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.

Preface

Adding the logo image


Find the logo.png file in the assets/images folder. You may notice that its dimensions are large, 900 px wide. In our final design, it will be only 120 px wide. Because the pixels will be compressed into a smaller space, this is a relatively easy way to ensure that the image will look good on all devices, including retina displays. Meanwhile, the file size of the image, which has already been optimized for the Web, is only 19 KB.

So, let's put it in place and constrain its width:

  1. Open the html/includes/header.html file in your text editor.

  2. Search for this line within the navbar markup:

          <a class="navbar-brand"
           href="index.html">Bootstrappin'</a> 
    
  3. Replace the HTML from the previous step with the following image tag, including its alt and width attributes:

          <a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html"><img src="
          {{root}}/images/logo.png" alt="Bootstrappin'"
            width="120"></a>
