Adam Barth discusses the origins of Flutter, its design choices, and how features like stateful hot reload were developed.
Flutter is a new mobile app SDK to help developers and designers build modern mobile apps for iOS and Android. Adam is a co-founder of the Flutter project. Prior to starting Flutter, he was a top contributor to the open-source WebKit and Blink web rendering engines. He co-invented HTTP Strict Transport Security and wrote several Internet standards, including RFC 6265 (HTTP Cookies), RFC 6454 (The Web Origin Concept), and RFC 6797 (HTTP Strict Transport Security) at IETF and Content Security Policy 1.0 at W3C.
