Is there a reason that flutter2 is not considered? With version 2 comes a push for first class desktop support.
Admittedly, I don't currently know of any books that have been revised to cover version 2, but there is momentum on the desktop. For example, it will be the default framework on Ubuntu moving forward [1].

- x0054 5y agoWow, I haven't heard about the Ubuntu taking up Flutter. I wrote several commercial Flutter Mobile apps before, so this should be an easy transition for me. However, how mature is the desktop support in Flutter. I read that it's still in very early beta on Windows. Linux support and MacOS appears to be solid. I think this is worth a look for sure. One of my goals was to learn something new, but learning something new about something I already know is great too! :) Thanks for the pointer!
- theorth 5y agoactually it is pretty stable for dart and c interrop code you just can't have external view support like a browser yet
- grlass 5y agoThe cwtch.im project (metadata resistant E2E chat app) started with Golang backend, and Qt as the front-end (targeting x-platform desktop and mobile apps). However they had some issues with Qt, and have been transitioning to Flutter. Their technical blog discusses their issues and experiences. https://openprivacy.ca/discreet-log https://openprivacy.ca/discreet-log

- theorth 5y agoonly the UI thread is, you can have concurrency and there is a nice library to execute rust code for high efficiency compute
