Get Started
Bootstrap is a free and open source framework developed by Twitter that provides a variety of templates for use with front-end web development. Using Bootstrap makes it easy to design a fully responsive website and is a framework worth learning.
What is a responsive website
A responsive website is a website that resizes and rearranges items on the page depending on the size of your browser. With a responsive website, if you resize your browser you can see the changes occur in real time. Bootstrap makes your website responsive for you.
How do I add Bootstrap to my page
Adding bootstrap to your page is a fast process, just add the following to the <head> tags in your code.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">
You will also need to add the following between the body tags in your code. With bootstrap you'll be using <div> tags when using many of Bootstrap's features, each tag will have its own unique set of classes applied that allows the tag to perform its task. Other sections of this Bootstrap guide will show more examples of how Bootstrap uses <div> tags. (<div> tags are not exclusive to Bootstrap however Bootstrap makes use of them.). Below is the code that would would add to the body tags in your code to finish getting started. Keep in mind that while this creates the container, the page will still remain blank until you add content to the container.
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
