Investigating about new frameworks that can help me with the UI, suddenly a wild blue bird appeared! (and no it wasn’t tweeter). The blue bird is Dash, the Dart and Flutter’s mascot.

I read a little about FLutter, and sounds interesting except that I don’t know Dart (Flutter uses Dart). But, luckily if you have a background of Java, C++, or Swift, you will not have problems with Dart.

I started as per recommendation of docs.flutter.dev I started with the flutter-codelab-first. It was a little annoying to install it (I had some problems with Ruby, I didn’t updated XP), after I sort the installation, the codelab was smooth.

After I follow the codelab, I add the advanced features. Until the moment that I wrote this, I consider Flutter interesting.

If you want to see code of my first approach, you can check my github repository.

That’s all for now, I will continue with flutter and I will let you know my experience of it.

Happy Learning!!!
