To Bootstrap or not to Bootstrap, that is the question…
Leaving aside the clear misquote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, many developers might ask themselves whether they want to use a framework for their next project.
Frameworks have one clear advantage in that they can help get your site up and running very quickly—Bootstrap is no different. Developed by Twitter as an internal tool for unifying their own projects, Bootstrap has rapidly become the number one project on GitHub, with a user base that includes NASA and MSNBC.
Why talk about this in a book concerning Less, though? Easy; as you will find out, Bootstrap was built on Less; it is a perfect tool to help get accustomed to working with Less. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Bootstrap's Less file structure
Bootstrap's mixins
Configuring Bootstrap for your site
Developing a workflow for using Bootstrap
