The goal of this chapter was to introduce you to Bootstrap 4, and explain the following things to you:
- What Bootstrap has to offer.
- Why you should use Bootstrap.
- How to get started using Bootstrap.Â
As such, you should now understand that Bootstrap can assist developers in building the layout of a page, structuring and styling its contents as well as how to "bootstrap" a simple HTML page.
During the wider course of this discussion, we also highlighted and explained some important concepts in web development, such as typographic units of measurement or the definition, purpose, and justification for the use of Content Delivery Networks.
Last but not least, we introduced you to our sample project—MyPhoto—which sets the scene for the remainder of the book, as we will use it to illustrate just how to use Bootstrap in order to develop a modern website.
Now, let's move on to Chapter 2, Making a Style Statement, so that we can introduce you to the Bootstrap grid system by building a general layout for the first page of our sample project
