Using Dart and Flutter in App Development

Dart and Flutter have emerged as a powerful duo in the modern programming landscape, offering a streamlined path to building high-performance applications across mobile, web, and desktop — all from a single codebase. Flutter’s native performance and Dart’s developer-friendly syntax have made them especially popular in mobile banking and financial applications. While Dart adoption continues to grow globally, we are seeing increased usage outside of North America, particularly among large enterprises focused on cross-platform delivery at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between pubspec.yaml and pubspec.lock?

pubspec.yaml defines which packages your app depends on. pubspec.lock captures the exact versions of those dependencies to ensure consistent builds and avoid unexpected updates.

Where can I find Dart and Flutter packages?

The official repository is pub.dev, which hosts verified packages for use with Dart and Flutter applications

Does Dart replace JavaScript?

No. Dart doesn’t replace JavaScript but offers an alternative for cross-platform mobile development. It has gained popularity over React Native for many mobile-first applications due to Flutter’s performance and simplicity.
