This week in Flutter #55: My favorite videos from Google I/O

21 May 2022

Finally, I managed to catch up with the Google I/O videos about Flutter. Here are my favorites.

Create simple, beautiful UI with Flutter with Khanh Nguyen and Rody Davis, mainly because I heavily worked with responsive and adaptive layout in Flutter for the past 5 months.
Learn about Flutter desktop with Craig Labenz and Greg Spencer, because it is about non-layout adaptivity in Flutter.

Which are your favorite videos? Let me know in the comment section below.
