What is BootStrap?
It a front-end open source toolkit for rapidly developing
web applications. It is a collection of CSS (CSS3) and HTML(HTML5) conventions.
It uses some of the latest browser techniques to provide you
with stylish typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation and
everything else you need in a super tiny (only 6k with gzip) resource.
Technologies used in
it?
HTML/HTML5, CSS/CSS3, jQuery (but not limited to these J )
- By nerds, for nerds! Built at Twitter by @mdo and @fat, Bootstrap utilizes LESS CSS, is compiled via Node, and is managed through GitHub to help nerds do awesome stuff on the web.
- Made for everyone! Bootstrap was made to not only look and behave great in the latest desktop browsers (as well as IE7!), but in tablet and smartphone browsers via responsive CSS as well.
- Packed with features! A 12-column responsive grid, dozens of components, javascript plugins, typography, form controls, and even a web-based Customizer to make Bootstrap your own
Benefits?
- A clean and uniform solution to the most common, everyday interface tasks developers come across
- Light weight, Easy & faster development
- Well tested across OSs & Browsers ( ie6 users please excuse J )
