Chapter 8. Beautifying ASP.NET MVC Applications with Bootstrap

You might have created an application with all the required functionalities. It may even work perfectly without any issues in all scenarios. But the success of your application depends on how well your users can access it. Your application should look good (if not great) and be user-friendly in order for it to be a success.

In this chapter, you are going to learn about the following topics:

  • Role of HTML and CSS in the ASP.NET Core application

  • Characteristics of front-end frameworks and different frameworks available

  • Bootstrap and its grid system along its features

  • CSS classes available in Bootstrap for form elements such as input and select elements

  • CSS classes for different types of HTML elements such as table

  • Using Bootstrap in your ASP.NET Core application

Before discussing how to make our application look good, let us take a step back and discuss the roles that HTML and CSS play in your application.
