The reality, however, is that Bootstrap is incredibly popular for good reason. It’s responsive out-of-the-box, is delivered via other people’s CDNs (for which I thank you :) ) and provides a relatively familiar UI paradigm.

In keeping with the “minimum viable product” theme, Bootstrap allows for very quick… err… bootstrapping of a pleasant, clean, simple web application with the minimum of fuss.

This is just a quick post to get the “Yet another Bootstrap site?” question out of the way. In the next post in this series I’ll look in a bit more detail at NancyFX and some sneaky tricks to make it refactoring-friendly.

Work

I'm Head of IT & Engineering at Etax, one of Australia's largest tax agents. Other interesting places I've been before Etax include Octopus Deploy, ThoughtWorks, Readify, Zap BI, Realex Payments and TRL.

I'm a fan of high-quality code, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, continuous delivery and, most importantly, shipping software that works and that solves people's problems.

I have a number of small open-source creations, including Nimbus, ConfigInjector and NotDeadYet, and am an occasional contributor to several more.

I'm a regular speaker and presenter at conferences and training events. My mother wrote COBOL on punch cards and I've been coding in one form or another since I was five years old.
