- Basic knowledge of Flutter, Dart, and Firebase
- Experience with Android and iOS mobile apps development
Audience
- Developers
Flutter is an open-source UI framework created by Google that lets you build cross-platform applications for Android, iOS, web, and desktop operating systems.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use Flutter to create cross-platform applications .
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
The outline below is a preliminary one, a starting point for identifying a course format fit for the delegates' learning objectives and level of knowledge, and can be further discussed and adjusted, both in terms of content and duration, during a technical call with NobleProg's trainer.
