Depending on what year you were born in, I think mobile applications tend to excite the most for developers and consumers alike. The power to do things whenever you want wherever you want that used to require (for example):<br><br>1. Booting up your desktop computer<br>2. Logging in<br>3. Connecting to the internet<br>4. Accessing whatever application or website you need<br>5. &#8220;Doing stuff&#8221;<br><br>is incredible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all of the courses at Oregon State University we learn the building blocks and foundation of development, but we rarely get into mobile applications. When the time finally came I wondered how different or difficult it was going to be &#8211; to be honest I was a bit nervous. Then, we were introduced to Flutter. If you haven&#8217;t used Flutter it&#8217;s an extremely intuitive and fun software development kit that makes creating mobile applications a breeze! Coupled with debugging tools and an emulator you can have a simple mobile application template up and running in a matter of moments. It even has a &#8220;hot reload&#8221; functionality that allows you to save  your progress and the app updates without needing to be completely restarted! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m very pleased that I get to build on that course by creating another mobile application in this course. I&#8217;m excited to test what I&#8217;ve learned while having the flexibility to make the application more my own (and my group&#8217;s) as opposed to meeting strict requirement set in the Mobile Development assignments. I would strongly recommend anyone go out and try it for yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who have not taken Oregon State University&#8217;s Mobile Development course (or developed your own mobile application in the past) I highly recommend it.
