Customer Reviews
A good hands-on introduction to Bootstrap
I’m a hobbyist wannabe programmer, and I’ve always wondered how those beautiful, consistent websites worked. Now I understand that a framework such as Bootstrap really does the heavy lifting.
If you want to learn Bootstrap but are feeling somewhat stuck - I’d say this book is a good beginning. The subtitle “Learn Twitter Bootstrap in 2 hours” may be ambitious, but it actually takes about 2 hours to run through the book code excerpts. Typing it by yourself is highly recommended - you’ll find yourself making quite a few mistakes in the beginning - and a lot less by the end of the book.
I also found very important to stick to CodePen HTML code - unfortunately there were mistakes in the book code (Ryan, a more thorough revision is recommended please). Since CodePen parses HTML code in its "page preview’, it can only work if it’s correct.
Buy the book. You’ll invest a few bucks, a couple of hours of your time… And learn something quite useful if you’re on to web programming.
So practical!
This book is the fastest way to make practical sense of Bootstrap and start developing!
