Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide students with conceptual and practical competence in mobile application development using the Flutter framework and the Dart programming language, and to enable them to apply user interface design, state management, data exchange, local and cloud-based data storage, testing, and deployment processes within an integrated mobile application development life cycle.
Course Content
Introduction to mobile application development; native and cross-platform development approaches; fundamental structures of the Dart programming language; Flutter framework architecture; widget tree, stateless and stateful widgets; layout, themes, visual components, and user interaction; navigation and routing; form handling and user input validation; state management approaches; data exchange through REST APIs; JSON processing; an introduction to cloud-based mobile services and Firebase; local data persistence; access to device features; error handling; testing, debugging, and performance improvement; application packaging, deployment processes, and term project development.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite. Prior knowledge of object-oriented programming, basic data structures, and basic web services is recommended.
Resources
Lecture notes, official Flutter documentation, official Dart documentation, Flutter API documentation, and sample project notes provided by the instructor. The Flutter documentation is the main technical reference for widgets, examples, updates, and API documentation, while the Dart documentation covers language features, the SDK, the package ecosystem, and best practices. (docs.flutter.dev)
Notes
Flutter Cookbook, Flutter State Management Documentation, Flutter Navigation Documentation, Flutter Testing Documentation, Firebase for Flutter Documentation, and the pub.dev package repository. Firebase can be used as a Backend-as-a-Service approach that supports the integration of cloud services such as Authentication, Firestore, and Storage in Flutter applications. (docs.flutter.dev)
