Temptation

I am trying to be somewhat disciplined and not start working on my Weekend Project until other current project is finished.  It’s always tempting to start a new cool looking project.  But instead of having a bunch of unfinished projects I’m using the desire to start working on that Drawdio to motivate me to finish this PHP and web design project.

Bootstrap

Don’t get me wrong, my current PHP / web design project is pretty cool too, just in a different way.  I’m using the Bootstrap framework to build a web application that will hopefully look very modern and scale well to any screen size.  I really like this framework because it comes with so many CSS styles to use.  Setting up those styles and choosing what looks good together has always been the hardest part for me, this makes it much easier.

Pics or it didn’t happen

Check out the examples on the Getting Started page to get a quick idea of what a Bootstrap design looks like.  I still have quite a bit of leaning to do so that I can get away from my table based layouts of the past.  The CSS included with the Bootstrap framework and all of the examples given on the site will really help.  Everyone building web sites and applications should be familiar with Bootstrap.
