Sharing with ya’ll the recording of my session from Sapient’s April 11 Flutter meetup. Warning: This is a longish session (48 mins). Watch at your discretion. You have been warned.(I really need to work on my time-boxing skills) Do also see the other 🆒 sessions in this playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfZqxzeCGmPUWopRNcf86Kmusrog73yhL
I learned this the hard way. I knew Flutter’s stateless and stateful widget lifecycles well. But I was ignorant. I made a grave, mostly fatal, mistake of doing something like this: Do you see the graveness of my code? No? Check again, I’ll wait. Okay. Maybe you’ve guessed it, maybe not. See the code below. […]
I have been writing unit tests like crazy for my muse Flutter app, in my own TDD-like fashion. Writing meaningful tests and watch them go from red to green is a great feeling for real. If you aren’t doing that yet, I highly recommended. Flutter comes with an excellent testing library called — wait a […]
Developer: “YESSS! My world-class widget test is ready to run.” (runs the test) Debug Console: “Expected to see 1 widget, found none.” Developer: What! Why, why, why!!! (figures out all async calls in the widget; spends 4Â hours re-reading about widget testing, exploring the source code of WidgetTester.pump()Â and setting up mock classes using Mockito.) Developer: “Muwaha […]
More than 2 years ago, I created a lightweight point of sale system (POS) for our restaurant in Jalandhar called SkewerSpot (SS). I wrote the thing in under a week (cowboy coding, yodlee yodlee youdoo) in Ionic/Angular. Essentially, it’s a collection of hybrid mobile apps that allows a restaurant to manage orders in real-time via […]
After 3 long months, we had the second edition of Enterprise JavaScript meetup. The first one was in June. It was an interesting meetup. 40-odd people signed up (RSVP’d) and 10 turned up. That’s a nearly 25% conversion rate. Not bad! Despite the small group size, we had a good time. Enterprise JavaScript: Building Beautiful […]
During my time spent on App Brewery’s Flutter course, I created not one, not two, but 12 (twelve) apps. That’s a bunch! All apps are simple, nothing complicated, except the last 2-3 ones which have slightly complex widget trees. Creating in Flutter is fun, I have said that before. It’s fast and enjoyable. I will […]
I have been doing a lot of commits lately. Sadly, none of my dozens of commits are included in my total contribution count on GitHub. Why? Because all those commits were to a forked repository. It’s 2019, and I think it’s plain stupid. I love GitHub, but if there was one thing I’d like to […]
When I was learning React Native, I was sort of super-impressed by its emphasis on animations. We all know how critical animations are in creating experiences that users actually like. RN has a profound Animated API and loads of examples on creating custom animations. There’s only one problem: adding beyond-simple animations is tricky and a […]
