Course description

Bootstrap has many reasons to love it. Why? Apart from being a FREE, open-sourced, really powerful, mobile-first responsive front-end framework, it also provides you with quite a lot of value right out of the box – with very little effort. With just a simple knowledge of some of the basic elements of Bootstrap styles, it takes just a small amount of work – typically just adding an CSS class here or there to HTML elements you already have in place to – to truly transform your site in to a professional-looking cleanly designed web application. In this course, we look at what basic CSS classes come with Bootstrap and how to apply them to your site to make it look great. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is, and maybe you’re love affair with this front-end framework will begin too.

Prerequisites
