Building a Health App with Flutter & Django (Part 1) | REST API, BLoC & Clean Architecture

Welcome to Part 1 of our massive series on building a production-ready, full-stack Health Application! In this tutorial, we'll build the entire backend foundation using Django REST Framework and set up the Flutter frontend using Clean Architecture and the BLoC pattern. This isn't just a simple demo; we're building a complex application from scratch, covering everything from custom user models and JWT authentication to email verification and project structure. By the end of this video, you will have a robust Django API and a well-structured Flutter project ready for feature development. 🚀 *Want to master Flutter & Django?
