Learn Flutter, Glmatrix and Tweenlite

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.

Flutter allows you to build beautiful native apps on iOS and Android from a single codebase.

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

AngularJS animations and TweenLite make it really easy to create cool 3d effects in your application.

We will setup our first command-line Dart application. We will use the apt-get package manager on Ubuntu to install the SDK and write our first program. This will prepare you to follow along in the next lessons.

Set up your first Dart project on Linux

In this lesson, we will look at the different forms of creating parameters that are optional, namely positional and named. Optional positional arguments are useful when specifying a default value for a particular parameter. Optional named parameters are useful for specifying parameter defaults and writing self-documenting functions and methods.

Define Optional Named and Positional Parameters for Functions and Methods in Dart

In this lesson, we will look at various ways we can control the flow of our Dart code. Control flow statements allow us to break up the flow of code by employing decision-making, looping, branching and enabling our program to conditionally execute particular blocks of code. Dart adopts common control flow statements such as if/else, switch, while, do-while and for loops.

We will setup our first command-line Dart application. We will use the Chocolatey package manager to install the SDK and write our first  program. This will form the basis for future lessons.

Setup your first Dart project on Windows

We will look at how we can create classes and explore some various features. Dart adopts a single-inheritance model, meaning that you can only extend a single class. We will therefore extend our class example by creating an Employee subclass of a parent Person class.

Understand Classes and Inheritance in Dart

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 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.

Flutter Project Walkthrough

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

Run a Flutter App on iOS

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

Style a Flutter Text and Container Widget

In this lesson we’ll learn how to use themes in order to share colors and font styles throughout our application.

Using Themes in Flutter to Share Colors and Font Styles

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.
