Course Intro (Updated December 2023)

• This course was first created in 2021
• At the time, Dart 2.12 and Flutter 2.2 were the latest stable releases
• I’ve updated it in December 2023 to the latest Dart 3.2 and Flutter 3.16 releases

What has changed?

• The Flutter Animation APIs are (mostly) the same
• Dart has evolved, and there are many new linter rules

Latest Course Update

• I’ve updated all the starter projects and source code to Dart 3.2 and Flutter 3.16
• But I’ve not updated the videos

What does this mean for you?

• All the starter projects will be available with git checkout <branch-name> (much better than downloadable zip files!)
• Some of the videos will show some code that is valid but doesn’t follow the latest linter rules
• To make life easier, I’ve disabled some rules in the analysis_options.yaml file:

rules:
  # These rules have been disabled for convenience, so you won't encounter
  # them while following the course
  prefer_const_constructors: false
  use_key_in_widget_constructors: false
  avoid_print: false
  use_super_parameters: false
  library_private_types_in_public_api: false
  use_build_context_synchronously: false
  sort_child_properties_last: false

Summary

• The source code is updated to Dart 3.2, Flutter 3.16
• If something doesn’t look right, check the notes below the videos
• Have fun! 🚀
