So you can see, that we can go through and use CSS to control how
the browser displays all these different elements on our page.
So we've changed the way the heading is displayed,
we've played around with different fonts.
We've even made sort of interactive elements where,
when you mouse over a link, it kind of highlights it,
to make it really clear to the user that that link is going to go somewhere.
The problem is, though, there's so many different HTML tags that we could use, and
the browser has a whole bunch of default settings for all of those HTML tags.
And if we really want to escape from the default look, that looks a bit like
the world's first Web page that we saw previously, if you want to escape from
that, and really get towards this more modern look, then we're gonna
have to do a lot of work in the style sheets to really style everything up.
So as you might imagine, there's an easy way to do it, because obviously, everybody
who's made a professional website has pretty much had to do this process.
So there's a whole bunch of libraries out there, which basically give you ready made
sets of CSS Customizations on the default way the browser displays it.
And one of the more popular ones is called bootstrap, and we're gonna be using
bootstrap in the rest of this course, and going into the specialization.
Bootstrap's really nice because it doesn't just sort of customize the fonts and so
on, it also gives you loads of ready made, kind of navigation components, and
different widgets that you can embed on your site, and again,
we'll dig much more into those in a following course.
But for now, we're just gonna find out how we can install bootstrap, and
then what it does to the look and feel of our site.
So, I'm looking at the folder containing my web files here,
and the first thing I want to do is, essentially,
get that bootstrap file in there, so let's go.
I've grabbed the bootstrap file here, and you can access the bootstrap.css file
online, or you can get it from our course resources, and so bootstrap.css,
there it is, well let's have a quick look at it.
