Introduction to Bootstrap: Twitter’s CSS Framework

Introduction

Twitter recently released Bootstrap, a comprehensive front-end framework that's quickly gaining traction among web developers. After spending years building and maintaining their internal tools, Twitter decided to open-source their CSS framework, and the response has been overwhelming. Bootstrap promises to solve many of the common pain points developers face when building modern web applications: cross-browser compatibility, responsive layouts, and consistent component styling.

Whether you're building a quick prototype or a production application, Bootstrap provides a solid foundation that lets you focus on functionality rather than wrestling with CSS inconsistencies across browsers.
