The document summarizes an introductory workshop on app development using Flutter. It discusses how Flutter allows for cross-platform development and rich UI experiences. It then covers key aspects of building apps with Flutter like widgets, layouts, states, buttons, permissions. The workshop also included a quiz, hands-on coding exercises, and a suggested roadmap for learning Flutter in depth.

1. App Development
Workshop: Intro to
Flutter
Tech-Con, organized by GDSC IIITN

2. Introduction to App Development
● Mobile apps have become an integral part of our daily
lives, offering convenience, accessibility, and functionality
for various purposes.
● Mobile apps are developed for different platforms, such
as iOS, Android, and others, to cater to the diverse user
base and market demands.
● Using frameworks like Flutter for app development can
offer several benefits, such as faster development cycles,
cross-platform capabilities, and rich UI experiences,
enabling developers to create high-quality apps efficiently
and effectively.

3. 1. Frontend
➔ User interface (UI)
components that users
interact with
➔ UI components may
include screens, views,
widgets, buttons, etc.
➔ Responsible for rendering
the app's visual elements
and handling user
interactions
Architecture of an App
2. Backend
➔ Server-side logic that
manages data and
business logic
➔ May include APIs,
databases, cloud services,
authentication, etc.
➔ Responsible for processing
data, handling requests,
and performing business
operations
3. Importance
➔ App architecture impacts
performance, scalability,
and maintainability
➔ Understanding app
architecture aids in efficient
code design and easier
maintenance
➔ Proper app architecture
enables flexibility for adding
features and integrating
with third-party services

4. Introduction to Flutter
● Flutter: Open-source UI toolkit for building mobile,
web, and desktop apps from a single codebase
● Key Features: Hot-reloading, rich UI components,
single codebase for multi-platform, strong community
support
● Advantages: Fast development, high performance,
cross-platform, visually appealing UI, suitable for
different use cases

5. Well Known Apps Developed in Flutter

6. Components of an App
❖ Widgets:
● Basic UI elements in Flutter
● Includes text, images, buttons, etc.
● Used to build the user interface of
an app
❖ Layouts:
● Types of layouts in Flutter (e.g.,
Row, Column, Stack)
● Used to organize widgets on the
screen
❖ States:
● refers to the values and
information that can change and
affect the appearance and
behavior of a widget.
● Stateless Widgets (immutable) vs.
Stateful Widgets (mutable)
❖ Buttons:
● Importance of buttons in app
development for user interactions
● Types of buttons in Flutter (e.g.,
RaisedButton, FlatButton,
IconButton)
● Usage and functionality

7. Stateless Widget vs Stateful
Widget
● Mutable, used for
dynamic UI components.
● Choose Stateful for
dynamic UI
● Example : form, user
input, UI updates based
on data changes
● Immutable, used for
static UI components.
● Choose Stateless for
static UI
● Example : image, text,
icon etc.

8. App Permission
Concept of app permissions and their
importance in mobile app development:
➔ Overview of different types of
permissions apps may require (e.g.,
camera, location, contacts)
➔ Implications of granting app permissions
to users' personal data and the need for
responsible permissions management
➔ Best practices for requesting app
permissions, such as clear explanations
and seeking permissions only when
necessary for app functionality
