What is Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a CSS framework which has several predefined CSS classes using which we can design our Website or web application very easily and with a good look and feel. It also provides some JavaScript Components which are very useful, easy to integrate and completes almost all the need of designing and developing a professional looking website or web application.

Bootstrap also provides inbuilt CSS classes to design responsive (for mobiles, tablets) websites. With latest bootstrap it has mobile first approach and with choice we can make it non-responsive.

It has a very good documentation reading which we can easily understand the use and implementation of bootstrap.

Brief History

Bootstrap has been designed and developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at Twitter as a framework to encourage uniformity in design, reusability of interfaces for their internal projects.

Later on after its great success within the company, Twitter released Bootstrap as open source in August, 2011. Prior to being an open-sourced framework, Bootstrap was known as "Twitter Blueprint". (Know more )

Latest Version

At current, Bootstrap 3 is the latest version which has mobile first approach as compare to the desktop first approach of their previous releases.  Mobile first means if we use bootstrap in our website by default our site is responsive i.e.  With a single design your website is capable to adjust itself while browsing it on desktop, mobiles and tablets. And if want non-responsive design we can add the related CSS classes. It also has several new CSS classes and bug fixes.
