Flutter & Dart: Complete App Development Course (Udemy.com)

The course is best suited for complete beginners, as it mainly provides a basic introduction to the topic. If you're looking for more in-depth or practical knowledge, you may find similar beginner-level content available on YouTube for free. Personally, I don't think this course offers enough value for the price. Sorry, Paulo—no offense intended. This is just my honest feedback, and I hope it helps improve the course in the future.

A couple of problems with this course in my opinion: 1. There's a lack of exercises. Often enough I would have to come up with my own ideas on how to test my knowledge. 2. Often concepts are used without a full explanation leaving me to do research. This has also lead me to see that the confusing concepts used in some cases are actually not doing anything (like setting a key in a stateless widget with no collections). This is just confusing and unnecessary. 3. Best practices are not used quite often. For example, heights and widths of an image are being hard coded instead of showing concepts to fit various different screen sizes. On the other hand, concepts that are explained in full and offer some exercises are done well. In general, the course is ok if you are not a beginner, because you know what to look up and how to apply best practices. However, if you are a beginner this course could often confuse you and lead to some poor decision making.

In the past I've already put a 5 stars review on this course, writing it was a course worth 10x the price, English isn't my first language and Paulo is so clear it's easy to grasp what he is explaining. This was my first approach to coding and some months after this course I published an app for Android that is now installed on 11 thousands of devices on multiple countries around the world. Of course learning never ends, but this course was definetely a GREAT start.

Yes I particularly found the last videos where Paulo answered questions very useful, as I'd been wondering some of those things myself through the whole course. I feel like I have a great foundation after doing this course. Loved the little personal stories from Paulo, too -- with so much material it's nice to break it up and get to know the instructor a bit outside of just learning to code. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! Lastly, ALL THE VERY BEST WITH THE ARRIVAL OF YOUR DAUGHTER IN 2 MONTHS. Best wishes, Luke

I thought long and hard about it, and I was going to give this course 4 stars. But I am deciding to give it five. There are some pros and some cons. But the Pros are so much greater, that in comparison, even though I am not 100% happy with this course, I am very satisfied with my investment and owe a large portion of my Dart/Flutter knowledge to Paulo. Let's start with the CONS: - Some videos towards the later parts of the series has outdated content. He does try to update, but only a matter of time before some one else's newer course will over run this one. - Way too many ignored student questions. So many videos I wanted to ask a question, but noticed that some people never got an answer from 5+ months ago. And other times I noticed he responded to some one 2 months ago. Very inconsistent with answering important questions. - Too many problems being solved by other students in the comments. Imagine paying for a course, then finding that the code isn't working as intended. You notice multiple people recently running into this problem, and Paulo is no where to be seen, only to have another student figure it out. I don't mind the help, but I do expect the teacher or the course to help me through everything, not other students. I didn't pay for that. - Being good at the content doesn't mean that you will be taught well. He did a great job, as I will touch on in my PROs, but it is very easy to get lost in his course because there is more doing than explaining of why I am doing. (More in the PROs) PROS: - I've purchased multiple Flutter courses on Udemy, and I believe hands down that Paulo's should be everyone's first tutorial. This course is currently the best for beginners. I believe everyone should buy more than one course, but buy this one first. Paulo will give you a great places to start. - The content is rich. He has a very solid and wide range of elements that will help anyone no matter your background start from scratch. Worth the investment. - Paulo may not be an expert teacher, he may not be the best at helping get what he knows into our heads, but he does a wonderful job delivering a well paced course to us. Walking us through the steps, and at a basic pace. He doesn't overwhelm you with too much info, while at the same time, it feels like too much. But with that said, he speaks clearly, and speaks simply. The only downside is getting certain points across, which isn't so bad in comparison. - He gives us some great resources. - His updated videos are good. I am glad to see there was newer content towards the end, I only hope he keeps going. - I have confidence that anyone who finishes this course will have a very solid understanding of Dart/Flutter. Not enough to be an expert, but enough to not get lost. - Worthwhile purchase. Best buy for beginners. (yeah I am repeating myself)

As a mobile apps developer, oftentimes I find myself not diving deep enough to master certain topic that I’ve done before. Sometimes I feel really discouraged for not having a good mentor in my life to guide me along the journey of mobile apps development. I knew a lot of basic knowledge and have gained some experience in iOS development (at least more than normal people will do), I learnt Objective-C, then I learnt Swift, and then I had a chance to learn React Native. However, things have always changed in my life and sometimes I find it helpless for not being able to dive deep enough in one particular topic (say the programming languages alone). Yeah, indeed I learnt a lot of programming languages, but I’m not even close to become mastery in any one particular programming language at all. I have been working in this field for more than two years, but I find myself not even gaining one-year-equivalent experience. This course not only makes me reflect the way I learn mobile applications development, but it also exposes me to so many possibilities in mobile application development (such as how to connect pieces of code together to become one fully functional application and so on). Although it is quite elementary in certain sections, but to the very least, this makes me look back at my past, be able to see how far I’ve been moving. Yes, I still need to keep moving to become a true master. Things always get updated, but the constant here is that, we need to keep pace with all the changes as well. I still can’t forget the night when I had successfully run the Flutter + Firebase code, I almost cried tears of joy. Maybe I’m too dramatic, but that’s the one thing I’ve missed long time ago. Sorry for the long message, but this is really enlightening a new hope for me to keep moving on, keep learning. Mobile application development is indeed the beginning of my career, but I will definitely not give it up as a crucial part of my life. Thank you and well done, Paulo! =D

This course by Paulo is great for the cost, time spent in developing this by the teacher, & overall what you can learn. I spent 4 days straight doing a bootcamp with this course. As a former web designer the course allows me to move ahead & accomplish going beyond the web & start to develop mobile apps for both Android & iOS users. If allowed I did a full video review here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21tiRv96TMo Thank you Paulo & apologize for spelling & saying your name wrong in so many of my videos about your lessons.

I am not a fun of Firebase. This is not even a "database" from the RDBMS perspective, nor from a Graph database perspective. It is a simple collection of key:value pairs and labeling it as "real time" makes this looking mainly like a Mongo DB on steroids. i am not a fan of Mongo DB either. As improvements for this course (like for all other courses teaching UI), I would like to see: - usage of real database even if we need to create a real DB and access it by creating an API. - deployment of the App step by step on Google Play and Apple Store. There is no real world app without real databases, living in real servers. Not sure why all UI instructors wants to make us to believe that data required for real world apps lives somewhere inside our UI, or in a file near by?

This course was really helpful and now, that I've finished it, I can say with confidence that I am able to build an app on my own. The course is very well explained, it touches the most important things you need to know in order to create an app and it is really engaging. I really like that we still get updates and new tutorials and I can't wait to see some more content on Firebase. In my opinion, this is the most complete Flutter course on Udemy and I recommend it to everyone!

The was a great course in order to learn the new flutter framework. I have been following the Google Flutter project for its inception and too find a course on it so early in the flutter lifecycle was great. The instructor does a great job explaining the framework and its components that I feel that it has made it easy to understand especially since I have some background in both Dart and Android programming. Keep up the great work.
