An Introduction for Beginners


Flutter is an open-source UI toolkit created by Google for building beautiful, fast, and cross-platform applications from a single codebase.


πŸš€ Why Use Flutter?

Flutter allows you to:


Build iOS, Android, Web, and Desktop apps


Use one programming language and one codebase


Create visually stunning and high-performance apps


πŸ› ️ How Does Flutter Work?

Flutter uses:


Dart – A programming language developed by Google.


A widget-based architecture – Everything in Flutter is a widget (buttons, layouts, text, images).


A custom rendering engine – Flutter doesn't rely on native UI components; it draws everything from scratch, making it look and behave the same on all platforms.
