Learning Flutter

So, I’m wrestling with learning #flutter, you know old dog new tricks. I’ve got an idea for an app that I want to be able to run in a variety of places and flutter is supposed to do that. So for the heck of it I decided to go to #chatgpt to see what kind of help I could get.

First I created an empty flutter app using “Flutter: New Project” in the Visual Studio code Command Palette. This way I would have a starter main.dart and all the rest of the required stuff to work with.

So then I went to ChatGPT and asked “write a flutter framework with 3 columns, the center column has 3 rows” Flutter is highly nested and I get confused easily with all the levels. ChatGPT rather quickly created code for me to replace the code in my main.dart file.

Here is what I got.

Hmmm. I’m a little stunned but it is an interesting place to start and it gives me some code to learn from.
