In this course, we’ll get to know the Bootstrap layout framework. It makes it possible to quickly create adaptive websites and web applications. Introduced within Twitter in 2011, it quickly gained popularity among developers of other applications and sites. As it evolved, Bootstrap brought many techniques and components that companies still use today.
Bootstrap uses:
-
Components - a set of ready-made blocks that can be used in projects. These can be custom messages, menus, cards, and so on. The components use a neutral, out-of-the-box design that allows you to quickly start using them within projects.
-
Utilities - a set of classes for specifying CSS styles. These classes are similar in concept to Atomic CSS.
-
One of Bootstrap’s key benefits is the grid. This ready-made grid is used to line up the blocks on the page when using Bootstrap.
The course will cover:
-
Connecting Bootstrap to a project.
-
Using the grid.
-
Working with text, tables, and forms.
-
Creating an adaptive page.
-
The structure of components and utilities.
Practice
Many of the lessons in this course will include a practice section with web view. It’s a good idea to do more than just complete the task. Once you’ve completed the task successfully, try experimenting with the code and the features you’ve learned.
During the course, you’ll come across independent assignments. If necessary, you can use the tasks in the assignments to practice. They’ll also have examples of code that you can take a look at or just study.
Documentation
The Bootstrap framework has some of the best documentation of its kind. You can use it to explore in detail all possible components and utilities. The documentation is always updated quickly with each new version of the framework. We recommend keeping it with you at all times.
GitHub
As well as the documentation, Bootstrap can also be found on GitHub. The framework is open to users. There are many functions and mixins in the code, which you can use to create your own components.
