LinkedIn’s data shows that Flutter, Android Design, and Angular Material are among the fastest growing skills for software engineers

-

For so many years, Java has been the only officially supported programming language for Android. True, some developers used third-party libraries and different environments, but most of the applications are still made in native Java code. Then we saw the spike in Kotlin usage. Now it’s time for yet another successor, which may actually shake things up. Flutter is an SDK created by Google to make applications more universal and easier to develop. It also happens to be the first-party solution on Google’s next major operating system, Fuchsia. According to the newest statistics from LinkedIn, Flutter is now the fastest growing skill among software engineers.

Honestly, I’m not surprised that Flutter took the market by storm. I noticed a lot of Android developers were leaning to the newest and fanciest frameworks. Android Design sits at the second place of the list. Apparently, developers felt the urge to master the art of Material Design in order to develop beautiful apps. Then come the NUXT.JS framework and CD/CI development, which is not relevant to us. The fifth place is taken by Angular Material – a framework which lets you put the material design into the web.

Alongside the list, LinkedIn also suggests recommended learning courses for the specified subjects. All of them are hosted on the company’s website itself, and you can get them by either buying them or subscribing to LinkedIn Premium (much better deal). If you’re a developer and still haven’t looked into Flutter, you’re missing out on a lot. It offers a cross-platform development environment, as well as widgets and much easier code to help you get the most out of your skills. If you’re thinking about getting started, Google has great documentation here.

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual
