Preface

In 2011, Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton were working at Twitter on a number of projects. The two creators of the Bootstrap framework needed a way to achieve consistency across them all. The solution they developed was the Bootstrap CSS framework. Over time, more developers came on board and the project quickly became the most popular repository on GitHub. As time has passed, the framework has become the backbone of websites and web applications across the Internet. Other companies have tried to emulate their success by creating their own internal frameworks, but Bootstrap still remains the gold standard of open source CSS frameworks.

Bootstrap provides developers with all the CSS tools that they need to quickly develop websites. It has a deep feature set, is easy to learn, is mobile-first, and is cross-browser compatible. Hundreds of additional components and plugins have been developed by programmers, making it the go-to tool for web designers everywhere.

Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II provides you with detailed instructions on how to develop some of the most common website and web application types on the Internet. If you have struggled with using Bootstrap in the past or applying a custom look and feel to your projects, this book will give you the foundation that you need to become a Bootstrap master.
