At present #efc23154 this repo is a good start but it does not have any code.
Our objective with any learn-xyz repo is to make it first place a person needs to go for learning that topic. E.g: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-elixir has everything the person needs to start learning Elixir including the syntax/semantics and code examples.

I propose that we:

  • re-work this repo such that all code examples can be run offline provided the reader has the Dart VM installed on their computer OR
  • alternatively if they are using a computer that cannot install Dart (e.g. a Chromebook or iPad), we provide links to examples on Dart Pad so they can run and play with the code online.

As of March 2020, the Google search frequency for "Flutter" has eclipsed "React Native".
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=%2Fg%2F11f03_rzbg,react%20native

The Flutter GitHub repository: https://github.com/flutter/flutter has more Starts:
flutter-stars-languages
additionally 99.2% of the code is written in Dart which means anyone who knows Dart can read, understand, debug and contribute to it.

By contrast React Native https://github.com/facebook/react-native has fewer stars:
react-native-stars-languages
And the project is written in 5 programming languages! So anyone wanting to contribute a truly cross-platform UI feature needs to know at least JavaScript, Java and Objective-C.

It's a no-brainer to Learn Dart and Flutter.
Flutter will inevitably win the Cross-platform Native Mobile App "war".
