Learn Egghead, Flutter and Redwoodjs

Flutter allows you to build native apps on iOS and Android from a single codebase. In this course, we'll walk through everything you need to know to quickly get up & running with Flutter including styling, navigation, local state management, theming, lists & forms.

Screencasting is hard! There are virtually infinite ways to produce one. For an egghead.io lesson we expect several key aspects to be met. We want to make sure that our lessons have depth and clarity. Clarity is important and starts with the technical aspects of recording your screen and voice. Once we have achieved this objective level of clarity, we dip into the stylistic aspects of recording a lesson. The style is subjective, and the goal of an egghead.io lesson is not to have an army of uniform drone producing flavorless video content for the masses.

Our mission is to make you a badass screencaster. We want to push you to another level. We've found that a small set of standard practices will create an awesome experience for the student, and eliminate frustration as we teach by providing a repeatable pattern for success. It’s not complicated. In fact, it is simple, but it isn’t easy.


This course will show you how to produce an egghead.io lesson. We strive for consistency in style, and these lessons will demonstrate the core elements that create our brand screencasts. Let’s learn how together.

Miscellaneous one-off lessons on debugging, productivity hacks, and JavaScript tricks.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Tips and Tricks

RedwoodJS takes the JAMstack philosophy to the next level. It brings together all the tools modern web development has to offer:

- React
- GraphQL
- Prisma

RedwoodJS abstracts database management away from you so that you can just build your schema and it will do all the plumbing. This collection will go over how to create a RedwoodJS project and the scripts that will help make your developer experience a joy.


Bringing full-stack to the JAMstack

Do you love the JAMstack philosophy but need a database-backed web app? Want great developer experience and easy scaling? Redwood is here! Built on React, GraphQL, and Prisma, Redwood works with the components and development workflow you love, but with simple conventions and helpers to make your experience even better.

Introduction to RedwoodJS: full-stack framework for JAMstack

In this lesson, we will cover Interfaces and Mixins. Interfaces act as a contract containing properties and methods that a class must define once it “implements” this interface. Mixins are Dart’s way of sharing properties and methods from multiple classes, since by design Dart adopts a single-inheritance model.

Define Interfaces and Share Class Members through Mixins in Dart

Futures represent a computation that does not complete immediately. Where a normal function returns a result, an asynchronous function returns a Future that will eventually contain the result. These are similar to Promises in JavaScript. In this lesson, we will learn how to program asynchronously by writing logic to capture values that are returned at a later time.

Capture and Return Asynchronous Values with Futures in Dart

In this lesson we’ll learn how to run a Flutter project on an iOS Simulator.

In this lesson we’ll learn how to style Text & Container widgets & also get a general understanding of how styling works in Flutter applications

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to download & install the Flutter CLI from the Flutter website. We’ll then use the Flutter CLI create our first Flutter project.

Install the Flutter SDK & Create Your First Project

In this lesson we’ll walk through the example project that the Flutter CLI created for us & discuss the files & folders that were created for us.

The Chrome Developer Tools (DevTools for short), are a set of web authoring and debugging tools built into Google Chrome.

Your page is showing high CPU usage and spinning up your laptop fan, but nothing is visibly happening. What is it doing, and why is it so slow?

This lesson is a real-world performance diagnosis of this very page, right here on egghead. Two infinite (but hidden) animations were causing CPU usage to spike, and Chrome's Task Manager and Performance tools helped uncover the elements causing the problem. You'll see how to use the profiler to record a snapshot, and learn a trick for discovering animations running in the background.

In this lesson we’ll learn how to render both local & network images in a Flutter application using the Image class.


Load an Image in a Flutter App with the Image Class

Streams represent a sequence of asynchronous events. Each event is either a data event, also called an element of the stream, or an error event, which is a notification that something has failed. When a stream has emitted all its events, a single "done" event will notify the listener that the end has been reached. In this lesson, we will learn how we can capture and handle streaming data, working with various Stream classes.

Capture and Handle Data Sequences with Streams in Dart

In this lesson we’ll learn about the main layout widgets you'll need when building your user interface in Flutter. We’ll take a look at Container, Center, Row, Column, Stack, & GridView widgets learn how they work.

Building Layouts in Flutter with Layout Widgets

In this lesson we’ll learn how to import widgets we’ve created in other files & use them in our project. We'll also look at how to create dynamic properties in our widgets in order to make them reusable across our application.

Creating, Importing & Using Dynamic Widgets from Other Files in a Flutter Application

In this lesson we’ll learn how to create & update state in a Flutter application.

In this lesson we’ll learn how Navigation in Flutter works by navigating to a new page when clicking on a button using the push & pop methods. We'll also look at how to pass properties to a new screen dynamically.

Getting Started with Navigation in Flutter

In this lesson, we'll learn how to specify a configuration object containing all of the routes for our application & navigate between them in a Flutter application.
