Web Development vs. Flutter: A Quick Comparison

I have experience in web development, but my most recent project is a flutter mobile app. I want to talk about the differences in developing for web and mobile(flutter)

Initial Learning:

Web Development: Easier to start with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Flutter: Steeper learning curve due to Dart, but worth the effort.

Developer Experience:
Flutter excels with features like hot reload and a comprehensive widget library, offering a smoother experience than traditional web development.

Cross-Platform Deployment:
Flutter's standout feature is its ability to deploy across iOS, Android, web, and desktop from a single codebase, unlike web development.

Library Ecosystem:
Flutter is newer with a growing library ecosystem, while web development has a more extensive range of resources.

Learning Curve and Styling:
Flutter simplifies learning with one framework (Dart) and makes UI styling easier and more intuitive compared to the complexities of CSS in web development.
In summary, Flutter, despite its initial learning curve, provides a better developer experience, easy styling, and impressive cross-platform deployment capabilities.

it's crucial to recognize that both web development and Flutter have their unique strengths, and neither can be deemed as the definitively "better" technology.
