Week 4 Working Ahead: Bootstrap

Next week we start Joomla templating. This is a more complicated process, and it's likely it will take you 10-12 hours to complete a Joomla template, from creating your raw HTML to the final tested template.

Some of you may wish to work with Bootstrap as a responsive design framework for building the template. That is completely acceptable, but not required for your assignment.

If you have some extra time this week and you're curious about Bootstrap, you may wish to look into "Up and Running with Bootstrap 2 Links to an external site." at lynda.com. This is the version of Bootstrap built into Joomla 3. Bootstrap 2 documentation Links to an external site. is also available.

Bootstrap 3 is the most recent version. You may want to work with this in Drupal and WordPress. Once you know one version of Bootstrap, the other version is fairly straightforward to learn. Read the documentation Links to an external site..

Today's trivia: Did you know Canvas is integrated with Bootstrap 3? Feel free to try some of Bootstrap's CSS classes in your forum posts.
