The TwitterBootstrapMVC library


The TwitterBootstrapMVC library started out as an open source project created by Dmitry Efimenko. The project's goal was to assist developers in creating ASP.NET MVC sites using Bootstrap, by allowing them to use Bootstrap components with fewer lines of code. It can be very time consuming, if you are unfamiliar with the Bootstrap class names, to go through the online documentation on the Bootstrap site. The aim of TwitterBootstrapMVC is therefore to simplify website development.

The fluent implementation also provides intelliSense inside Visual Studio, enabling developers to easily discover the Bootstrap configuration options. The library is no longer open source or free, although you can still view the original project on GitHub at https://github.com/DmitryEfimenko/TwitterBootstrapMvc.

The commercialized version of the library is available at https://www.twitterbootstrapmvc.com/.
