This is Bootstrap Week at OSTraining: Watch 2 Free Classes

We've just published a post explaining that "Bootstrap's popularity grew 1,000% in 3 years". It's clear that Bootstrap is the most popular design framework in the world.
If you haven't used it before, Bootstrap is an HTML, CSS and Javascript framework that allows you to create clean-looking websites. Bootstrap provides pre-built code that solves many of the tricky elements, such as responsiveness, that slow down web projects.


This week, to celebrate Bootstrap's growth, we've made two Bootstrap classes free to watch at OSTraining. All these videos will be available to non-members until Friday night.

Bootstrap's Popularity Grew 1,000% in 3 Years

Back in mid-2013, I wrote a post called, "The Bootstrap Boom is Just Getting Started". Looking at the statistics, it was clear that Bootstrap was on its way to becoming very popular indeed.

Three years later, and its obvious that even those optimistic projections underestimated just how popular Bootstrap would become. Not only has Bootstrap grown since 2013. According to a range of statistics, its usage has actually grown by between 800% to 1,000%
