The Widgets

In this lesson, we will learn about widgets, which are the fundamental building blocks of a Flutter app. We’ll learn how to make a widget and use it in our app.

Tip: Remember classes and objects we practiced about? Widgets are just that, classes and we create objects to use them in our app to build our UI.
