Getting Started with Flutter & Dart

Packt begins with the development environment before introducing Dart and a first Flutter application. The setup-focused opening can be useful for learners who need to get an emulator and editor working together. Language fundamentals then provide a base for understanding the app’s code.

What you will learn

• Set up a Flutter development environment.
• Run an initial app in an emulator.
• Use basic Dart functions, variables and classes.

Who this suits

Beginners with no prior Flutter or Dart experience; basic programming knowledge is helpful.

Before you enroll

Check the Flutter, Dart and package versions used in the exercises. Native iOS builds require a suitable Apple development environment. Cloud services, AI APIs and app-store distribution can have separate requirements and costs beyond course enrollment.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Run a minimal app, change one widget and keep a short setup log that records the tools and versions used.
