SIG:Twitter Bootstrap and MVC 4:As Good together as Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Back in August we saw an intro to twitter bootstrap. Twitter Bootstrap is an open source easy to use CSS framework for building responsive sites. Responsive design is a CSS technique using media queries that render a page that fits whatever device it is rendered on.

Now we will circle back and show how it fits with MVC. Don’t worry we will have a refresher course on the basics of bootstrap.

We will then move on to see how the responsive layout grid works with the MVC View Engine.

Bring your laptops if you would like to follow along. Make sure you have MVC 4 installed.

A nice example of a bootstrap admin theme - Slate 2.0 - http://themeforest.net/item/sla...

Check out the demo for live examples of how some of the Bootstrap JS plugins and CSS really work.

As a sidenote, if you're interested in just Responsive design without Bootstrap, I was at a great presentation by the author of "Breakpoint", a really slick SASS framework that takes the guesswork out of responsive+grid sizing.

Not sure if it's compatible with Bootstrap.

Recently found this list of Bootstrap resources -- http://bootstraphero.com/the-bi...

Of interest are the .NET framework integrations -- I haven't tried them, but seems like a decent start on prebaked components.
