This Chapter will give you a basic understanding of how the Flutter Framework [1] works as a whole. I will showcase the difference of Flutter to other Cross-Platform approaches and how Flutter works under the hood. You will also be introduced to the concepts of State [12] and Flutter’s way of rendering an app as a tree of Widgets [13]. Lastly, you will gain an understanding of how Flutter handles Asynchronous Programming and communication with the Web.
