   • Use pub get to install packages or pub upgrade to update them.
   • Understand transitive dependencies and how to handle version conflicts.
3. Building a Weather App in Dart:
   • Integrate external APIs like OpenWeatherMap for fetching weather data.
   • Use package like http for making web requests or dio for more advanced needs.
   • Handle API responses, parse JSON data, and display it in a user-friendly manner.
4. Installing Flutter:
   • Follow the official Flutter installation guides for Windows and macOS.
   • Set up your development environment with Flutter SDK, Android Studio, or Visual Studio Code.
5. Flutter Basics:
   • Understand the difference between StatelessWidget and StatefulWidget.
   • Learn about intrinsic widgets like Text, Image, Icon, and layout containers like Scaffold.
6. Flutter Layout Widgets:

   • Understand positioning with Positioned within a Stack.
   • Use ListView, GridView, and SingleChildScrollView for scrollable content.
7. Building a Basic Profile UI:
   • Design and implement a simple profile screen.
   • Practice using text, images, forms, and buttons.
8. Running a Flutter App:
   • Learn how to run your app on emulators or physical Android and iOS devices.
9. Flutter Navigation:
   • Implement basic navigation between screens using Navigator.push() and Navigator.pop().
   • Set up named routes for multi-screen apps, including dynamic route generation.
10. Creating Multi-Screen Apps:
    • Structure your app with multiple screens for login, dashboard, etc.
    • Use the RouteObserver to listen to route changes.
11. Forms in Flutter:
    • Learn how to create forms using Form, TextField, and validation with Validator.
    • Handle form submission and state restoration on form editing.
12. State Management in Flutter:
    • Use setState() to update UI when data changes.
    • Explore alternative state management solutions like Provider, Riverpod, or BLoC.
13. HTTP Requests and Local Storage:
    • Make network requests using the http package.
    • Store data locally with SharedPreferences for Flutter apps.
14. Animations in Flutter:
    • Implement implicit (animated widgets) and explicit (animation controllers) animations.
15. Theming in Flutter:
    • Customize the theme of your app using ThemeData.
    • Apply styles and themes across your app for a consistent look.
16. Firebase Integration:
    • Set up Firebase for authentication, database storage, and other services.
    • Configure Firebase in your Flutter app for Android and iOS platforms.
17. Firebase App Development:
    • Build features like user authentication with email/password, Facebook, or Google sign-in.
    • Implement real-time updates with Firebase Firestore or Realtime Database.
18. Messaging App Development:
    • Outline the architecture and code details for a chat application.
    • Integrate Firebase Realtime Database or Cloud Firestore for message storage and synchronization.
19. Advanced Flutter Techniques:
    • Implement the BLoC (Business Logic Component) pattern for state management.
    • Set up continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) with GitHub Actions for automated testing and building.
20. Deploying Flutter Apps:
    • Publish your app to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
    • Use Fastlane or similar tools for automating the deployment process.
21. Testing (Optional):
    • Write unit, widget, and integration tests for your app.
    • Use mocking to simulate complex interactions with external services or databases.
22. Performance Optimization:
    • Profile your app to find areas that need optimization.
    • Optimize resource usage (CPU, memory, etc.) and improve the overall performance.
23. Accessibility & Internationalization:
    • Make your app accessible by following accessibility guidelines.
    • Localize content of your app for different regions and languages using intl package.
