Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to solve common user interface development requirements using third-party libraries. By improving various functionalities built out during the course of the previous chapters, we demonstrated how to detect a user's browser and its version using the jQuery browser plugin. We used the bootpag plugin to allow users to navigate data. Along with it, we enhanced the look and feel of our Events section using images and Lightbox for Bootstrap. We also looked at improving the usability of our price list using DataTables.

Armed with the knowledge of how to use popular and widely adopted third-party libraries, we are now ready to customize Bootstrap's jQuery plugins to suit our exact needs. Lets go to the next chapter!
