Multi-platform Development with Co-creator of Flutter, Eric Seidel

Semaphore Uncut

In this Semaphore Uncut episode, I meet Eric Seidel, co-creator of Flutter and Director of Engineering for the Flutter team at Google. We chat about the Flutter developer experience, the Dart language that powers it, and the transition Flutter is making from mobile to desktop.

Key takeaways:

• Flutter allows one codebase for mobile, web and desktop
• Dart is designed for developer experience
• AOT or JIT compile for performance or .js transpile for iterating
• An active Dart community fuels growth
• Flutter integration can start with a single button
• Flutter architecture supports many test styles
• For mobile developers, Flutter is a must-try
