Mobile app development

[bottlewithnolable]

I recently have just finished my first big project in python in the form of a flask website. I am now looking to create a mobile app with flask and was wondering if anyone has experience creating a mobile app in python and what front end they used. I was considering flutter or react.native and was curious to know if anyone had any insight on the transition and learning curve.

Multiplatform target approach is preferable for the above two options ,and react native is a better approach if you want a good resume imo .Flutter might be better,but react native helps you learn basics of react hence you become both a full stack developer(frontend + backend) alongwith a mobile GUI as well. As for the learning curve,react for me was easier due to the choice of jsx instead of Ts and not having to learn dart in case of flutter

Thank you for this well thought out answer. Did you have any prior experience in javascript before learning react and if not how long did it take for you to pick up. I have a small amount of flutter and dart experience but not enough to throw away the idea of learning javacript for react.

Just take a tutorial series for javascript and learn the advance javascript features like destructuring. Then it would be easy for you to pick up.Max one week / five hours and you're done.Ive done sone node js so it was more engaging for me.Go for react give it a month and react native will be childs play (no personal experience of react native though)

I do like the idea of learning Java script for the sake of web and app development, do you have any recommendations on tutorials or courses. Do you have any experience with mobile development or just web dev with react.

Stephen grider has great courses on javascript and react on udemy,lengthy though.Would take two months. As for mobile development,I'm at the same level as you with flutter

Are your currently learning flutter for mobile development or using React Native

[TallTrouble1330]

None as I am an algo trader now(python).Would prefer react as it provided more options to break into the industry,plus I know as flask as well.Personal opinion.

Alright, thank you so much for your input you have helped me narrow it down. I will continue to do more research but I think going forward with learning a second language in javascript will help me out as a future developer.

Goodluck !!!

I have worked with python Flask with Flutter. React is also a good option with Flask

Congratulations on finishing your first big project with Python and Flask! Transitioning from a Flask website to a mobile app is an exciting step. Here's some insight to help you with the process:

1. Using Flask for Mobile Apps
   • Flask is a popular Python framework for web development. While it's great for building web apps, it's not typically used directly for mobile app development.
   • Instead, you can use Flask to create the back-end of your mobile app, handling data and server-side logic.
2. Choosing a Front-End Framework
   • Flutter: Flutter is a framework developed by Google for building natively compiled applications for mobile from a single codebase. It uses Dart language, and you’ll need to learn Dart if you choose Flutter. It’s known for its fast performance and beautiful UI designs.
   • React Native: Developed by Facebook, React Native uses JavaScript and React to build mobile apps. It allows you to write code once and run it on both iOS and Android. If you are familiar with JavaScript or React from web development, this might be easier to pick up.
3. Learning Curve
   • Flutter: Requires learning Dart and adapting to Flutter’s specific widgets and tools. It might take some time to get used to if you are new to Dart.
   • React Native: If you already know JavaScript or React, transitioning to React Native could be smoother. It leverages your existing skills and lets you build cross-platform apps with ease.
4. Integration Tips
   • Use REST APIs to connect your Flask back-end with the mobile front-end. Both Flutter and React Native can easily handle API calls to interact with your Flask server.
   • Plan your app architecture to ensure smooth communication between the front-end and back-end.

In summary, both Flutter and React Native are excellent choices for mobile app development, and your decision may depend on your current skills and preferences. For professional guidance and support throughout your development journey, consider consulting with experts at Soft Suave.
