Are you new to Flutter and don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! The good news is that there are some great Flutter tutorial videos on YouTube and they provide a great roadmap for beginners. In the rest of this article, I’ll provide links to some of these videos, as well as some simple but effective projects that you can build yourself, which will help you practice Flutter and quickly improve your basic skills. Let’s get started!
1. To-Do List App
This project is one that Flutter beginners often try. Through a “To-Do List” application, you can learn the basic building blocks of Flutter. You can improve your application by practicing with stateful widgets, lists, buttons and data management. You can even go further and include database solutions like SQLite or Hive where you can store user data locally.
2. Weather App
If you want to learn how to use APIs, a simple weather app is a great place to start. With a weather API, you can use Flutter to get instant weather information. You can experiment with pulling data from APIs, JSON parsing and creating a simple interface with this project. If you can also show the user the information of their location, your application becomes more interactive.
3. Currency App
Another great project that uses real-world data can be an currency converter app. You can build an app that shows current exchange rates with a simple interface and learn API integration with Flutter. In your app, you can show translations between different currencies and add a feature where the user can save their favorite exchange rates.
4. Quiz App
If you are looking for a project that is both fun and instructive, a simple quiz application is for you. You can learn Flutter’s form structures and condition management while creating components like questions, choices and score tracking. With a project like this, you can better understand dynamic data management and user feedback within the application.
5. Shopping List App
By developing a shopping list application, you can learn list structure, data input-output and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in Flutter. Users can add, delete or edit new shopping items within the app. You can even make your app more interesting with features like adding photos for products.
6. Expense Tracker App
Expense Tracker application is the perfect project to learn how to display data on a table or graph. Using the “charts” package in Flutter, you can visualize users’ spending on a monthly or weekly basis. With this project you can gain important experience in data manipulation, chart display and state management.
7. A Simple Blog App
If you have backend knowledge, you can make a simple blog application. With Flutter, it will be quite instructive to develop an application where posts can be listed, new posts can be added, and even posts can be updated and deleted. With this project you can use a backend service like Firebase and learn real-time data management.
Things to Remember When Developing a Project:
Don’t start the project with big expectations. Starting with a small idea and developing it step by step will bring you a lot.
Checking out Flutter’s official documentation will help you find solutions faster when you run into problems.
Flutter-related forums, GitHub projects, and Stack Overflow are great places to find answers to your questions.
Practice is more important than theoretical knowledge when learning Flutter. With the projects above, you can apply what you have learned in the real world and increase your confidence. Come on, how about starting your first project?
