  1. Flutter for Web Android, iOS, Desktop… and Web? Lara Martín

    @Lariki Flutter/Dart GDE - Android Miguel Beltran @MiBLT Freelance Consultant
  2. What is Flutter? “Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building

    beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.”
  3. Dart final antennaDiameter = 3.7; var flybyObjects = ['Jupiter', 'Saturn',

    'Uranus']; for (var object in flybyObjects) { print(object); } class Spacecraft { String name; toString() => ‘Spacecraft: $name’; }
