Mobile First Bootstrap

Overview of this book

<p>Bootstrap changes the way we develop websites in the frontend, and mobile web development has grown incredibly over the past few years. There are over 1.2 billion mobile web users in the world, and 25% of those mobile web users are exclusively mobile. Now, Bootstrap has also gone mobile-first. The mobile-first version of Bootstrap lets you first think about the mobile site and then think about how it expands to larger screens. To build websites for mobile devices that improve the overall experience of your customers, you need to be skilled at using the mobile-first feature of Bootstrap.</p> <p>Mobile First Bootstrap covers the new features in Bootstrap 3 and focuses on how they affect development from a mobile-first perspective. It will show you how to use Bootstrap 3 for developing websites for mobile and how to use that knowledge for your own development projects.</p> <p>The book starts by highlighting the new changes that have been made to Bootstrap 3. After learning about these new features, you will discover how to easily build websites for mobile. You will learn how to run Bootstrap 3 Docs to customize Bootstrap for your needs. You will then be introduced to the new mobile grid system, the responsive utilities, and how to use mobile-first for navigation. Then, using JavaScript, you will explore the power of data attributes and progressive enhancement before starting to develop a web project from scratch. The last section of the book will discuss the main issues that affect the performance of Bootstrap as well as the issues that arise while dealing with responsive images.</p> <p>Mobile First Bootstrap guides you through everything you need to know about Bootstrap 3 and helps you to understand and use the mobile-first approach in your own projects with the help of an example project.</p>

Acknowledgements

It was a long journey to get this project into reality, and I would like to thank the team behind this book's publication for their help.

But I would never forget to thank my mom, my family, and friends that support me all the time. I'm sure they're all very excited about this book. Although some of the people who are close to me have no idea what exactly this book is for (for them, I'm just the "nerd guy" or the "geek"), they're still interested in checking it out. It's pleasant to spread the technical knowledge for everyone with a strong demonstration through this book about how the Web is changing society and people's lives. This reason is far enough to make me proud to write this book.

It was very enjoyable to get involved in a new web paradigm and write my piece of contribution to make it a part of the whole new world of web technologies across devices. Mobile First and Bootstrap are powerful sources to make a developer, a designer, or a curious advanced developer get into the brand new mobile web. After this book, you will think about the Web in a different way, and I'm guiding you to meet the new era that will change our minds from fixed width to fluid. So, let's make your mind flexible to think about how to apply Bootstrap correctly with the Mobile First approach and make you capable of doing amazing mobile web projects.
