Uvod Bootstrap je besplatan CSS i JavaScript radni okvir koji omogućava programerima da brzo izgrade prilagodljive veb interfejse. Radni okvir su osmislili Mark Otto i Jacob Thornton dok su radili u Twitteru 2010. godine. Od kako je izdat kao projekat otvorenog koda u avgustu 2011. godine, Bootstrap je postao glavno ime među frontend veb programerima. Lakoća upotrebe radnog okvira, zajedno sa kompatibilnošću između pretraživača, podrškom za korisnički interfejs za mobilne uređaje i mogućnostima prilagodljivog dizajna, čini ga osnovnim gradivnim blokom za svaku modernu veb aplikaciju. Sa više od 600 saradnika i više od 34. 000 kopija GitHub skladišta Bootstrap je postao najpopularniji radni okvir za prilagodljivi veb razvoj na svetu. Međutim, uprkos njegovoj popularnosti, postoji relativno malo naprednih resursa za njegovu četvrtu i najnoviju verziju. Zbog toga, motivacija za ovu knjigu je bila da obezbedimo sveobuhvatni vodič, korak po korak, za programere koji žele da kreiraju kompletan veb sajt spreman za proizvodnju, koristeći Bootstrap 4. Kada pročitate celu knjigu, trebalo bi da u potpunosti ovladate ovim radnim okvirom i da možete da kreirate prilagodljive i optimizovane veb interfejse. Znaćete kako da proširite radni okvir, da ga integrišete sa nezavisnim komponentama i radnim okvirima i da optimizujete i automatizujete Bootstrap projekte. Za koga je ova knjiga Ova knjiga namenjena je korisnicima koji već razumeju HTML, JavaScript i CSS i koji žele da nauče kako da izgrade prilagodljive veb sajtove pomoću Bootstrapa 4. Ova knjiga nije namenjena da bude uvod u veb razvoj. LINK KA KNJIZI. Poreklo Butstrep, prvobitno nazvan Tviter Bluprint (engl. Twitter Blueprint), su razvili Mark Oto i Džejkob Tornton radeći za kompaniju Tviter, s namerom da povećaju konzistentnost interno korišćenih alata. Pre Butstrepa, korišćene su razne biblioteke za razvoj interfejsa, što je dovelo do nedoslednosti i teškog održavanja. Mark Oto navodi: „Mala grupa programera, zajedno sa mnom, se udružila kako bi dizajnirali i izgradili nov interni alat i u tome smo videli priliku za nešto više. Tokom ovog procesa, primetili smo da gradimo nešto što je mnogo značajnije od običnog internog alata. Nakon nekoliko meseci, završili smo prvu verziju Butstrepa koja je predstavljala jedan vid dokumentovanja i deljenja zajedničkih dizajnerskih šablona i resursa unutar kompanije. ” WIKIPEDIA Trenutno (10. 05. 2018. ) na GitHub-u Bootstrap ima 124,415 zvezdica 59,619 forkova i nalazi se daleko ispred ostalih sličnih radnih okvira.
