Flutter Cookbook: 100+ step-by-step recipes for building cross-platform, professional-grade apps with Flutter 3.10.x and Dart 3.x, 2nd Edition

Book 100% recommend.. very easy to read , rich technical . Great knowledge of the autor in every topics .. it’s an excellent resource for all developer level .

Must have for beginners in flutter development and a good source of useful information for experienced devs. Very liked this book

Disclosure: I was given a copy of the book to review. Overall, I found the Flutter Cookbook 2 to be well laid out, properly ordered and extremely comprehensive. It is very much a how too on the Flutter framework and the dart language; there are many code samples which are helpful. Also, there are many setup guides on development tool and companion resources. I would have liked to see some introduction to design pattern and best practices. Even with this omission, I will certain use this book as a good to reference for development.

TL;DR: This is a great book for learning Dart and making the most out of Flutter. I'm new to the language and framework; the author does a wonderful job explaining the ins and outs of Flutter while creating interesting and varied projects. Highly recommended! NOTE: This book assumes you have a programming background. Users of any C-based language (or JS) will likely feel right at home as the syntax is only very slightly different. It is assumed you have worked with OOP before as well, as the explanations for things like how classes, data structures, etc are only detailed at a surface level. That being said, you should immediately be able to understand and pick up the language with few problems, so long as you have experience in some programming. Background: I'm a self-taught developer of 10+ years, mainly specializing in C#/C++/Python as those tend to be the languages I work with the most. I'm constantly evaluating new technologies and have read countless books on various languages/frameworks. I've always been a life-long learner and this has certainly carried over to my programming. The opening chapter gets your development environment set up. While there were quite a few steps for me being on Linux, the author was thorough and covered not only a Windows setup, but also Mac and Linux. I appreciated this a lot. Chapter 2 has you creating a simple demo project and explains the framework/files it creates. I was impressed with how easy it is to switch between target exports (web, phone, linux, etc). The language itself, while still new to me, is very easy to understand and I was able to settle right in. Chapter 3 explains the syntax and other important library/language functions. It covers what you would expect from a programming book and the author does a great job of explaining how Dart works. I was particular happy to see that the vast majority of the syntax and it's uses are nearly-identical to C#, minus a few exceptions. At the end of the chapter, I felt prepared to start writing code and was at ease with doing so. From the 4th chapter on, The book has you building practical and fun applications using the framework, mostly through mobile phone development. I never felt lost during any of this and was SUPER impressed with how easy Flutter makes it to organize a UI and build a fully-functioning cross-platform product. As the attach screenshot shows, It's incredibly easy to Scaffold out projects and the author does a wonderful job slowly introducing new concepts/functionality. Being new to Flutter, I wasn't really sure what to expect going in to this. Now that I'm more skilled, I plan on using this more in my own production environment, particularly in my personal projects. I'm VERY glad I decided to read this book and can't recommend highly enough to anyone wanting to try out this great framework; the author does a wonderful job bringing it all together in a comprehensive, cohesive and entertaining way.

I am learning Swift and SwiftUI for IOS, but at some point, I want to write code for Android. So I decided to check this book out. I have not read it front to back, but I have looked through it quite a bit. I love how it is laid out. Each chapter has the title of what skill/task it will discuss, but then it has a "Getting ready" section, a "How to do it" section, and lastly a "How it works" section. There are lots of screen shots, and clear examples and explanations. I think when I am ready to hop over to Flutter/Android programming, this book will be one of my best assets!

Not quite happy with the book format quality. I tried to return, but Amazon did not let me do it. Besides that, it seems the book is just copied and pasted from Google Flutter documentation.

I absolutely love this book and wholeheartedly recommend it. It is completely up to date with the latest Flutter/Dart libraries. The writing is excellent, and in my opinion, it is the best book currently available on the subject. I have tried several other Flutter books in the past, and they were poorly written with numerous code typos. However, this book is different. It is meticulously written, and I didn't come across any mistakes. Initially, I thought it was expensive, but when it finally arrived, I realized it is worth every penny. Investing in this book is definitely worthwhile.

Not really an efficient way to learn Flutter especially with AI now. It may be okay for beginners but it doesn't really teach you how to apply all the concepts into a quality scalable program either, making it useless for intermediate coders who know the basics of dart/flutter

Libro molto completo con esercizi passo passo, descritti molto bene in vari passaggi e facili da comprendere. I progetti sono disponibili on-line. Consigliatissimo per iniziare ed approfondire.

Estoy emocionado de compartir mi opinión sobre el libro "Flutter Cookbook: 100+ step-by-step recipes". Como alguien que está aprendiendo Flutter, este libro ha sido un recurso invaluable en mi viaje de desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles.

La claridad y el detalle con los que se presentan las recetas son impresionantes. No solo se te muestra qué hacer, sino también por qué se hace de esa manera. Esto es fundamental para comprender profundamente Flutter y poder aplicar esos conocimientos en tus propios proyectos. Otra característica que me gustó es la organización del libro. Las recetas están agrupadas por categorías lógicas, lo que facilita la búsqueda de la información que necesitas en un momento dado. Además, el índice y el sistema de búsqueda son excelentes, lo que hace que sea fácil encontrar respuestas a tus preguntas rápidamente. Además de las recetas en sí, el libro incluye ejemplos de código bien comentados que puedes utilizar como punto de partida en tus propios proyectos. Esto me ha ahorrado mucho tiempo y esfuerzo, ya que no siempre tengo que empezar desde cero. En resumen, "Flutter Cookbook" es un recurso imprescindible para cualquier desarrollador que esté aprendiendo o trabajando con Flutter. Las recetas paso a paso, la claridad de las explicaciones y los ejemplos de código prácticos lo convierten en un libro que realmente acelera el proceso de aprendizaje.

This book has an amazing organization and several examples.

I really love it well information and good paper quality

I am currently learning and understanding Flutter from the kindle version of this book. I find the recipe format of this book easy to understand. Simone Alessandria has done an excellent job of explaining the concepts clearly in simple terms with great code examples.
