Flutter in Action
summary
Builds a small production-style book browser that fetches Google Books JSON over HTTP, renders it with widgets into a scrolling list, and opens links with a package. Uses Visual Studio Code, Flutter’s hot reload, ListTile + ListView and FutureBuilder for async network loading, NetworkImage for thumbnails and the URL launcher package for links. Demonstrates ~30 lines to go from blank to networked list, error handling for missing thumbnails, APK debug vs release sizes (≈35 MB debug, ≈4.4 MB release), and notes major apps (AdWords, Alibaba 250M devices) running Flutter.
