Hello guys, you might have heard about flutter framework from Google for mobile app development. It allows you to develop native mobile apps for both Android and iOS apps using a single source code.

That means, no more porting for different devices and platforms. If you are like me, who thinks Flutter is the future of mobile development and going to really took off in 2020, and looking for some excellent online courses to learn Flutter, then you have come to the right place.

In this article, I am going to share some of the best online courses and tutorials to learn Flutter in 2020 from Udemy, Pluralsight, Coursera, Udemy and Udacity, but before going into that, let's see what Flutter is and why everyone is so excited about it.

Well, in general, whenever something comes from Google, it makes a lot of developers excited like Angular, Dart, and now Flutter. I have got my hand dirty in both Android and iOS using Java and Objective-C in the past, but after working for some time, I decided to move on.

I never really get into the world of mobile app development, but recently, I learned about Flutter and decided to give Mobile app development another shot, and I instantly fell in love with Flutter.

Unlike Android and iOS, which you can use to create apps only for their platform, Flutter makes it easy to create cross-platform apps with a single codebase, and that's what encouraged me to learn Flutter.

Developing mobile applications can take a lot of time, and having a different codebase for different platforms like Android and iOS just make it even more complicated, and Flutter promises to solve that problem without compromising the natural look and feel, which is what most of the app developers want.

Flutter uses native UI components, which means things like scrolling and navigation act just like they should for the native applications. To keep the thing simple, Flutter also makes development more natural because all you need is a simulator for building and testing your app.

For those who are still wondering what Flutter is, its' nothing but a portable UI toolkit from Google for crafting beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

In other words, Flutter is an open-source mobile application development framework created by Google. It is used to develop applications for Android and iOS devices.

Flutter is also powered by Dart, a programming language from Google, which has excellent support for asynchronous operations, which is very important for today's IO and Data-intensive applications.
