Overview of this book

Bootstrap is the most popular open source project on GitHub today. With a little bit of know-how, this massively popular CSS framework can leveraged for any type of complex web application or website. Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II will teach you to build these types of projects in an easy-to-understand fashion. The key to any complex Bootstrap project is a strong development foundation for your project. The book will first teach you how to build a Bootstrap development environment using Harp.js, Node, and Less. In the next chapters, we’ll build on this foundation by creating restaurant and mobile-first aggregator projects. Once you’re warmed up, we’ll move on to more complex projects such as a wiki, a new magazine, a dashboard, and finally a social networking website. Whether you are brand new to Bootstrap or a seasoned expert, this book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create a number of popular web applications and websites.

Single page apps


A popular trend in web development today is the single page app. From a static website design standpoint, that might sound a little scary. How do I approach an app that is only one page when I'm used to dealing in multiple pages? It's actually not that tough if you are strategic in how you design your project.

For this chapter, our project has the following pages or sections: Home, About, Contact, and Login/Registration. Normally, you would treat those as four different pages. With my design, home is the only actual page. The other elements will be built off the home page. A little later, we'll do some heavy customization to the Bootstrap modal component for the other sections we need.

For now, don't worry about this. I'm bringing it up because this project will only have one actual page template, which is index.ejs.
