We end this chapter with a short note on building a responsive, mobile-ready theme. Luckily, this is an easy task in Moodle: simply start with a basic responsive theme such as clean as we did just now--or one from the community such as Essential (https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_essential) - and adapt accordingly. It is always easier to find a theme you like and adapt that. In order to be mobile ready, Moodle uses Bootstrap (originally version 2 but latterly version 4; see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Bootstrap_2 for details). As there are plenty of good examples in the Moodle developer documentation of how to develop responsive themes, the reader is directed to https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Themes_overview for help on getting started.

Overview of this book
The new and revamped Moodle is the top choice for developers to create cutting edge e-learning apps that cater to different user’s segments and are visually appealing as well.
This book explains how the Moodle 3.x platform provides a framework that allows developers to create a customized e-learning solution. It begins with an exploration of the different types of plugin..
We then continue with an investigation of creating new courses. You will create a custom plugin that pulls in resources from a third-party repository. Then you’ll learn how users can be assigned to courses and granted the necessary permissions.
Furthermore, you will develop a custom user home. At the end of the book, we’ll discuss the Web Services API to fully automate Moodle 3.x in real time.
