If you’re reading this book, there’s probably a good chance that you’ve heard of Bulma. Bulma is a lightweight configurable CSS framework that’s based on Flexbox. Flexbox is a relatively new CSS spec that has good browser support.

This chapter covers Bulma at a high level to get you familiar with Bulma, its terms, and its concepts.
