The “Flutter application” template contains lots of code (which we’ll be exploring later) but for now let’s keep things simple and create an app that displays a “Hello World” message.

Flutter lets you build compiled, cross-platform mobile, desktop, and web applications from a single codebase. Get started with Flutter and its easy-to-use programming language, Dart.

Flutter is a tool that helps developers build applications that function equally well on multiple platforms, without the hassle of writing bespoke code for each operating system.

Google finally took the wraps off Flutter 1.0, its new approach to cross-platform mobile development nirvana: creating native iOS and Android apps with one codebase.

For example, one of the announcements from today’s keynote included Flutter 3, which is Google’s multiplatform user interface app development framework.

Today, Google is launching Flutter for Windows Alpha, allowing you to create cross-platform apps compatible with Windows 10 and more.

Despite the duopoly of the current app marketplace, businesses should not be maintaining two development teams. Flutter and cross-platform apps are the future.
