Flutter is a user interface toolkit from Google which is primarily used to develop mobile applications but can also be deployed to create web and desktop apps. With Flutter, we can develop applications for both IOS and Android using the same source code.

Flutter has grown incredibly over the past few years, providing a platform to build modern applications. Increasingly, developers are looking to build event-driven applications where user interactions play out in realtime.
