socialnetwork_flutter

This is a project for the bachelor Thesis at the Bacheleror Degree in Computer Science at University of Camerino.

This project is developed in Dart with Flutter and using the FireBase platform

Description

Creation of an App using specific Google services for the development of Mobile Applications.

Aims:

1. Evaluation and use of the Flutter Framework
2. Evaluation and use of the Dart programming language (required for Flutter)
3. Evaluation and use of the Firebase platform (such as Cloud and DataBase for data persistence)
4. Development of a working mobile application that uses the proposed technologies

In order to evaluate the use of these technologies, the idea is to develop a Social Network where users can interact with photos shared by other users. Since the architecture of the application are very complex, the project is to create a stable application with basic functionality, which can be extended outside the Thesis for future developments.

The focus of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness and advantages in using the google technologies for the creation of a mobile application.

The application allows users to:

• Register
• Log-in
• Look at the Home Page (feed of the following users)
