Learning: Mobile App Development - via Flutter What is … Flutter? Flutter is a mobile—and web—app development framework powered by the Dart programming language. It is akin to React Native or Ionic, and is built by Google. Dart is akin to JavaScript — but not. Since coming out of beta in December 2018, trends from Stack Overflow and LinkedIn have indicated Flutter has become—and is currently— a well-developed, easy-to-use,  community-driven framework for developing natively compiled apps . It is currently used by a variety of vendors including Square, Sonos, eBay , and of course, Google also uses Flutter to develop some of  its own products such as Google Ads . Flutter 101: The Course Academind ( Udemy; Online Education ) provides over 150 high-quality courses across near two dozen topics, and is devoted to real-life success via online learning.

When the time you specify is up, you'll get an alert offering you the opportunity to stop or snooze. As with my other two browser extensions, Too-Much-Time is not only free, it's open source.

In an attempt to spice up a navigation system I'm working on, I took to CodePen to experiment with some CSS-based 3D books on a shelf. Although I believe the books turned out pretty good, I dashed the effort in lieu of a more simplistic approach. That aside, figured I would share the books I came up with, primarily because web development projects are fun to share. Development Phases Bad Shelves Good Shelves Narrower Shelves Shelves with Taller Books (latest/most developed) Sources The base for this development effort was in part thanks to Intro to CSS 3D Transforms by David DeSandro . Although I completely overhauled and applied all types of modifications, David's examples provided the initial insights. Gradient lines for the edged faces on books is thanks to moz://a's MDN web docs . I originally tried a pseudo :after class for the shelf, but due to perspective incompatibilities, I ended up only using this for the soft blur between
