Let's read the Flutter source code

In this stream, we look at the source code for Flutter, Google's multi-platform app framework.

Following the themes of the React video (linked below), we focus on the algorithms that drive and schedule rendering.

Hi, do you have any plans for a tutorial with general tips on how to read source code from scratch. I'm a student and watching your videos is very informative but I still don't have the knowledge or the experience to replicate what you do.
