By Alan Forbes

Book Overview

B&W EDITION: How to build awesome browser applications that scale to mobile devices, even if you've never programmed before. Do you want to build browser applications that make people say "wow " when they see it? Of course you do I do too. How about apps that look great on a mobile device and size automatically for different screens? Yep, I want that too.: ) Experiment with the code on the Companion Web Site The book has tons of Bootstrap example source code which you can tweak and play with. It's all available at http: //joyofbootstrap.com/code.php where you can even edit the code without downloading it. (Go ahead, try it now ) The book will walk you through all the hard code and explain how it works. The Bootstrap book for you.... I write books that are easy to read and easily digestible. I group the chapters into easy, logical concepts that work together but still stand on their own. Check out my writing style with a free sample here http: //joyofbootstrap.com/sample.pdf I write in a fun, conversational style that makes technical topics approachable for beginners. When it makes sense I build on early concepts to take you into progressively more advanced (cool) topics and exercises. My books don't cover every function and nuance-- those books are too much like bricks for my taste-- instead my books are relatively thin with the goal to launch you into a subject as quickly as possible and empower you with the basics right away. We'll also continue to use the successful metaphor of "Sam's Used Cars", a fictional web site that gives you a context in which to learn along. We'll take a plain and boring HTML website and bring it to life with Bootstrap. Designed for everyone, everywhere. Bootstrap is a framework that makes front-end web development faster and easier. A couple of guys at Twitter invented it and later made it open source. Other people have joined in and it is now in it's third major release. Bootstrap 3 is good for people of all skill levels, devices of all shapes, and projects of all sizes.
