Build a Flutter Stopwatch App with Custom UI and Animations

Instructors:

Description:

Want to learn how to build completely custom and performant UIs in Flutter?

This practical course will teach you exactly that, by showing you how to create a clone of the iOS stopwatch app from scratch.

As part of this, you'll learn about the foundations of the Flutter animation framework and build a completely custom UI using:

• Ticker and TickerProvider

• Matrix Transforms

• Stack, LayoutBuilder, AspectRatio, and other layout widgets

Would you like to:

• build UIs that render every frame, in sync with the screen refresh rate, and without compromising performance?

• rotate, scale, or translate widgets, and combine them all together to build custom UIs?

Then you've come to the right place.

This course is short and to the point. But it will give you valuable knowledge and a few tricks that will come handy in your future Flutter projects.
