Welcome to you and excel.
So this unit is all about a tool called Bootstrap bootstrap.
It's a really useful sucess in javascript library.
We'll talk more about what a library is and what that means in the next unit.
But basically it helps us make really good looking sites much faster than we would without it.
And in this you know we have four main objectives and then two projects that we'll do towards the end
.
The first objective is that I just want to be able to explain what bootstrap is what a library is and
how those work.
So just conceptually a quick overview of how these pieces fit together and what a library is.
And then I want you to be able to include bootstrap in your own applications two different ways.
The first is by downloading it and including it locally.
And the second is by using something that's called the Cdn.
And then once you have it installed there's two objectives that relate to actually using bootstrap Boucek
comes with a bunch of different components a lot of different pieces.
And I'm going to highlight some of the most important ones.
So our third objective is that you get comfortable using things like the form controls and bootstrap
the buttons the nav bars and some of the other important components.
And then the fourth objective is that you get comfortable using the Boucek grid system to make nice
responsive layouts.
And we'll spend a lot of time on that one because there's a lot to know about the grid.
We'll have a few videos devoted to it as well as the final two projects.
So the first project will be a boot shut based image gallery just like we did in the last unit where
we made an image gallery but this will be used in Boucek and I'm doing that really so you can compare
the two experiences.
See how easy it is to create something without bootstrap than how easy it is to do it with bootstrap
.
It will look a little bit different and won't be all black and white will have a different nav bar so
it will be a different experience.
And then the final project is we're going to create a landing page for a fictional startup and not only
use a lot of components as well.
The grid system now bars some of the buttons and bootstrap and basically everything that we've covered
so far in this unit.
And before we get started I do want to point out that this is our last assess only unit.
Next we're going to cover javascript.
We're going to take a step back from making websites from making real applications that look nice just
to focus on Javascript but then we'll be coming back full force.
Once you finish up the job market basics will start making application to get.
So this is our last chance for a little bit to make some real finished products.
So that's why we're doing two solid projects at the end of this year.
Okay let's get started.
