Description

Bootstrap is a free, open source collection of tools that helps developers create websites or web applications. It provides a faster, easier, and less repetitive solution to designing and building applications. Before Bootstrap’s release, it was necessary to import a variety of libraries into your project that offered different components and features for web interface development. Plus with the increased popularity of smartphones there were lack of libraries that could handle the responsiveness of a web page. Bootstrap‘s existence let it quickly become famous as a front-end framework that offered a wide set of tools from page grid up to components that render a web page in the best possible way for any device. This book will be a tutorial covering various examples as well as step-by-step methodology to create interesting web applications using Bootstrap and to understand the front-end framework to its core. We begin with an introduction to the Bootstrap framework and setting up an environment to build a simple web page. We then cover the grid system, basic Bootstrap components, HTML elements, and customization components for responsive and mobile first development. This is presented by creating a beautiful Landing page sample. You will also learn how to create a web application like Twitter by using the full set of components offered in the framework. Finally, you will learn to create a dashboard web app, using Bootstrap to its finest potential including component customizations, event handling, and external library integration. All these examples are explained step-by-step and in depth, while covering the versions 3 and the most recent version 4 of Bootstrap. So, you will be in the state of the art for front-end development. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the development of a plugin for the framework and Bootstrap’s world which is popular for fast paced front-end web development, used in countless projects all over the world, and now yours.

Dieses Buch beschreibt Schritt für Schritt alle notwendigen Grundlagen zu bootstrap anhand einer Webapplikation. Der dabei erzeugte Quellcode dient zugleich als Nachweis für die Funktionalität dieser wirklich aktuellen Version.Das Buch ist gut geschrieben, man kann alles verstehen und alles zu Hause nachprogrammieren. Es umschreibt beinahe alle wichtigen Komponenten des frameworks und dient als gutes Nachschlagewerk. Weshalb es mir besonders gefällt, ist die perfekte Ausgewogenheit zwischen Theorie und Praxis. Es wird nicht allzu viel Zeit und Aufwand in die trockene Theorie investiert sondern immer entlang eines praktischen Beispiels das nötige Hintergrundwissen erläutert. Es ist eines der wenigen Bücher, bei denen ich froh war, es geholt zu haben...Wirklich, ein Plus!

I am only part-way through the book, and the technical content is okay. Some of the English is poor and requires re-reading in some cases to make sense of it. For example, "It's much easier to set up but comes with some regards." could be better expressed as "It's easier to set up but has some disadvantages." Such distractions are common and could have been avoided with more thorough proof-reading.The book claims to cover Bootstrap 4, but as it is still under development the book can only make educated guesses about it. It is likely that some of the Bootstrap 4 specific information will be wrong because of changes made in the Bootstrap specification before it is formally released.

Das Buch ist prinzipeill gut - aber leider haat sich inzwischen in Bootstrap 4 viel getan. Dadurch sind *viele* CSS-Angaben in den Beispielen falsch und man muß sich die richtigen in der Online-Doku zu Bootstrap heraussuchen.Na ja, die grundlegenden Konzepte sind dennoch gut vermittelt und man lernt durch die Probleme die Online-Doku gut kennen ;-)Schön wäre es, wenn bei den Downloads von Packt-Publishing wenigstens gefixten Code gäbe, ist aber derzeit nicht so.

The book's title is "Bootstrap 4 By Example"... then it proceeds to use Bootstrap 3 throughout the book. The author will mention Bootstrap 4's existence in passing here and there, but Bootstrap 4 is not used. In fact, if you use Bootstrap 4, many of the examples will not work. The code you download with the book doesn't even use Bootstrap 4. As an example, take the sample code for Chapter 6. Swap out their Bootstrap 3.3.5 with the latest Bootstrap 4 Alpha version. The page will not work at all.It's unclear to me why the book is titled "Bootstrap 4 By Example" when the author barely uses Bootstrap 4. Very misleading. If you want to learn Bootstrap 3, then this book is great. But if you're looking to get ahead and learn Bootstrap 4, do not use this book.

The book does highlight how bootstrap can allow you to easily and quickly create good content and page layout however my progress through the book was slow as i was using the latest version of bootstrap 4 and found that most of the examples didnt wokr as there had been significant change in bootstrap 4 such that a number of classes have been renamed so i spent a lot of time reading on line how to do it now in bootstrap 4. this was very disappointing given the book is titled bootstrap 4 by exmaple.
