Introduction To Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a free, open-source front-end framework developed by Twitter in 2011 (originally by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton). It is widely used for designing responsive and mobile-first websites quickly and efficiently. Bootstrap provides pre-designed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components such as navigation bars, buttons, forms, modals, and grids, which help developers build modern websites without writing everything from scratch.
