Making a Style Statement

In the previous chapter, we showed you the first glimpse of MyPhoto, the Bootstrap website, that we will build up throughout the following chapters. Now it is time to get our hands dirty and actually start building the first section of this website. We will begin with the first pass at an element of the Services section that presents the list of print sizes available to order. The page will be constructed using a grid that we will build using Bootstrap's grid system. We will then create image elements within the grid system, apply image modifiers to them, and leverage Bootstrap's utility classes to create visual indicators and optimized layouts specific to different display resolutions.

By the end of this chapter, through code examples and studying the Bootstrap source code, you will have gained a deep understanding of the following:

C'est le livre que j'attendais, commencé à pratiquer le projet de site web proposé par l'auteur pour enseigner Bootstrap 4. C'est une pédagogie intéressante.

Good for someone wishing to extend their general knowledge and consolidate on concepts they may not be sure about. Building a website as a teaching tool is overused and it would have been better to use smaller 'CODEPEN' Type examples of varying complexity to explain how things work and when to use them, the book would then be worth the asking price. The most annoying feature is the way text is obscured by large black circular icons, supposedly to draw attention to important concepts. It does not work and has the opposite effect as it makes the text very difficult to read.

I was hoping for this ebook to be a searchable reference as I tried to do various tasks in Bootstrap. Unfortunately very little of the information was in the book. I found better information from the official bootstrap documentation site.

Ben Lanning Mar 31, 2018

I was very disappointed in this book for two reasons.First, the quality of the ebook itself was quite low. Little to no effort had been made to ensure that the layout was correct after it was converted to the kindle format and many of the code blocks and images were very difficult to take advantage of due to their low quality, being overwritten by other content, or sloppy layout.And second, the actual content of the book was extremely lacking. I am primarily a hobbyist programmer, but have successfully taught myself a number of new languages and tech stacks as I needed them for a project. As a result I rely heavily on the official documentation of any given project or language. As a result I was very disappointed to find that the content of this book was mostly fluff and that it was, in almost every case, less helpful and informative than the actual bootstrap website with regard to layout help, examples, use cases, code snippets, and even general advice on planning and designing a web page. For a book titled "Mastering Bootstrap 4" I fully expected there to be more in depth and detailed information than I can find for free on the project website in about five minutes.
