Flutter – The Future of Mobile App Developer

Flutter is a very popular Googles SDK used popularly for Mobile App Development. The Mobile App Developers feels easy to use Flutter because of its features like cross-platform Application, customized plenty of Easy-to-use Widgets and is a single codebase for any platform.

Introduction: Flutter is a Cross-Platform App Development Framework enables the programmer to build an application that can run on Android as well as iOS.

It uses a common codebase to design an application as it has an engine designed in the most popular language, C++, commonly used by everyone and easy to understand.

Flutter is a Google product and the alpha version of Flutter was released at Google I/O/2017 and since then it has been improved drastically by all of its leaps and bounds. Google developed to assist ambient computing and becomes so popular because of its powerful and easy-to-use features. It is used by many Companies like Grab, Groupon, eBay, Philips and many more.  Apart from these companies, there are many startups who are launching their business app built with Flutter.

It is very popular and liked by Mobile App Developers because:

·        Flutter is much more than a simple wrapper around an HTML app that performs its own UI drawing so that you can get a consistent look across platforms.

·        All the programming in Flutter is done in DART, which is also a Google product. It is also considered to be part and parcel of Google Fuschia.

·       Flutter uses Google’s graphics library from Skia and thus provides a huge array of predefined attributes, like animation.

·    Flutter is paving a solid road for Fuschia. Flutter is an Open Source, cross-platform app building software that it is, is preparing the market for an operating system is that will make the software even more efficient.

·       Fuchsia will give Flutter as an enhancement that will attract the programmer’s community towards it. In the future, it will come up as a special duo with all-powerful attributes with its revolutionary performance

Components of Flutter:

It consists of four key components. These are:

1.      Dart Platform

2.      Flutter Engine

3.      Foundation Library

4.      Design-Specific Widget

  


 1.      Dart Platform: Flutter applications are written in the Dart Language and further make use of a number of the language's complicated features.

2.      Flutter Engine: This is written in C++provides low-level support. It makes use of Google Skia graphic Library.

3.      Foundation Library: The foundation library, written in Dart, provides the basic functions that are used in the development of applications.

4.      Design-Specific widgets: The Flutter framework comprises two widgets.

a)      Material design widgets that make use of Google’s design language

b)     Cupertino widget which emulates the design of OS.

Services Offered by Flutter:

Various services offered by Flutter is:

  1.  User Interface
  2.  Data and Backend
  3. Accessibility and Internalization
  4. Platform Integration
  5. Packages and Plugins
  6. Tools and Techniques

 


Built-in Modes of Flutter:

·        Debug Mode: Helps in Debugging various issues of applications in all physical devices, emulators, simulators, etc.

·        Profile Mode: This feature is only present in all physical devices not in emulators and simulators. It contains only a few of the debugging actions of the applications.

·        Release Mode: This mode should be deployed only when the application is ready for release. It allows maximum optimization and the debugging features are available on Physical devices. The debugging features are not available for emulators and simulators.

Features of Flutter:

·        A Single Codebase for any Platform

·        Very Suitable for Cross-Platform Application Development

·        Wide Range of Open-Source Package

·        Best of Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

·        Customizable Widgets

·        Easy to debug and test

·        Fast app Development with lesser development Cost

·        Supported by Multiple IDES

·        Firebase Integration

Conclusion

The Flutter will go long and will be loved and used by Mobile App Developer for long. The developers can easily develop faster apps with reduced costs.  Flutter Apps have larger community support and supported by multiple platforms. Developers feel easy to use it for Advanced User Interface, use Skia framework to render the interface. IDE and Community support provided to Flutter has given an excellent experience to the developers. Flutter provides Open-Source Packages and marked things easier for developers. It is very easy to integrate the existing apps in Flutter. Mobile App Developers should definitely learn to use it and have a wonderful experience.

Machine Learning and Role of Model in Machine Learning

Machine Learning concept is used in developing different modeling technique that involves Data means information such as documents, images, etc. The modeling technique analyzes the data and finds the suitable model by itself rather than having human interference in it. Data used by the Machine Learning modeling process are of two types, one is called “Training” data and the second one is “Test” Data. The primary idea of Machine Learning is to achieve a model using the training data. Types of Machine Learning Techniques: There are three types of Machine Learning Modelling Techniques. These are: Supervised Learning : In this Modelling Technique each training dataset should consist of input and correct output pairs. Unsupervised learning: This modeling technique is used for investigating the characteristics of the data and for preprocessing the data Reinforcement learning: This technique employs sets of input, some output, and grade as training data.
