Creating the Home page in Our Social Network

In this chapter, we will continue with the social network project that we started in the preceding chapter. We will add the home page content to display a timeline of the user's social content. The timeline shows all the content the user has posted and also from other users they are following. This provides an excellent means for attracting the users when the website is first launched. This will be in conjunction with the previous chapters sidebar to provide a familiar layout.

In this chapter, the following topics will be covered:

  • Bootstrap cards/tiles
  • Bootstrap thumbnails
  • Bootstrap sections
  • Multiline text input
  • Form input
  • JavaScript AJAX form submission
  • Debugging and testing responsive design
