HTML5DevConf: Erik Beeson, shelv.es: Stop Abusing Bootstrap
Erik Beeson - Stop Abusing Bootstrap
(alternative titles; Twitter Bootstrap: Stop Doing it Wrong; Stop Abusing Bootstrap) Due to its consistent style, breadth of common components, and relative ease of use, Twitter Bootstrap is everywhere. Its prevalence has lead designers to resent the very look of it (even with varied styling), causing something of a backlash against the whole framework. But the problem isn't with the framework; the problem lies in how we use the framework. It's actually quite malleable, and the look that we've come to loath is but one particular interpretation, manifested in the 'vanilla CSS' version. By embracing semantic markup, and working from the Bootstrap source, we can effectively leverage the power and ease of the framework without being constrained by dreaded 'Bootstrap look'. In this talk, I'll demonstrate the flaws of building on the 'vanilla CSS' version of Bootstrap, and show how working from the LESS/Sass sources is faster, easier, and much more flexible for building a quality design.
