@karma but I am reading the documentation. My point is the documentation is not good
-
@Programmatic93 maybe video tutorials?
-
@karma again, the tutorials provided do not provide enough information to build a more sophisticated app. Building the app itself is simple. Widgets are cool. Architecting is a whole nother ball game.
-
@Programmatic93 the tutorials for anything are for quick start, you will have to do some actual reading to get to complex stuff.
-
@mundo03 I am reading. I don't feel like the documentation is all that great is all. It's easy to say "just read", but there's not much direction with it.
-
@Stocken yeah I'm ok. I've got it figured out. No need to pay for a udemy course that's just going to tell me to use redux.
-
@Programmatic93 Dude but you would figure it out if you actually read the documentation. Are you an idiot ?
Triggering... Right ? 😆 Despite you mentioning that you've already done so and just have trouble with the documentation being bad.
Why use flutter though ? Are you developing some kind of sample for fuschia ? Isn't the basic Java Android stack sufficient for regular apps ? -
@TheAnimatrix I'm having a hard time understanding if you're calling me an idiot and suggesting to read the documentation, or if you genuinely are empathising with my frustration by saying "just read the documentation" responses are triggering.
Why not just use Java/Android? Flutter is write once, run on iOS/Android. I can't write a java/Android app without also writing an iOS application. Yes I could use react native or one of the other frameworks but this is Google's and they have inside knowledge of what Android is doing before they do it. The others don't. It'll be the first one to get updates. -
@TheAnimatrix I have faith it will get better. I actually found a GitHub issue about documentation that has a few internal flutter devs on it and left some feedback. I was able to implement what I needed. But man was that a fucking hurdle. I spent like 2 days researching architecture and state containers. I refuse to use redux.
Holy fuck is learning new frameworks frustrating.
I'm trying to setup a simple fucking flutter app and all their tutorials are basic shit with no auth/complex routing.
Any feature of flutter that's not in a tutorial has absolute shit documentation with 0 examples on how to use it.
Material app has like 20 properties and if you click on something like on generate there is shit for knowing what the fuck it's expecting.
Stackoverflow has a ton a code but that's just it, code. I have absolutely no idea how they generate the code they have from the documentation on the site. They must have been following flutter from the start.
Ahhhhh! ðŸ˜
