  [Flutter Tips] Remove the "DEBUG" banner of your Flutter app When you start coding a new application with Flutter, you  will surely see a banner with "Debug" text displayed on the top right corner of your app. To remove it, you will need to set the debugShowCheckedModeBanner property of the MaterialApp (or CupertinoApp ) widget to false . 🟢Here’s an example on how to do it: import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', debugShowCheckedModeBanner : false, // This removes the debug banner home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('No Debug Banner'), ), body: Center( child: Text('Hello, World!'), ), ), ); } } > debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false : This line ensures that the debug ban

  GraphQL vs REST: A Comparative Analysis Introduction In the world of web development, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are essential for enabling communication between different software systems. The two dominant paradigms for building APIs are REST (Representational State Transfer) and GraphQL. While REST has been the industry standard for many years, GraphQL is rapidly gaining traction as a more flexible and efficient alternative. This article will compare the two technologies, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. REST: Overview and Characteristics REST is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It relies on stateless, client-server communication, typically over HTTP, and uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. RESTful APIs expose resources (e.g., users, posts, comments) as URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) and use HTTP status codes to indicate the result of operations

  What is GraphQL? GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries. It is designed to give clients exactly the data they need and nothing more. Unlike traditional REST APIs, which often require multiple requests to fetch data from different endpoints, GraphQL allows you to retrieve all necessary data in a single, structured query. (See an example of using GraphQL below) Origin of GraphQL GraphQL was developed by Facebook in 2012 to meet the needs of its mobile applications, which required a more efficient way to fetch and manipulate data. In 2015, Facebook open-sourced GraphQL, allowing the developer community to benefit from this revolutionary technology. Since then, GraphQL has grown in popularity and is now used by many large companies, including GitHub, Shopify, and Twitter. Tools to Use with GraphQL To get started with GraphQL, here are some popular tools and libraries that can help: GraphQL.js : The reference implementation for building GraphQL serv

Mobile applications need wallpapers My mobile applications Actually, I'm developing some Flutter mobile applications. If you have already designed mobile apps, you must know that at some point, you will need picture assets and more specifically, background images. All that in order to give your application a specific feeling... Original wallpapers In my daily mission of creating applications, I take regularly some time to design wallpapers. Now, with AI tools (and a lot of imagination), you can design original content. So I propose to you to discover some of my creations. For instance I tried to design specific atmosphere inspired by Rick & Morty universe. I give you access to a pack of wallpapers, that you can download for free if you have subscribed to my "buymeACoffee.com" account. ✅Download: Original Wallpaper pack (on BuyMeACoffee.com) 👀You can have a preview of all wallpapers on Youtube: Wallpapers pack presentation (Youtube) Tell me what you think, and if you
