Overview of this book

Packed with trade secrets, this second edition is your one-stop solution to creating websites that will provide the best experience for your users. We cover six popular, real-world examples, where each project teaches you about the various functionalities of Bootstrap 4 and their implementation. The book starts off by getting you up and running with the new features of Bootstrap 4 before gradually moving on to customizing your blog with Bootstrap and SASS, building a portfolio site, and turning it into a WordPress theme. In the process, you will learn to recompile Bootstrap files using SASS, design a user interface, and integrate JavaScript plugins. Towards the end of the book, you will also be introduced to integrating Bootstrap 4 with popular application frameworks such as Angular 2, Ruby on Rails, and React.

Troubleshooting

If things are not running smoothly, you should ask yourself the following questions:

  • Is your markup properly structured? Any unclosed, incomplete, or malformed tags, classes, and so on present?

You might find it helpful to do the following:

  • Work back through the preceding steps, double-checking things along the way.
  • Validate your HTML to ensure it's well formed.
  • Compare the completed version of the exercise files with your own.
  • Refer to the Bootstrap documentation for new updates to the relevant tag structures and attributes.
  • Place your code in a snippet at https://jsfiddle.net/ or https://codepen.io/, and share it with the good folks at http://stackoverflow.com/ for help.

When we have so many moving parts to work with, things are bound to happen and these are some of our best survival methods!

Bootply is a playground for Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery; you can use it to test your HTML code. You can also add your compiled CSS code, but Bootply cannot compile your CSS code.

Note

Bootply can be found online at http://www.bootply.com/.

Our site template is almost complete. Let's pause to take stock before moving on.
