Bootstrap is a free collection of tools for creating websites and web applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components such as menus, headers, and image carousels.
Bootstrap was built by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton, originally the idea was an internal project at Twitter but eventually it was approved to become open source. One of the best things about Bootstrap is that is was designed to be a "mobile first" platform, meaning you can build great looking desktop browsers that looks good on mobile devices without a massive amount of extra work.
Personally I've used Bootstrap using Visual Studio and programming in ASP.net, I think Bootstrap is absolutely essential for web developers as it saves time and eliminates many lines of code. Since Bootstrap is open sourced and free to use, as well as, HTML and CSS-based, programmers can incorporate it to almost any programming language they choose.
I started to create a website for my wedding using Bootstrap and ASP.net, an example of Bootstrap follows:
Overall I think Bootstrap is a great HCI technology, it saves time and is extremely useful. I would also recommend the book, "The Joy of Bootstrap" written by Alan Forbes, the book is a great way to learn all about Bootstrap.
