Preface

Twitter Bootstrap, known simply as Bootstrap, is the leading open source CSS/HTML and JavaScript framework on the Internet. Shortly after its launch, it was the most popular project on GitHub. It is so popular that Microsoft announced at their Build 2013 conference that all the web app project templates in Visual Studio 2013 will use Twitter Bootstrap by default.

One of the main reasons Bootstrap is so prevalent is that it allows developers, many of whom are notoriously bad at user interface design, to build aesthetically pleasing sites with a relatively small amount of effort. Bootstrap also offers a rich ecosystem of free and commercial templates, third-party components, tools, and an active and helpful community.

Using CSS Frameworks and Bootstrap in particular with ASP.NET MVC is a natural fit. Bootstrap takes care of the typography, form layouts, and user interface components, which allows the developer to focus on what they are good at – writing code.  This aspect is particularly valuable for smaller development companies who do not necessarily have an in-house designer.

.NET Core is a new and exciting framework written from the ground up. It can be used to develop a variety of applications, not just web applications. It promises the ability to target different platform, such as Linux and Mac as well as smaller deployment footprints. ASP.NET Core has been built upon the .NET Core and is a rewrite of the ASP.NET platform .NET developers have known for many years.
