An Easy To Use Mobile First Front-End Framework Solution
With so many different languages to write code in these days, how do you know which is best for you? It’s simple… you choose the most efficient and compatible framework. Insert bootstrap; an open source front end framework for fast web development.
Bootstrap provides tons of tools to create websites and application UI’s and gives all types of classes for margin and padding, typography, and component classes – which are basically like pre-made templates for things like alerts, progress bars etc. Also included are built-in Javascript widgets and plugins supported by an easy to use ‘mobile first’ responsive grid system. Now here’s catch… to do what you can with Bootstrap from scratch with pure HTML and CSS you are looking at a significant time investment. Bootstrap makes it easy.
The undisputed advantages of Bootstrap are what set the language apart as one of the most efficient front-end frameworks on the web.
- Browser Compatibility, this is a huge one. Your own custom CSS may not look right in all browsers, but Bootstrap has basically been tailored to be completely compatible on all modern browsers.
- Good for devs that lack design/UI skills. Maybe your a back-end server side programmer and not the best with creating user interfaces and design, stuff like that. Bootstrap is the perfect fit for that.
- Responsive layouts. Responsive by nature so you don’t have to write a bunch of media queries. you can simply use the grid and you have a responsive website.
Grid System
One of the most important parts of bootstrap framework is the grid system. The grid system really allows us to really align things easily on an application or website and allow it to be automatically responsive. We can set different column sizes for different screen sizes or widths. The grid system is particularly effective because it allows you to create a grid inside of a grid to format a layout of any size.
Bootstrap 4 Evolution
The entire architecture of Bootstrap 4 has been changed as it now uses flexbox (grid system) and has now implemented the XL class for extra large screen sizes which are sizes 1,200 px and up. Since wide screen monitors are becoming popular this is a nice addition to the framework. Bootstrap 4 has also introduced cards which have basically replaced panels and wells in version 3. they can be formatted in all kinds of ways so that you can display your content inside of cards.
