Building Products Full-Stack with Dart and Flutter [workshop]
For the past few years, Flutter has revolutionized mobile app development by allowing developers to build high-performance, cross-platform applications with ease. However, building a full-stack application can be challenging because developers often juggle multiple languages and technologies to solve problems across an application stack.
This workshop will explore how to build a full-stack application with server-side Dart and Flutter.
By leveraging the power of Flutter for the front-end and server-side Dart, developers can build high-performance applications with ease.
We will start by introducing the idea behind full-stack development in a single language. Following a quick intro to Flutter and server-side Dart and their key features, we will then dive into building a full-stack application, starting with the front-end using Flutter, and then moving onto the backend using Dart. We will cover topics such as handling user authentication, building RESTful APIs, and using a database to store data.
Throughout the workshop, we will highlight best practices for building full-stack applications and how to ensure that your application is scalable and maintainable. We will also highlight the advantages of using Flutter and server-side Dart together, including reduced development time and increased developer productivity.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a solid understanding of how to build a full-stack application using Flutter and server-side Dart. They will also have learned best practices for building scalable and maintainable applications and the benefits of using Flutter and server-side Dart together.
Key takeaways
- Understanding the benefits of developing full-stack
- Introduction to Flutter
- Introduction to server-side Dart
- Data serialization between the application and API
- Data persistence
- Authenticating the client/server
- Deploying the application to the cloud
Level: intermediate
Duration: 120-240 minutes
Type: Workshop
Building Productive Product Engineering Teams
Being a product engineer before 2024 was hard. Developers must be masters of everything from frontend to DevOps, juggling multiple technologies, responsibilities, and languages. We need more hours in a day to handle maintenance, feature development, and deployments. It's not fair!
Fortunately, some tools and practices can help reduce the burden of building quality products.
In this talk, we identify responsibilities that create extraneous cognitive load (responsibilities that do not contribute directly to product outcomes) and cause friction then identify processes, tools, and technologies that reduce that load.
Expect to leave this talk as a product engineer liberated from drowning in responsibilities and learn to have more time for the product.
