Is Bootstrap Worth Learning?

[Benton]

I've spent months on learning and polishing my web developing skills to make sure when I start doing websites for money. I'll know enough to give clients what they want with the highest quality I can achieve. Recently I've been thinking about Bootstrap and learning it. I know my CSS, Flexboxes and media queries and all that jazz but I hear everyone say Bootstrap is good for decreasing the time it takes to style a site and the grid/column system is amazing for making responsive websites and will save you a lot of time. Kind of thinking is Bootstrap worth learning. I'm comfortable with CSS/SASS but the only thing that takes time is using media queries and making everything responsive when the browser width shrinks.

In my opinion, Bootstrap seems to be a little bit amaturish but if done well, can look fantastic on a website. I suggest learning it, can be extremely efficient when you don't want to do certain things by hand.

It's not something that takes long to get the basics of. I would say its defiantly worth learning, makes life easier and making websites quicker.

It's funny because while I was learning. I literally skipped over Bootstrap. I learn HTML, CSS, SASS, jQuery, Mongo, React, Node and all the other frontend/backend frameworks except Bootstrap but as I do more and more practice sites from Designs I get from Dribble. Making websites responsive takes up the most time.

Yeah, but I have no problem with your journey on learning bootstrap, just don't make those shitty ones where they are a few buttons and nobody knows how to make a simple php page

there isnt much to learn but depends on the way you use it. Bootsrap pros can make super responsive websites super quick but pros dont extensively use bootstrap because they like to customize their websites themselves and create their own mini frameworks but if you dont like spending much time on designing and are more of a backend kinda developer and need some framework for quickly creating websites use bootstrap. Use bootstrap if you a beginner to mid tier css dev, or dont use if ur tryna be a css pro learn to create solutions to problems that you would use bootstrap to solve yourself

The two things I could use it for is the grid system and the carousel because I'm too lazy to make my own carousel in JavaScript if i'm making a personal website to add to my portfolio but if i'm working with Mongo, Node and APIs to fetch data. I'll probably use Bootstrap to quickly style out a quick layout in mins so I don't just have plain ugly HTML.

Grid is super super simple to make especially in sass, let me know if you want me to teach you how to make one or I can share the framework I made in sass, super simple to edit and stuff.
And not gonna lie the carousel is pretty useful

Responsiveness takes less time than you think it does.

I'm going to give this course a try. I watch Traversy Media on Youtube all the time for backend stuff and I know for a fact. His Bootstrap course on Udmy has to be fantastic because he's an amazing instructor.

Flexbox > bootstrap

I'm glad I took the time to learn flexboxes. Definitely came in handy. I just feel like Bootstrap would be a good skill to have. Like bigthicc said. When i'm working with the backend. Instead of styling from scratch. I can use Bootstrap to make a quick plain simple layout.

Yeah, it's definitely quicker when using bootstrap, but i personally just hate bootstrap for some reason, no idea why though
