Thanks for this!

From early this year I've been trying to get into web development but I have to admit it's been really unfulfilling. Before that I was coding mostly in C# and C++.

Recently I took a stab at Dart and I've had more fun than I've ever had while using Javascript, so I decided to ditch the web and focus on Flutter for now. This series looks like it'll be helpful to me.

Thanks again!

I'm curious why do you find it unfulfilling? Is it because the landscape is so fragmented and without clear guidelines? If so, I can relate to that.

Thanks for the kind words. With the series I've been trying to fill the gap with the existing tutorials as they usually do not focus on the architecture that much.

Yeah exactly that, I constantly felt lost when trying to learn, and even after completing a course I'd feel like I'd accomplished little. Whenever I finished a project I'd just be relieved that I wasn't working on it anymore haha.

App development is what lured me into programming so I decided I'd get back to it. I did web development because I thought it had a more secure future than mobile, kinda still do to be honest, but in the end I didn't like it much. I'd rather do something that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out.

Your videos are amazing by the way, I've done 5 from the playlist and it was an enjoyable learning experience :)

I agree with Samuel Odundo ... I share the same perspective and Dart is really good, though I am stuck with Javascript as very early on in my development learning phase I had started with Javascript.

Its been a while since I posted this comment. Since then I've learnt Dart and I'm much better at it. And to make things better, I can still do web development with Dart (AngularDart to be exact). I do not regret the choice I made to ditch Javascript. I've still gotten some freelancing jobs that require a little js but in general I've been able to choose my own stack and I choose Dart always.

I am in process of learning Dart too ... and loving it, primarily plan to use it for Flutter. I am not so confident of Dart for web development though, IMHO I think React for front end is a very good choice compared to Angular.

Whats your opinion?
