Beginning App Development with Flutter: Create Cross-Platform Mobile Apps
Create iOS and Android apps with Flutter using just one codebase. App development on multiple platforms has historically been difficult and complex. This book breaks down complex concepts and tasks into easily digestible segments with examples, pictures, and hands-on labs with starters and solutions.
In doing so, you'll develop a basic understanding of the Dart programming language; the entire Flutter development toolchain; the differences between stateful and stateless widgets; and a working knowledge of the architecture of apps. All the most important parts of app development with Flutter are covered in this book. Work with themes and styles. Develop custom widgets. Teach your app to respond to gestures like taps, swipes, and pinches. Design, create and control the layout of your app. Create tools to handle form data entry from users. And ultimately create killer multiscreen apps with navigation, menus, and tabs.
Flutter is Google's new framework for creating mobile apps that run on iOS and Android phones both.You had to be a super-developer to write apps for iOS or Android alone. But writing for both? Forget about it! You had to be familiar with Swift, Java/Kotlin, Xcode, Eclipse, and a bunch of other technologies simultaneously. Beginning App Development with Flutter simplifies the entire process.
What You'll Learn
Get the most out of great Flutter widgets
Create custom widgets, both stateless and statefulExercise expert control over your Flutter layoutsMake your app respond to gestures like swiping, pinching and tappingInitiate async Ajax calls to RESTful APIs — including Google Firebase!
Who This Book Is ForDevelopers who have coded in Java, C#, C++, or any similar language. It brings app development within the reach of younger developers, so STEM groups are likely to pick up the technology. Managers, product owners, and business analysts need to understand Flutter's capabilities.

Not worth it.
The code examples are often not explained well enough which can be confusing. The depth is really lacking, often rushing through a topic in just a paragraph or two. Even the flow of the book is bad, often leaving you confused as to why the chapters are arranged the way they are.
Like others have said, there are many free resources online that are just as good if not better, so there is absolutely no need for this book.
I give it two stars simply for the fact that it gave me an idea of what to google for when I want to know how to do something.

Save yourself $50 and read the Google documentation on Flutter. They're pretty much the same experience

It could be better.
Though the book does a very good job in terms of showing different types of widgets and tricks which will be useful in building most of the apps.
It's a very short book, so many topics have been given a miss.
Like State Management, the author just listed different State Management approaches and provided a link to it, no example or anything.
I would have loved it if it followed the project-based approach from the start and introduce the concepts used to build it on the way, just like the Fullstack.io React Native book.
Still a good book.
