Layouts in Flutter: Exploring Stateful Widgets
Widgets in Flutter can be stateless or stateful. Stateless widgets have properties that do not change, while stateful widgets contain mutable states that can be updated. In this course, you will create Flutter widgets that hold state information in a different object. You will see how you can handle user actions that update state and how Flutter automatically redraws widgets when their state changes. Next, you will build and use a number of different stateful widgets such as counters, checkboxes, and widgets that update state based on a timer. You will share state across multiple widgets by storing state in a parent component, and you will use callbacks to allow child components to change the parent's state. Finally, you will learn to design layouts using the Column and Row widgets in Flutter.

Flutter Development: Using Classes & Objects in Dart
Dart is an object-oriented programming language that supports mixin-based inheritance and functional constructs. Mixin-based inheritance allows you to reuse code from a class without having to inherit from that class and is very useful for modeling inclusive functionality for classes. In this course, we will focus on object-oriented programming constructs in Dart. We'll explore generative and factory constructs, and also see how const constructors can be used to create objects that are compile-time constants. Next, you will learn to use getters and setters in Dart and see how you can implement operator overloading, a feature borrowed from C++. You will discover class inheritance and interface implementation and see how to apply the mixin-based inheritance model to reuse code from classes. You will learn how to install and use third-party libraries from the pub.dev repository and include these as dependencies in your code using the pubspec.yaml file. Finally, you will use futures and the async and await keywords to write asynchronous code in Dart.

Layouts in Flutter: Implementing Stacks, Lists, & Grids in Flutter
The stack, list, and grid layouts are very popular in mobile applications because they make great use of screen real estate and allow you to represent information in a manner that is easy for users to understand and parse. In this course, you will learn to use the Stack widget to layer widgets one on top of another. You will use relative and positioned widgets as a part of the stack and see that positioned widgets give you very fine-grained control over where a widget is placed. Next, you will represent elements using the ListView. You will configure the properties of the ListView to match your use case and use the ListTile and the Card widgets to build list elements. You will also build list views with an infinite number of elements. Finally, you will represent your app elements using the GridView.

In this course, you will discover the types of input widgets you can use to accept input. You will explore use cases and special characteristics of each input type and how inputs can be grouped together into forms with a submit button. Next, you will implement and handle changes in a variety of inputs. You will use change handlers to handle input changes and state updates and use grouped widgets to update the same state using multiple inputs. Finally, you will see how input widgets can be embedded as part of Flutter forms. You will learn how form state is accessed and validated using form field widgets and how you can create custom widgets that can be embedded in Flutter forms.

Forms and Animations with Flutter: Detecting & Handling Gestures
Users often interact with mobile devices using gestures, which are semantic actions that can update the state of the application. Flutter makes it easy to detect and handle gestures using built-in widgets. In this course, you will discover how the GestureDetector in Flutter helps you detect motions in your app that are gestures. The GestureDetector allows you to configure callbacks for the specific gestures you want to handle and allows you to detect and respond to these gestures. If multiple gesture detectors are activated, Flutter uses the gesture arena to disambiguate and invoke the callback on the right gestures. Next, you will explore how to implement gesture detection in your application. You will learn to handle tap, long press, double tap, and drag-related gestures. You will also configure callbacks for other states in the gesture lifecycle such as the start or end of a gesture. Finally, you will see how you can override the default behavior of the gesture arena by configuring a raw gesture detector that allows multiple winners in the arena.

Forms and Animations with Flutter: Implementing & Configuring Animations
Mobile applications can be made fun, interactive, and interesting using animations. Animations add continuity to transitions that you make in your application and make them more intuitive for users. Flutter offers built-in animatable widgets known as implicitly animated widgets while at the same time giving you the tools that you need to build your own custom advanced animations. In this course, you will explore how animations provide an illusion of motion and how Flutter makes animating widgets straightforward using implicit animations. Next, you will explore implicit animations using a variety of animatable widgets such as the AnimatedContainer, AnimatedOpacity, AnimatedCrossFade, and AnimatedSlide. You will learn to create and manage explicit animations that use the AnimationController and how to generate the right property values for your animations using tweens. You will also see how the AnimatedBuilder improves the performance of your animations. Finally, you will explore a range of animations such as Hero animations, staggered animations, and physics simulations that animate objects using the laws of physics.

Flutter and Backends: Connecting to Remote Backends Using HTTP Requests
All mobile applications display data to users and allow users to manipulate this data. The data can be stock quotes in a trading application, products in an e-commerce application, or restaurants and dishes in a food delivery application. This data is usually stored in a remote backend and exposed via HTTP REST endpoints. In this course, you will explore data persistence and create an e-commerce application using the Fake Store API. Then you will serialize and parse JSON data using the dart:convert library. Finally, you will set up and run your own HTTP server on your local machine and write code to handle GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE requests to view, update, add, and delete products from your app's catalog. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to use the http and dart:convert libraries to access and update data from a remote server using HTTP requests.
