To get started is most of the time the most daunting task so let’s do it together, this is what we will build!
I also have a competition for this one with a total of $175 in Amazon gift cards so make sure to check the video to learn more about that!

The basics
First of we have to first understand two basic concepts which are StatelessWidget and StatefulWidget and I think the most simple way to explain it is to think of a StatelessWidget will just display data and StatefulWidget will display data but with it, it's also possible to update and display new data. In the case of Flutter, we have something called a Widget Tree where these will be used.
And example could be that you have a parent widget which is Stateful and a child widget which is Stateless. In the case where you tell the Stateful one to rebuild the child/children will also rebuild. So always start with a StatelessWidget and convert it to Stateful when you find the need for it.
