Talks on how to apply Behavior-Driven Development when developing Flutter applications.

Of course, all the intricacies of BDD can't be covered in just a couple of talks, but it's a good starting point.

Previously, we talked about DDD in Flutter.

A very cool presentation by Vyacheslav Egorov about the inner workings of Dart.

Using the example of two for-loops, he explains and demonstrates how to determine when the compiler generates suboptimal code and how to deal with it.

Additionally, the speaker showcases how to achieve Hot Reload by integrating Dart with SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose through FFI.

Highly recommended for viewing.

Explanation of how the Dart VM makes our code work from Vyacheslav Egorov's blog.

This article explains the internal structure of the Dart VM:

👉🏻 Isolates and threads
👉🏻 Transformation into Abstract Syntax Tree, IL, and machine code
👉🏻 Common front-end
👉🏻 JIT/AOT compilation and optimizations
👉🏻 And much more

All of this is accompanied by clear diagrams and links to code from the SDK repository.

An article about how "built-in" data types in Dart work "under the hood" by Igor Molchanov

The author dives deep into the language and, using examples from the SDK code, explains how Dart makes it all work across so many platforms.

The comparison between Flutter and React Native is a well-worn and often contentious topic, but this article attracts me with its thoughtful approach and very specific conclusions.

The author compares performance using three case studies:

👉🏻 Scrolling a ListView with 1000 items
👉🏻 A large number of image animations
👉🏻 A large number of Lottie animations

Each case is accompanied by graphs of various metrics (FPS, memory, CPU load, etc.) and a denoscription of what was measured and on which platform.
