Twitter has given its developers a whole new set of tools which would help them to not only build web apps, but even ship then as quickly and as cleanly as possible. They call this tool kit ‘Bootstrap’. It is more like a library of elegant CSS and HTML conventions which are simple to build web apps. There is however a similarity noted between this toolkit and Blueprint which is a CSS framework.
Twitter has fostered the development of Bootstrap which is now out for the developers all over the world, but it would not run on platform provided by Twitter. Mark Otto, a Twitter designer blogged in a Twitter developer blog that this toolkit would make use of those browser techniques which are newly in. this would help a user with the provision of navigation, grids, tables, buttons, forms, stylish typography and any other super tiny resource requirement.
This would be helpful for those entrepreneurs and developers who are not-so-design-focused. It could well be a potential boon for them. They now just need to work on a great app directly in the web world within a short span of time. There are similar views from the Twitter team too who emphasis that the task now is simplified as one can just work on implementing Bootstrap which should not be a hassle for any developer or web designer. Once its done, one would fine CSS alone along with CSS.
Bootstrap is being considered as a good kit for cross-browser compatibility for the new generation web browsers. This would be a relief for many a users. However the IE 7 and 8 users will have to wait as there is no current support provided by Bootstrap, but the work is on to clear off this exception too.
Talking about Bootstrap’s build, it has been worked on with Less CSS. 
Less CSS is a CSS pre-processor which has the language extended ready for behaviors which are dynamic. The running of this would be on the server side with Node.js and the client side in modern browsers. The latter has a condition that it should not be older that IE 6. One can look out for the examples and the particulars along with the code on Github which are up for grabs.
Twitter developers have not restricted their call for the web developers only, they have asked for help even from hackers who would be interested in committing to Bootstrap, while helping it to further make its footprint to a reasonably smaller size.
Otto recollected that originally, Bootstrap was to be kept as an insider tool, which had its development during the first Hackweek of Twitter. As for now,this toolkit has been brought to use for each and every Twitter’s internal apps, the count for which is varied.
Otto credited those engineers who had helped in the growth of Bootstrap. He said that their feedback was even valuable. The extensive help was a major source via which the toolkit has moved on to have durable and elegant front-end design patterns from having just basic styles. He remarked this release to be their first public 1.0 release.
