Abstract

As we saw in the last chapter, Flutter enables us to create apps that run on the Web, on desktop computers, and on mobile devices (which really is the main draw). But wait a second, how exactly do we create these apps? What editor should we use? What is needed in the Flutter project? How do you compile the Dart source code? Do we need any other tools to support the project? How do you get it into a browser or on a device in order to test it out? Good questions, right?
