Flutter Developer ROADMAP 2024

For a Flutter Beginner,

Taking the Flutter Roadmap can be overwhelming.

This is what I would do if I were to start learning Flutter in 2024.

Setup the environment

Install VSCode, AS and Xcode.
Install the latest Flutter SDK.
Configure your Flutter path.

Run the Counter app

Run the default Flutter project via VSCode.
Experiment with changing colors, text, and values.
Explore how setState works on changing the app state.

The Dart Side

For coders, code in Dart on the fly.
For total beginners, practice via
Dart Pad online.
Fully understand working with Futures and Streams.

Basic State Management

Understand the Widget Lifecycle.
Explore using Stateless and Stateful widgets.
Learn how to use FutureBuilder or StreamBuilder.
Proceed in using ValueNotifier.

Project Dependencies

Know how pubspec.yaml file works.
Understand how to use the import and export keywords.
Explore packages from pub.dev.

Learning by Doing

Build a CRUD application to test your Flutter knowledge.
Use only the basic local storage like shared_prefs or hive.
Put a feature to Create a record.
Create a ListView of records.
Route to a Detail Screen on clicking the list item, with options to Update, and Delete the record.

Basic and Beyond

Upload your work on Github as one your first Flutter projects
Share it to your Flutter connections and seek for feedback
Join the Flutter Communities on X, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Discord
Keep learning and keep making Flutter apps!
