Frequently asked questions about Bootstrap

What is Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end web development library that allows for rapid prototyping and creation of websites in a uniform, elegant and consistent fashion. It contains a set of extensive pre-built CSS-based interface components (like forms, buttons, etc.), a mobile-first responsive grid system and Javascript plugins battle-tested by the community and ready to be used on your website.

What is Bootstrap used for?

Bootstrap is used to build professional-looking websites without having to write custom CSS or Javascript from scratch. You just have to use Bootstrap’s own CSS and (optionally) Javascript plugins when building your HTML pages and your website becomes automatically mobile-ready, responsive and visually appealing that works and looks the same across many browsers and viewports.

How long does it take to learn Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a framework, meaning that it’s supposed to be a frictionless, easy to use set of built-in tools that make it easy to use an underlying general-purpose technology. If you’re already familiar with HTML, CSS, and even Javascript, it should take no more than a week to learn how to use Bootstrap at its full capacity (read the prerequisites below).

What are the prerequisites for learning Bootstrap?

Bootstrap assumes a basic understanding of HTML and CSS (especially media queries). Javascript knowledge is optional but highly recommended as it comes with opt-in Javascript plugins that allow you to add dynamic components for a more interactive page (modals, for example).
