118: Flutter and cross platform development with GDE Eugenio Marletti - Part 1

In this episode, we dive into one of our most requested topics and highly anticipated ones - Flutter.

To help us understand Flutter in-depth, we talk to Flutter's GDE Eugenio Marletti. In Part 1 of this 2 part series, Eugenio helps us understand what flutter is, why it was created, how it works, some really cool features with Flutter and why an AndroiDev today should really give Flutter a good look.

We got so carried away in conversation, that we were forced to break this episode into two parts. Stay tuned for Part 2.
