6 Great Flutter Resources to Learn from (Podcasts, Channels, Blogs)
Introduction
Flutter is a popular framework for developing mobile applications that has gained a significant following in recent years. To stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the Flutter community, many developers turn to podcasts, YouTube, and blogs for insights, tips, and tricks. The Flutter community is really lucky to have a lot of amazing content creators. In this article, I want to share some high-quality Flutter resources that make you a better developer.
1. A Very Good Blog
If you’re looking for insightful and informative articles about Flutter development, A Very Good Blog is an excellent resource. Run by the team at Very Good Ventures (VGV), a Flutter consultancy, the blog covers a wide range of topics related to the framework.
With its focus on practical tips and techniques, A Very Good Blog provides valuable insights for developers looking to improve their skills and learn more about best practices from experienced Flutter developers. They share a lot of high-quality blog articles, e.g. how to build a watchOS app, their approach to application architecture, a list of top companies using Flutter, their proposal for a very good setup, and many more.
What I really like about the blog articles is that they write great articles about their own experiences and best practices from which you can take a lot!
2. Flutter 101 (Podcast)
The Flutter 101 podcast is a fantastic resource for those interested in Flutter, and often also mobile app development in general. Hosted by Vince Varga, the podcast covers a wide range of topics aimed at helping beginners and advanced developers to get deeper insights into Flutter.
Episodes of the Flutter 101 podcast cover everything from the basics of the Flutter framework to more advanced topics such as state management and using Dart for the backend. Each episode is well-structured and presented in an easy-to-understand format, making it an ideal resource for developers at all experience levels. I especially recommend the episode with David DaRemer from VeryGoodVentures.
3. Flutter (YouTube Channel)
The Flutter YouTube channel is a valuable resource for developers learning about the Flutter framework. The channel is maintained by the official Flutter team and features a wide range of videos covering everything from the basics of the framework to more advanced topics.
One of the standout features of the Flutter YouTube channel is the quality of its content. Each video is professionally produced and presented in a clear and engaging manner, making it easy for developers of all levels to follow along.
In addition to tutorials and demonstrations of the framework, the Flutter YouTube channel also features talks and presentations from prominent members of the Flutter community. These presentations provide insights into the latest developments in the framework and showcase the wide range of applications for which Flutter can be used.
To summarize, the Flutter YouTube channel covers a diverse range of topics, and it’s the perfect place to start your journey into the world of Flutter development. I especially recommend the “Widget of the Week” playlist in which every week a new widget gets explained which was really helpful for me at the beginning of my Flutter journey to get an overview of all Widgets that are available.
4. Flying High With Flutter (Podcast)
The Flying High with Flutter podcast is a must-listen for developers looking to keep up with the latest trends and developments in the Flutter community. Hosted by Allen Wyma, a software engineer with a passion for Flutter, the podcast covers a wide range of topics related to the Flutter framework.
Episodes of the Flying High with Flutter podcast feature interviews with prominent members of the Flutter community, as well as discussions of the latest Flutter features and updates. Wyma’s engaging interviewing style and in-depth knowledge of the framework make for an enjoyable and informative listening experience.
What is special about the podcast is its focus on community. Allen regularly invites members of the Flutter community to share their experiences and insights, providing listeners with a valuable perspective on the framework and its applications. The podcast has also been the inspiration for my first Medium article “What is the difference between MVC and MVVM (for Flutter)?”.
5. Flutter Explained (YouTube Channel)
The Flutter Explained YouTube channel is a valuable resource for developers learning more about the Flutter framework. The channel is run by Max Weber and Mahtab Tadayon, both Flutter enthusiasts, and features a variety of videos covering topics ranging from the basics of Flutter to advanced techniques.
I especially liked the videos about different state management solutions. Wheater you want to learn about Provider, Cubit, or Redux, you will find a nice explanation on their channel. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, Max and Mahtabs’s engaging and informative videos are sure to provide valuable insights and inspiration for your next Flutter project.
6. It’s All Widgets! (Podcast)
Looking for an engaging and informative podcast about Flutter development? Look no further than the It’s All Widgets podcast. Hosted by Hillel Coren, a GoogleDeveloperExpert for Flutter, the podcast has a new guest in every episode that shares her knowledge about her Flutter journey.
Guests share their experiences and discuss how they use Flutter to build real-world applications, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how the framework is used in practice. I especially recommend the little bit older episode with the Flutter legend itself Rémi Rousselet.
