Announcing New Dart and Flutter Getting Started Experience
Article Summary
Eric Windmill from Flutter's DevRel team just shipped something that could change how 10,000+ developers learn Flutter every month. The new Getting Started experience isn't just another tutorial—it's a complete rethink of developer onboarding.
Flutter has launched a comprehensive learning pathway that spans both Dart and Flutter websites, combining written tutorials, videos, quizzes, and hands-on coding. The experience is designed for developers who are Flutter-curious but haven't written a single line of Dart yet. The team spent months debating the right approach to teaching, ultimately choosing smaller focused apps over one massive project.
Key Takeaways
- Quick install guide lets you try Flutter on web without downloading platform tools
- Four complete apps you build from scratch, designed to avoid frustration points
- Eight videos featuring real Flutter engineers, PMs, and tech writers
- Website migrated to Jaspr, a Dart-based static site generator
- New Learn section separates tutorials from main documentation for easier navigation
Flutter's new Getting Started pathway combines tutorials, videos, quizzes, and four buildable apps to take developers from zero to fundamentals without the usual setup friction.
