A complete guide to Flutter architecture

MIXXERLY — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 11:42:27 +0000

Flutter is a UI toolkit from Google that allows users to build natively-compiled applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. It is also embedded from one single codebase, meaning that while Flutter embraces different platforms, it still originates from a single codebase.

And, because it’s a UI toolkit, it uses UI parts to give users the ability to create UIs without needing to create them in a particular way when structuring applications; Flutter builds UIs as code.

In this article, we’ll take a look at Flutter architecture and what it is comprised of. One of the benefits of learning the Flutter architecture is that it helps when structuring an application, like updating state, building widgets or screens, or making an app easy to maintain.

Knowing the Flutter architecture lets us get familiar with these core concepts that build up the architecture and aid in quick compilation and the code modification process.

MIXXERLY — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 11:03:38 +0000

Metaverse projects are blooming, and some companies are betting big on them being the Next Big Thing.

The term "metaverse" has spread through the internet and become a very hot topic. The idea of a huge, virtual online world is certainly exciting, and hundreds of companies have seen the apparent potential that the metaverse holds. But which big tech companies are making big investments into the metaverse, and why are they doing so?

1. Microsoft

As a long-standing player in the tech game, it's no surprise that Microsoft is taking further steps into the metaverse. In January 2022, the company announced that it would be acquiring Activision Blizzard, the enormous video game developer and publisher, as a segue into securing a major spot in the metaverse.

This acquisition will accelerate the growth in Microsoft’s gaming business across mobile, PC, console and cloud and will provide building blocks for the metaverse.

The $70 billion deal is Microsoft's biggest ever and will allow the company to develop Microsoft-backed games and software within the metaverse in the coming years.

2. Meta (Formerly Facebook)

In November 2021, Facebook announced that, quite fittingly, it was changing its name to Meta. This was done as an attempt to usher in the up-and-coming metaverse, and it did certainly get people talking.

Cringe-inducing introduction video aside, Meta has invested a total of $10 billion into acquiring and developing both hardware and software that will be used to provide VR capabilities within the metaverse. The company also plans to invest in AR (augmented reality), another emerging technology with a promising future.
