How I Got Started with Flutter
Like many developers, I started with the desire to build something I could *actually use*. I didn’t have a formal CS background — just curiosity and a passion for great design. Flutter caught my eye because of its cross-platform promise and beautiful UI capabilities.
📦 My First Tools
I downloaded Visual Studio Code, installed Flutter SDK, and followed the official getting started guide. It was refreshing to see how quickly I could spin up a working app.
flutter create my_first_app
cd my_first_app
flutter run
🎯 The "Aha" Moment
The moment I saw my changes reflect instantly on the emulator (thanks, hot reload!), I was hooked. I realized that Flutter was not only capable — it was fun.
