Having designed web sites myself since the mid 1990's, I welcomed the chance to review this book in exchange for a copy. I'm always interested to see what advances are being made in web technology these days. The author Ryan Flores teaches Bootstrap 3 in this beginners guide. The book is very informative for the beginning web developer using this Bootstrap framework to build out their own sites with.I really liked the authors way of getting the instructional points across with screen-shots of the results of using Bootstrap 3 coding. I can see how this will help the beginning designer. The newbie developer is able to see the build of a web page in progressive steps, ultimately to a final product suitable for the Internet.When I first started building web sites, everything was hand-coded. The only way to get any sort of repeatable and semi-reliable "plug-ins" were to build them yourself with Perl and use .shtml to call them into the page. What used to be the hardest thing to get right was building forms. There always seemed to be a fine line between functional, usable and secure. I see that with use of Modals, this is no longer an issue. This is a very good book for the beginner web developer, and is a good stepping-stone to fully utilizing Bootstrap 3 for web development.
