Build a website with Bootstrap 4 - Introduction

Key Takeaways

Welcome to this project, except you might have already started it. I realized after putting out the first episode that I was missing an introduction to this episode where there's a couple of things that I should have talked about. So, if you're watching this after it's already all come out and you're sort of catching up on things, this will be in the right order for you. But if you watch the first episode already, you might be getting this one after the fact. So, just uh anyway, with all that confusing stuff out of the way, what I want to do is two things. First, I just want to show you the project that we're going to be building. I built this in a previous video. So, if you want to watch how I built it and some of the thought process that I put into this, you can check that out. Uh, and I mistakenly thought that people would have seen that even though it's not officially part of this series. So, my bad. Sorry about that. Uh, so here's the design. I hope you like it. This is the site that we will be using Bootstrap 4 to build. And that's the other thing I want to talk about is the fact that we're using Bootstrap 4 to build it. Bootstrap 4 is currently in alpha version 6. It's in alpha. So, it's not actually the official release yet. Um, so I had some people just asking, is it safe to use Bootstrap 4? And uh, you know, there there's other should they be using Bootstrap 3? Should they be using Foundation, other stuff like that? And as we're going to see, there are some issues with Bootstrap 4 still. Some people are using Bootstrap 4 currently and it there's lots of good stuff with it, but there's a few bugs that we'll probably run into along the way. If you are using Bootstrap 4, just be aware that some things might change. If you're watching this in the future and you're in the beta or the official release, there's some things that might be different from this video to what the official release is actually like. Uh even though for the most part it should be similar. It's more bug fixes and a few little changes that could be happening along the way. Sorry for the confusion of the whole out of order thing for those of you who are watching this as the videos come out. And for those of you who are watching it after the fact and everything is in the right order, the next video will be about downloading our files, downloading Bootstrap, the different ways we can do that, as well as how to set up the files a little bit so it works a bit better for us. Thank you so much for watching and until next time, don't forget to make your corner of the internet just a little bit more awesome.
