Getting started with Flutter - Breadth+Depth approach

Hey makers,

Would appreciate your word on how to get going fast+strong with flutter to both launch fast, and get strong with the fundamentals.

Background: I'm definitely comfortable with Python and R (datascience background). Okay understanding of the web.

Goals:.

  1. Be able to launch mobile apps pretty fast (obviously will get faster with practice, and probably slower at the beginning).

Specifically: get a super simple downloadable app by the end of this year.

  1. Create strong fundamentals so I can later on work as a flutter dev.

Gameplan: (would appreciate feedback here).

  1. Quickly go over intro materials:
    1.1 Specific flutter materials (depth):
    https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud905/lessons/92a39eec-0c04-4d98-b47f-c884b9cd5a3b/concepts/35329ea0-ef26-4edf-bb85-5d2e9667eed5
    and

1.2 General OOP, patterns, and principles (breadth):
Go through Berkely's CS61B, along with Java Head First.

2.1. Continue to Angela's The Complete Flutter Bootcamp for 2020:

2.2 Start building the app I have in mind in parallel to this course.

I'm assuming this is a bit wide and pretty comprehensive, but I need depth (launch) and breadth (build skills to be able to launch fast and strong multiple times later on).

Many many thanks!

    Just in case anyone wants to tag along - documenting the progress:

    I've started watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0uinJvhNxI, I hope this will be enough to get started. There are some things which are not clear yet, which is how to enable authentication, should I use Google products, I have experience with AWS, hopefully moving to GCP is not a requirement.

      Good luck!
      I can say that the Udacity intro course is not good IMO.
