Flutter & Dart - The Complete Guide
A Complete Guide to the Flutter SDK & Flutter Framework for building native iOS and Android apps
Watch Promo Enroll in Course
Join the most comprehensive & bestselling Flutter course and learn how to build amazing iOS and Android apps!
Thanks to Flutter, you don't need to learn Android/ Java and iOS/ Swift to build real native mobile apps!
Because Flutter - a framework developed by Google - allows you to learn one language (Dart) and build beautiful native mobile apps in no time. Flutter is a SDK providing the tooling to compile Dart code into native code and also gives you a rich set of pre-built and pre-styled UI elements (so called widgets) which you can use to compose your user interfaces.
Because of its ease of use and flexibility, Flutter is an extremely popular solution for building native mobile apps for Android & iOS.
This course will teach Flutter & Dart from scratch, NO prior knowledge of either of the two is required! And you certainly don't need any Android or iOS development experience since the whole idea behind Flutter is to only learn one language.
The course will start at the very basics and teach you Flutter & Dart step-by-step, from the ground up. You'll learn about all core concepts, the base Dart syntax and also many crucial advanced features - therefore, by the end of the course, you'll be able to build your own Flutter apps.
Of course, you'll learn Flutter not only in theory but by building multiple, realistic demo apps, allowing you to apply what you learned on real examples.
With Flutter, you'll be able to write code only once and ship your apps both to the Apple AppStore and Google Play.
You can use the rich widget suite Flutter provides to add common UI elements like buttons, switches, forms, toolbars, lists and more. Or you simply build your own widgets - Flutter makes that a breeze, too. This course covers it all!
Here's what's included in the course:
- Detailed setup instructions for both macOS and Windows
- A thorough introduction to Flutter, Dart and the concept behind widgets
- An overview of the built-in widgets and how you may add your own ones
- Debugging tipps & tricks
- Page navigation with tabs, side drawers and stack-based navigation
- State management solutions
- Handling and validating user input
- Connecting your Flutter app to backend servers by sending HTTP requests
- User authentication
- Adding Google Maps
- Using native device features like the camera
- Adding beautiful animations & page transitions
- Image upload
- Push Notifications - manual approach and automated
- And more!
This course is for you if ...
- You're interested in building real native mobile apps for the two most popular mobile platforms - iOS and Android
- You want to explore the full set of features Flutter offers
- Don't want to spend hours learning two completely different languages
Course prerequisites:
- Basic programming language knowledge will help but is not required
- You DON'T need to know Flutter or Dart
- You DON'T need to know iOS (Swift/ObjectiveC) or Android (Java)

Don't take my word for it - here's what other students are saying.
Tomaž Lovrenčič
Very comprehensive and descriptive information is provided along the path. For most of us probably Dart itself is not the programming language we are have been working on other project, therefore a more "from the scratch" perspective is highly appropriate.
Vinu Pollyr
Very well taught, the instructor does a very good job at explaining the fundamentals and at the same time reflect on the latest practices in using flutter.
Stepheniec
Fantastic course so far. Maximillian is a very professional instructor, he speaks clearly and doesn't rush through concepts. Even at an absolute beginner's level, I feel very confident in the skills I'm learning already. I would 100% recommend this course.

Your Instructor
As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enable me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses, more than 2,500,000 students worldwide as well as a successful YouTube channel with 900.000 subscribers is the best proof for that.
The most rewarding experience for me is to see how people find new, better jobs, build awesome web applications, work on amazing projects or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of my content.
That's why, together with Manuel Lorenz, I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience and to share the pleasure of learning with our students.
