Bootstrap

- [Instructor] Okay, so now we're in the home stretch,…let's talk about Bootstrap Basics.…Bootstrap was released in 2011…and it's a collection of CSS plus JavaScript libraries…that speed up web development…and essentially what it does…is it provides top-level containers…and by containers I mean a div and a class…that surrounds the entire web page…that defines whether the web page…is a fixed width or what's called a fluid width…and in a fluid width, when you resize the browser,…the content also grows and shrinks,…whereas with a fixed width,…even when you increase and decrease the width…of the browser, the web page stays the same size…right in the center of the browser.…

It also provides a variety of time saving classes…that can be applied to various tags…and those classes will either have an impact…of styling or something cosmetic…or something functional or both.…Bootstrap also provides lots of icons…and a wide variety of styling features…that make web pages just look better.…It also facilitates what's called a responsive design…
