So what is this so called Material Design?

Material is a design system created by Google to help teams build high-quality digital experiences for Android, iOS, Flutter, and the web. Material Design is inspired by the physical world and its textures, including how they reflect light and cast shadows. Material surfaces re-imagine the mediums of paper and ink.

We are going to cover Material Design which in this course is primarily focused on Android platform, but the things we learn can also be applied to other platforms as well, with just slight modifications.
