How long to learn bootstrap reddit

"How long did it take..."

Questions are generally moot and therefore not well liked in the subreddit because the answer heavily depends on the individual and comparisons are meaningless.

Learning anything takes as long as it takes the individual to grasp the material. Comparing with others is useless as the learning speed, pre-conditions, experience, etc. weigh in.

A solid HTML/CSS/JavaScript foundation with experience in building web pages will definitely speed up the process.

It's all about understanding the grid system. Spend 90% of your time learning that. The rest you can look up on an as-needed basis.

Basically, it's 12 blocks across for small - x-large (sm, md, lg, xl) and 24 across for x-small (xs). So if you want three columns for all sizes small and up, you'll use col-sm-4 in each class (since three 4-block columns will fill a 12-block row). If you want two columns but want empty space, you'll use col-sm-offset-1, and so forth.

Just focus on the grids. Test them out a ton. Constantly change the size of your browser window and see what effect it has. The rest is intuitive from there.

Greetings, everyone. I am trying to become an autodidact front-end web dev and want to know when the appropriate time is to learn Bootstrap. Right now, I am still trying to build on my knowledge of HTML and CSS before I move on to Javascript, but I am also interested in learning Bootstrap.

I still have every intention of learning Javascript plus one or two back-end languages, but just want to know when I should fit Bootstrap in. Should I learn Bootstrap before I get into Javascript or does the order not matter much in this instance? Thanks!

People are using arbitray terms like 'not long' or, 'I learnt CSS in a week or a month', or I picked up JavaScript in a few weeks', or 'React only takes a week to learn'.

My answer is not going to be a popular one, it takes a lot longer than these time periods to truly understand something if you have no basis or experience to build upon. CSS and HTML is a prime example, many people will claim you can learn it in a week, that may be the case for the basics, but to TRULY understand it can take the best part of a year or more. Think of it along the lines of easy to learn, but difficult to master, I've worked with other developers across lots of different agencies that have been on the job for years and still get basic HTML semantics wrong, and really struggle to style more intricate layouts.

Just remember it's one thing to follow along in a tutorial, but it's entirely something else to be doing it in a commercial environment to a quality standard.

It's worth noting these libraries and frameworks will take as long as that individual needs to digest it all, and depends on how dedicated that person is, how much time they're putting into learning it on a day by day basis, and whether they have any form of mentorship.

Remember anything that's truly worth learning isn't going to be easy, but that makes it all the more rewarding when you start to master stuff. My advice would be to ignore Bootstrap, ignore React, or the likes, and focus on HTML, CSS maybe a preprocessor like SCSS and vanilla JS. When the time arrives to jump ship and learn a framework I can assure you, you'll know. Your question would suggest you're probably not quite at that stage yet.

Good luck, and keep it up!

If the CSS overview of Bootstrap is confusing, then Bootstrap is probably a little beyond where you probably are at in terms of CSS ability. I would recommend taking a step back and working on upping your advanced CSS skills first - getting a handle on stuff like media queries and the like.

Bootstrap is also sort of a beast to get used to in the beginning, there's a lot of stuff packed in which may potentially be irrelevant to you at this point. If you are just trying to grasp the concepts behind a responsive framework, I'd actually start with Skeleton CSS. It's also a responsive framework, but with very little added on to it, so it's MUCH easier to grasp. Once you understand how Skeleton works - Bootstrap will make waaaay more sense.

Any CSS framework is easy to learn. I'd say, skip over it for now if time is of the essence, you will undoubtedly learn it as you go along. If you don't need to go fast, maybe page through the videos at 2x speed so that you can get an idea of what it's like. Remember, you DONT need to memorize how to use the classes and components - it's all well documented on the site and there are plenty of little snippets that you can copy and paste.

When I was first learning CSS & Basic JS, I didn't learn any frameworks for CSS aside from Bulma, which is still one of my favorites. Then when I got into React, I ended up using component libraries that basically allowed me to learn the CSS framework at the same time, so it was efficient to learn. These are Material UI (replaces Materialize CSS), React-Bootstrap (replaces Bootstrap CSS), and there are plenty others.

But CSS frameworks are pretty easy to learn and once you've seen one, you've basically seen them all. So I would just plan on learning it as you go along. Just look up documentation when you need, and you'll be good.
