Bootstrap in Action: From Beginner to Proficient

Bootstrap in Action: From Beginner to Proficient is written by the Future Technology Team and published by China Water & Power Press in 2017, as part of the "Web Development Video-on-Demand Series." The book is organized into three knowledge levels and 19 chapters in total. Part 1 (Chapters 1–3) covers Bootstrap basics: what Bootstrap is, how to include and use it in a project, and the framework's technical features and the fundamental approach to responsive design. Part 2 (Chapters 4–13) covers the basic use of Bootstrap: it explains the use of grid layouts, various CSS components, and JavaScript plugins one by one, and further explains how to extend Bootstrap, how to integrate and apply third-party plugins, and how to configure LESS styles. Part 3 (Chapters 14–19) is practical development: through several complete projects including an enterprise website, a WAP site, and an online photo album, it demonstrates the full development process from requirements analysis and page-structure building to style writing and plugin debugging, helping readers connect scattered knowledge points into a complete development workflow. The book contains numerous examples and illustrations that readers can follow step by step against the code. Teaching videos (accessible by scanning QR codes) and source materials are provided with the book, along with expanded resources such as exercises and interview-question banks, a case library, a web template library, and a web color scheme library. The book is positioned as a technical tutorial that balances introductory and advanced content, suitable both for self-taught web front-end beginners and as a textbook or training material for university programs in web design, website construction, and web front-end development.
