Session
As a native Android Engineer with 7 years of experience, I had an idea to create an app on my own. I thought of creating an app for both platforms, but I knew I couldn't develop a good iOS app, natively, with restricted time and resources. I considered Kotlin Multiplatform. I did start writing that app in Android - natively, using Jetpack Compose but I've noticed some performance issues. I decided to switch immediately and Flutter was my first choice.
In this talk, I showcase how I went through the entire process of learning from 0 a new platform and toolkit, in order to create a mobile app, in less than a month, using Flutter. How easy is it to "migrate" your knowledge as a native developer into Flutter? How long does it take to "convert" features you know how to build in your platform, into a new one?
Follow my adventure of learning a new tool that allowed me to create a brand new app from 0 in less than a month, using Flutter.
