You may use any IDE of your choice, but some popular ones that support Flutter are Android Studio, VS Code, and IntelliJ IDEA. Up-to-date details for installation can always be viewed at the official website: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
The best way to read this book is consecutively, chapter by chapter, as we start with the basics and build on top of the previous chapter with every step. That said, you may still find individual chapters useful if you’re searching for specific topics – just remember they are part of the bigger project.
