Perficient was excited to have an opportunity to bring the Flutter Meetup Platform to our Nagpur office for the first time for an interactive, in-person event.
As Flutter Nagpur reached out to Perficient to become a Venue Partner, Perficient is uniquely positioned to develop and accelerate Flutter opportunities.
What is Flutter?
Flutter is a Google framework that allows developers to build mobile, web, desktop, and embedded applications using one shared codebase. Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter uses the programming language Dart and compiles it into machine code. Host devices understand this code, which ensures a fast and effective performance.
Flutter allows developers to write code once and use it across multiple platforms Android, iOS, web, and desktop. This single codebase approach significantly reduces development time and effort. As a result, it helps in saving a significant amount of the cost of app development.
While Flutter does have a learning curve, it can be a good choice for beginners because of its ease of use and comprehensive documentation. Additionally, Flutter’s “hot reload” feature allows for quick iteration and makes.
Flutter is a framework that can be used for both front-end and back-end development. However, most Flutter developers use it for the former. This is because Flutter makes it easy to create beautiful, interactive user interfaces.
Flutter Meetup from Start to Finish
It started with Flutter Nagpur members getting the ball rolling by sharing the meetup agenda and brief introductions to speakers. Prashant Nandanwar, Director, Perficient GDC Nagpur, shared opening ceremony notes that encompassed the platform’s capabilities and mobile solutions alongside Perficient’s broader range of services and capabilities.
Several Guest speakers from Flutter India enlightened 60+ participants with exciting sessions that fostered engaging discussions, including quizzes and Q&A. Some of the session topics were Flutter Webrtc, Computer vision with ML kit, and Hive: Local Storage. Perficient India speakers Suriya Kalidoss and Sunita Vangapandu delivered a step-ahead session on “Flutter-ing into Future with Generative AI,” which took the participants on a fun and excitement-filled ride to the future of Flutter with AI. The session was very well received.
Participants engaged in valuable discussions during the networking break at the middle of the meetup and also discovered Flutter opportunities. In addition to insightful group discussions and product demonstrations, the Flutter Meetup also included a trivia contest.
The top 3 winners were awarded. By the end of the meetup, all the speakers were felicitated with a memento and participants indulged into various goodies from Flutter Nagpur.
Perficient Nagpur looks forward to hosting more Flutter Meetups in the future to encourage thoughtful discussion and sharing of knowledge within the Flutter community.
