Evening Meetup: Cross-Platform App Development with Flutter

Building apps that run smoothly on every device no longer requires multiple codebases. In this hands-on evening meetup, our expert Thijs Pirmez will showcase the power and possibilities of one of today’s leading cross-platform frameworks.

Discover how Flutter handles user interface (UI), performance, integration, and deployment. Learn its strengths and weaknesses, see typical use cases, and understand what skills and effort is needed to develop cross-platform applications with Flutter. 

Whether you’re a developer, designer, or tech decision-maker, this session will help you understand what “build once, deploy everywhere” really means - and how to make it work for your next project.

Expect live demos, practical insights, and honest information based on real-world experience.

If you want to go much deeper into Flutter development, check out our masterclass "Start to Flutter", which consists of 8 half-day hands-on sessions and starts on November 24th. We are also planning to have a similar hands-on React workshop series in the 2nd semester.
