Preface

The development of graphical user interfaces has a long history, resulting in a complicated landscape today. There are many different ways to build applications, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. In this modern world, with so many different devices in our everyday lives, it can seem impossible to reach an entire audience without building many different apps or GUIs. The technologies required are often platform-specific, and many of the technologies that exist have evolved across decades, leaving a legacy that can slow down new developers and experienced teams alike.

In the same way that the Go programming language was designed to make software development easier across all operating systems, the Fyne toolkit aims to empower graphical app creation in a platform-agnostic manner. This definitive guide to building applications with the Fyne toolkit aims to assist software engineers of any experience level in learning the APIs and processes involved. From your first line of Fyne code through to deploying an application to global marketplaces, the samples and screenshots will guide you on each step of the journey.
