Preface

Summary


In this chapter, we have learned how to integrate third-party JavaScript and CSS libraries with our Bootstrap website, through Salvattore, Animate.css, and Hover.

We have been able to leverage Salvattore to add extra flexibility to Bootstrap's native grid system. We have also seen how to integrate Animate.css to add interesting transitions to MyPhoto, while integrating heavily with both Bootstrap and Salvattore. To improve the user experience of MyPhoto, we have seen how to leverage Hover, which has allowed us to provide improved visual cues to the user.

While Bootstrap provides a great amount of functionality out-of-the-box, using narrowly focused libraries such as Salvattore, Animate.css, and Hover can really improve the look and feel of a website.

Let's move on to Chapter 8, in which we will learn how to optimize MyPhoto.
