Using Bootstrap documentation
Bootstrap: Introduction
Bootstrap is a library of CSS and JavaScript code that you can combine to quickly build visually appealing websites.
Modern web development is all about components. Small pieces of reusable code that allow you to build websites quickly. Bootstrap comes with multiple components for very fast construction of multiple components, or parts of components.
Another important aspect of modern development is responsive grids which allow web pages to adapt their layout and content depending on the device in which they are viewed. Bootstrap comes with a pre-made set of CSS rules for building a responsive grid.
Bootstrap is very popular among developers as it saves development time and provides a way for developers to build visually appealing prototypes and websites.
Bootstrap comes with detailed documentation) on setting up and using the features available in its library.
Other CSS frameworks and libraries
Foundation
Foundation is a framework for building user interfaces similar to Bootstrap. It is used by many large companies such as Pixar, Polar and Sonos. One prominent feature of Foundation is that it can be used to style content for sending via email.
Pure.css
Pure.css is another library for building user interfaces. While it doesn’t have as many features as Bootstrap, it is designed to be minimal in file size. Smaller file sizes improve loading times for web pages as there is less data to transfer from the web server. If your next project is focused on minimal loading time, this library is worth considering.
Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS is a CSS framework that uses a utility-based approach for its CSS rules. This means that the framework provides many CSS classes with a single purpose. For example, the CSS class pt-6 sets the padding-top CSS property to 6 pixels. This means that you can be precise in applying styling to your HTML without writing CSS.
UIKit
UIKit is a lightweight CSS framework featuring a small set of responsive components. Its simple design allows developers to easily customize the style rules and visuals.
MVP.css
MVP.css is a small CSS library that automatically styles HTML elements without needing to apply CSS classes to them. The library aims to allow a developer to quickly prototype a user interface without worrying about the final design, while still being visually appealing. MVP comes from the technical term Minimal Viable Product, a product with sufficient features to demo to customers or other business stakeholders.
