Study Notes
Bootstrap Basics
- Bootstrap is a collection of prewritten HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that can be referenced using class names.
- Bootstrap allows for:
- Layouts: Define web page content and elements in a grid pattern.
- Components: Use existing buttons, menus, and icons that have been tested on hundreds of millions of users.
- Responsiveness: Ensures that the website appears properly on different screen sizes (phones, tablets, desktops, and large desktops).
- Cross-browser compatibility: Ensures consistent rendering across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc.).
Grid System
- Bootstrap divides the screen into a grid system of 12 equally sized columns.
- Columns follow these rules:
- Columns must sum to a width of 12 columns.
- Columns can contain content or spaces.
Creating Layouts
- Three options for creating layouts:
- Code yourself: Write code to create a custom layout.
- Use a Bootstrap editor: Drag and drop components to generate Bootstrap code.
