Off topic, but looking at the curriculum of the course and the more I read about native development, the more I love Flutter. There are so many barriers to entry for native development, to develop and publish a simple app is such a complex procedure that I respect anyone even trying to go Native first without any prior knowledge.

Flutter on the other hand, is a pure joy. Almost anything you need UI-wise is prepared, and you can just customize it the way you want (try implementing a ListView in native vs Flutter). For the big majority of today's apps native is just not neccessary, most apps don't need bluetooth access or some other specific service.

Especially from the business side, Flutter is way better. You need to maintain only one codebase which results in less need for resources. And you are way faster, you can iterate like crazy and push out an MVP...

And when stable Flutter Web arrived, it is game over...
