    Bootstrap Get Started

    What is Bootstrap?
    Bootstrap is a free front­end framework for faster and
    easier web development
    Bootstrap includes HTML and CSS based design templates
    for typography, forms, buttons, tables, navigation, modals,
    image carousels and many other, as well as optional
    JavaScript plugins
    Bootstrap also gives you the ability to easily create
    responsive designs

    What is Responsive Web Design?

    Responsive web design is about creating web sites
    which automatically adjust themselves to look good
    on all devices, from small phones to large desktops.

    Bootstrap History
    Bootstrap was developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at
    Twitter, and released as an open source product in August 2011
    on GitHub.

    In June 2014 Bootstrap was the No.1 project on GitHub!

    Why Use Bootstrap?


    Advantages of Bootstrap:

    Easy to use: Anybody with just basic knowledge of HTML
    and CSS can start using Bootstrap
    Responsive features: Bootstrap's responsive CSS adjusts
    to phones, tablets, and desktops

    01/07/2016 Bootstrap Get Started

    Mobile­first approach: In Bootstrap 3, mobile­first styles
    are part of the core framework
    Browser compatibility: Bootstrap is compatible with all
    modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer,
    Safari, and Opera)

    Where to Get Bootstrap?


    There are two ways to start using Bootstrap on your own web
    site.

    You can:

    Download Bootstrap from getbootstrap.com
    Include Bootstrap from a CDN

    Downloading Bootstrap
    If you want to download and host Bootstrap yourself, go
    togetbootstrap.com, and follow the instructions there.

    Bootstrap CDN
    If you don't want to download and host Bootstrap yourself, you
    can include it from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

    MaxCDN provides CDN support for Bootstrap's CSS and
    JavaScript. You must also include jQuery:

    MaxCDN:

    <!‐‐ Latest compiled and minified CSS ‐‐>
    <link rel="stylesheet"href="http://maxcdn.bootst
    rapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css
    ">

    <!‐‐ jQuery library ‐‐>
    <scriptsrc="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/lib
    s/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <!‐‐ Latest compiled JavaScript ‐‐>
    <scriptsrc="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/boots
    trap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

    http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_get_started.asp 2/5

    One advantage of using the Bootstrap CDN:
    Many users already have downloaded Bootstrap from
    MaxCDN when visiting another site. As a result, it will
    be loaded from cache when they visit your site,
    which leads to faster loading time. Also, most CDN's
    will make sure that once a user requests a file from
    it, it will be served from the server closest to them,
    which also leads to faster loading time.

    Create First Web Page With


    Bootstrap
    1. Add the HTML5 doctype

    Bootstrap uses HTML elements and CSS properties that require
    the HTML5 doctype.

    Always include the HTML5 doctype at the beginning of the page,
    along with the lang attribute and the correct character set:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf‐8"> 
      </head>
    </html>

    2. Bootstrap 3 is mobile­first

    Bootstrap 3 is designed to be responsive to mobile devices.
    Mobile­first styles are part of the core framework.

    To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming, add the
    following <meta>  tag inside the  <head>  element:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device‐
    width, initial‐scale=1">

    The  width=device­width  part sets the width of the page to follow


    the screen­width of the device (which will vary depending on the
    device).

    http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_get_started.asp 3/5
    01/07/2016 Bootstrap Get Started

    The  initial­scale=1  part sets the initial zoom level when the page


    is first loaded by the browser.

    3. Containers

    Bootstrap also requires a containing element to wrap site
    contents.

    There are two container classes to choose from:

    1. The  .container  class provides a responsive fixed width


    container
    2. The  .container­fluid  class provides a full width container,
    spanning the entire width of the viewport

    Note: Containers are not nestable (you cannot put a container
    inside another container).

    Two Basic Bootstrap Pages


    The following example shows the code for a basic Bootstrap page
    (with a responsive fixed width container):

    Example

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
      <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
      <meta charset="utf‐8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device‐
    width, initial‐scale=1">
