Bootcamp
A two-week sprint to be productive in Flutter - from widgets to state to release.
Bootcamp plan
EXAMPLE
# Flutter bootcamp - 10 working days Day 1 - Tooling: Flutter SDK, devices, hot reload, devtools. Day 2 - Widgets: Stateless, Stateful, MaterialApp, Scaffold, Theme. Day 3 - Layout: Column, Row, Flex, Expanded, ConstrainedBox, LayoutBuilder. Day 4 - Lists + scrolling: ListView.builder, SliverList, CustomScrollView. Day 5 - State: setState, InheritedWidget, Provider, Riverpod. Weekend project: a list-detail app with a fake API. Day 6 - Navigation: go_router, deep links, guards. Day 7 - Forms + validation: TextFormField, FormState, Bloc for forms. Day 8 - Persistence: shared_preferences, sqflite, drift. Day 9 - Networking: dio, retry, interceptors, code generation with json_serializable. Day 10 - Testing + release: widget tests, integration tests, signed builds for Play + App Store. Capstone: ship a small app to TestFlight or Play internal testing. ## Tips - Pick one state management approach and stick with it for the bootcamp - Use a real device for the last few days - simulators hide perf issues - Read the official Flutter Engage talks once you have a foundation
Why it matters
Flutter rewards staying inside its own conventions. Reach for plugins when you need platform APIs, and write the rest in Dart. The hardest part is choosing your state management; pick one and ship.
