Should You Learn Bootstrap in 2020?

Bootstrap 5 Alpha has been released and a lot of people have asked me if they should learn it or use it. I address that in this video

What do you think? Is it worth learning Bootstrap or any CSS framework in 2020? As I said in the video, it's easy enough to learn, v5 has some improvements, so it doesn't hurt. Just be sure to learn CSS first

I also want to make it clear, for just about everything that I said, you can replace Bootstrap with Tailwind, Materialize or anything else :)

There! That is how straight-talking people put your mind at ease.

The thing with bootstrap is, the more you use it, the more you want your sites to look less bootstrapy..

Good to see you Brad!
Today I learned that there is such a thing as a CSS Framework. This is just too much I wouldn't blame anyone who gets confused.

I agree with Brad, learn the fundamentals of your craft first, you can pretty much do everything once you understand those. No shortcuts.

You're a inspiration for me...
I created my own channel inspired by what I learned from you, I started my learning by taking your courses on Udemy, then I moved on to others, but it was with you that I took my important initial steps.
Today I also share what I know for free on my channel.
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

Hearing your voice alone makes me happier let alone following your content.

You're the best on youtube.

Good morning brother man, because of your video's I'm getting close to front-end freelancing. I really do appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos to help us out. Hope you're staying safe and healthy. Much respect for all you do!

[rbartig]

Short answer, yes. There's no such thing as TMI in the IT profession.

[CoffeeNCode]

You've inspired me so much, enough to start my own channel and teach programming. It's good to see you again, keep up the good work 😊💖

I just hit 50% completion on your html css course on udemy. It really helped me out with css. I've always struggled with it but now can make a responsive site with floats. I am currently rewatching the flex box section over and over like I did with the css. I will use some bootstrap in the future but not much. I really enjoy using css. Thanks for all your vids!

You and your video changed my entire career path in becoming a web developer. I’m very grateful that you post high level content on YouTube! Always good to see you and hope you become healthy again! Thank you for everything.

I feels like I am seeing Brad after such a long time..❤️
Get well soon Brad. Our Developer journey is Incomplete Without You..😓❤️❤️

I did exactly as you said. Learned HTML and CSS first, then learned Bootstrap back in 2011 when it came out. Then learned how to customize it to make it not look so Bootstrappy but I like it because it takes care of a lot of small things that are often overlooked. Over the years they've added a lot of nice time-saving features to it. It is also nice for when you have multiple devs and have some standardizing in your processes and the frameworks and tools that you use to serve your clients. Some people hate it but to each their own. Just another tool of many to use, IMO.

Great to see you back! Thank you for your awesome tutorials and courses that transformed me from being a certified pilot with no future under the current economic climate to a web developer, with a very bright future ahead! Please never stop educating us!

[ikechukwuwise]

What I love most about your course is that intro music or tune, i just love to hear it, keep replaying it till my satisfied. First time commenting Thanks for your Tutorials, have downloaded many of them here is just my Coding College.

Brad is back with a discussion video. I hope that you are starting to feel well now. Content creation really requires dedication and consistency as well which I am sometimes not able to maintain due to strict work routine and times. But I am still going at a pace that suits my routine.
I am inspired by the consistency of Net Ninja & the dedication and the value that Traversy Media brings. Kudos man and take care :)

[NaaGaboy]

This is the proof that Brad will be back. I know it sir Brad and you know it too. You are the best teacher worldwide and you can't just leave us alone. Take a break, relax and we will be glad to see you back in the coming months.

It's definitely worth learning. It's a tool you can have on hand to mock things up, or put together beautiful interfaces for internal tools at a company. The other thing is that it's not really so much a "learn" if you already have a grasp on HTML CSS. A large part of bootstrap is knowing what classes to write where. That's a solid return on the time investment. I wouldn't use it for a customer-facing final product unless I was on a major time crunch, but anything short of that, I'd probably use it
