Simply the best guide from the developer's perspective. This article has covered just about anything related to flutter. Great to amplify the basic knowledge of flutter. Thanks for this resourceful article. We can also learn a great deal from lots of amazing flutter templates in the market. They help to implement and deploy new apps for startups and businesses quickly preventing development time and cost. A great resource to learn the UI layouts and custom functionalities as well.

Helpful article! Thanks! If you are interested in this, you can also look at my article about Flutter templates. I made it easier for you and compared the free and paid Flutter templates. I'm sure you'll find something useful there, too. - dev.to/pablonax/free-vs-paid-flutt...

I just started to learn Flutter and here is my problem:

I want to create an object that contains pairs of two strings, lets say a name and city. I also want to access each pair by an index. In Java it would be:
List aList = new List();
Map is not good, because as I know I cannot retrieve specific element lets say for index=n

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
zb

If I can understand what you mean, then you can use list of map like so :

  var maplist = [
    {"name": "James Gosling of Java", "city": "Toronto"},
    {"name": "Anders Hejlsberg of C#", "city": "New York"},
    {"name": "Guido von Rossum of Python", "city": "Amsterdam"},
    {"name": "Bjarne Stroustrup of C++", "city": "Kopenhagen"},
    {"name": "Niklas Wirth of Pascal", "city": "Vienna"},
    {"name": "Rasmus Lerdorf of PHP", "city": "Chicago"},
    {"name": "Brendan Eich of JS", "city": "Los Angeles"}
  ];

  for (var n = 0; n < maplist.length; n++) {
    print("${maplist[n]['name']} lives in ${maplist[n]['city']}");
  }

The output is like so :
James Gosling of Java lives in Toronto
Anders Hejlsberg of C# lives in New York
Guido von Rossum of Python lives in Amsterdam
Bjarne Stroustrup of C++ lives in Kopenhagen
Niklas Wirth of Pascal lives in Vienna
Rasmus Lerdorf of PHP lives in Chicago
Brendan Eich of JS lives in Los Angeles

Everyone seems to have forgotten what Flutter — yes, this Flutter — was originally.

Gesture recognition! (Circa 2012/2013)

Then it was acquired by Google and turned into a development platform. Does it even have gesture recognition anymore?

Fantastic article, Karan! The insights into Flutter development are incredibly valuable for both beginners and seasoned developers.

I've recently penned a beginner's guide to building Flutter apps myself. Would love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have! Keep up the great work!
