| MAKING YOUR FLUTTER APPS SHINE WITH SHADERS by Raouf Rahiche | Flutter has supported fragment shaders for approximately a year, yet their usage remains relatively low. This lack of adoption largely stems from the difficulty of getting started and the initial challenge of identifying relevant use-cases. In this talk, we will delve into the world of shaders. By exploring their various applications and implementing some engaging, practical features, we aim to illuminate their potential and make them more accessible to developers. |

| USING THE PLATFORM - WHY YOU DON'T NEED ANY WEB FRAMEWORKS IN 2023 by Akash Joshi | After my experience working with multiple companies over the past few years, and building several open-source projects - I've realised that most solutions for building websites are over-engineered, and the web platform already provides us with a lot of fundamentals for deploying apps to the web, and also mobile.
Table of Contents:
1. What is the platform?
2. Basics - Replacing jQuery
3. Getting device data - location, battery, accelerometer, etc on the web
4. Web Components - no need for JS frameworks
5. PWAs and TWAs - how to deploy web apps to the app store |
| EXPLORING ML MODEL APPLICATION ON LIVE IMAGE STREAMS IN FLUTTER: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE by Vadym Pinchuk | This topic focuses on the practical implementation of machine learning (ML) models on live image streams using the Flutter framework. We will delve into the existing solution with the TensorFlowLite (TFLite) plugin, which allows ML model application for object detection on image. By examining the current state of the technology, we will assess the pros and cons of this approach and discuss potential applications.
Furthermore, we will explore the future prospects enabled by the upcoming MediaPipe plugin, an anticipated framework by Google. MediaPipe facilitates on-device ML by providing powerful real-time processing and analysis of live video streams in Flutter applications. It handles the underlying logic with native implementations for Android and iOS platforms, what will make it very performant, comparing to current state.
Throughout the session, attendees will gain insights into the opportunities presented by ML on live image streams in Flutter development. By understanding the past, current state, and future possibilities, developers will be equipped to harness the full potential of ML model integration in Flutter for object detection and image stream processing applications. |

| JETPACK COMPOSE FOR MAPS by Darryl Bayliss | Jetpack Compose is taking the Android development world by storm. With plenty of apps dedicated to showing information via maps, how does Jetpack Compose provide support?
This session aims to give attendees interested in mapping solutions the answer to that question in ~25 minutes, by exploring the Google Maps Compose Library, how it works in conjunction with acquiring permissions to make the most of the map and what benefits it provides over the old View based mapping approach.
The structure of the session would be as follows:
1. A brief recap of the mapping space, what apps are in the space and some metrics to show the reliance people have on mapping apps
2. A brief recap of Jetpack Compose, and the benefits it brings via it's Declarative UI approach.
3. A look into how the Maps Compose Library from Google works, and what advantages it brings.
4. Showing best practices using the Maps Compose Library, in collaboration with acquring the correct permissions for the map to function
5. A summary of the topic, to recap key points and give attendees a chance to ask questions. |
| WASM AND THE NEW PERKS OF FLUTTER WEB by Djamaleddine Belilet | WASM is a new technology that allows developers to compile code from other languages, such as C++ and Rust, to a format that can be run in the browser to deliver high-performance web applications run in a secure sandbox.
WebAssembly (WASM) is emerging into the Flutter ecosystem and it will become increasingly popular in the future.
In this session, we will discuss the benefits of using WASM to build high-performance web applications as well as some of the challenges of using WASM, such as the lack of mature tooling and the small community of developers who are currently using the technology.
By the end of this talk, we will have gained a clear understanding of how to incorporate WebAssembly (WASM) into Flutter web apps, its benefits and pitfalls, as well as some of the new features that have been released with Flutter (Web) 3.10. |
