![]() ![]() Approved as a standard by Ecma (ECMA-408), it’s used to build just about anything on the web, servers, desktop and of course, mobile applications (Yes, the same people who standardized our favorites ES5 and ES6.)ĭart, when used in web applications, is transpiled to JavaScript so it runs on all web browsers. So, if you prefer the C languages or Java, Dart is the one for you, and you’ll likely be proficient in it.ĭart is not only used for mobile app development but is a programming language. So, I took to digging deeper on all things Dart.ĭart looks a bit like C and is an object-oriented programming language. They even had a section on their docs for developers moving from React Native. I enjoy coding hybrid mobile apps too, so wanted to give Flutter a try, as I had done Xamarin sometime last year.Īt my first glance of Flutter (and Dart), I felt befuddled and couldn’t seem to understand anything. I was ecstatic to be working on a ReactNative mobile app for my internship. As it is starting out, the Flutter community is not as extensive as ReactNative, Ionic, or Xamarin.Ī while back, I discovered a liking for JavaScript. Dart is another product by Google and released version 2.1, before Flutter, in November. Dart is the programming language used to code Flutter apps. Google had its first ever release of Flutter 1.0 last December, after having it in beta mode for over 18 months. Now we can watch Google’s turn at putting its fingers in the pie with Flutter. They gave us React Native, a completely JavaScript code base relying on native SDK’s.Īnd these aren’t the only ones, but a few of many hybrid mobile frameworks. In 2015, Facebook used React.js to reinvent it for mobile app developers. Ionic helped web developers use their existing skills in the growing mobile app industry. Ionic sprung up in 2013 with its first release by Drifty Co. And thus began the revolution of hybrid mobile applications, the ease in writing one code base for many platforms. It all began in 2011: Xamarin, now a Microsoft-owned company, came up with a solution for hybrid mobile apps through its signature product, Xamarin SDK with C#. ![]()
