Twitter Bootstrap (“Bootstrap”) is a sleek, intuitive, open source front-end framework for faster and easier web development which can be used to style all types of websites.
It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other user interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions. The framework is modular.
Bootstrap uses Grunt with convenient methods for working with the framework. Bootstrap is based on LESS CSS stylesheets that implement various components of the toolkit. LESS CSS is a dynamic stylesheet language which extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions.
