Sprint 2 - CSS Frameworks

Learning Competencies

  • Understanding what CSS frameworks are
  • A brief understanding of how to use the Bulma framework

Summary

CSS frameworks provide basic CSS that you can import like a stylesheet to tackle common issues in front-end web development, such as getting divs to line up where you want them.

This way, developers do not have to start from scratch every time they build an application. They can reuse the base foundation of an earlier application to fast track the visual elements of a website or application to avoid coding in every little detail repeatedly for each new project.

They can significantly decrease the time needed to start creating applications and websites.
