Reading Time: 3 minutes
We are happy to join Liga AC LABS this year and we invite you to discover the world of mobile app development through our Flutter lab called:
Flutter Away
You will learn to create a mobile app for iOS & Android using Flutter.
Each of you will create your own app with a theme of your choice, no templated apps. You will first learn the basics of app development in Flutter, then learn to consume an API and display data (you will choose a public API that best fits your app idea) and learn to use Firebase to authenticate users. Gradually towards the end of this Flutter lab, you will have the opportunity to add more and more advanced functionalities and to customize your app even more.
