Bootstrap Framework

Hi,

I'm in the process of designing / building a new admin / type website.

I was hoping to use an existing framework for the html / css front end.

Is Bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com) still the leading front end framework out there?

Thanks in advance for your help

Cool, my only worry is that it might be too bloated.

Can you recommend any good resources / books / videos for getting started with it, thanks again.
Well you have the w3 ones which are good and comprehensive

http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/

But I always prefer Youtube, theres tons on there. Not sure if Lynda.com do any.

As for bloatness, yeah they have a lot behind them, but gzip on the server etc helps with this. We have sites with bootstrap themes and they are very fast

Great, thanks for all the help.

I'll start reading that article now.

What is te difference between the two downloads on the Bootstrap website?
Do you mean this
http://getbootstrap.com/customize/

It just lets you omit anything you don't need from the css, ergo a smaller file.
If you are just starting then go for the full download so you can play around with the various elements.

That's cool... but sorry no i was referring to the options here:

http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#download
First link is standard CSS, second and third are LESS and SASS which are CSS precompilers (just google them)
