Question

Is it good to use bootstrap as a beginner in web development.

Answer 1

If possible, train yourself good at using css to design webpages without bootstrap. We don't really need bootstrap which is fixed format designs, you could make your creative design from css codes.

I would advise you to learn Tailwind instead, which is utility first css framework, allow developers rapidly build custom designs.

Thank you Calviղ and Logomonic Learning for the answers.
Something I feel like am losing when I see my colleague do cool things with bootstrap .
So I will take my time to learn more about CSS and Tailwind as advised so I could make creative design from CSS without any limitations .

Answer 3

Bootstrap has many free templates and is responsive on all devices so is a good option especially if you want to build a quick prototype. However you are limited by the templates that are available, in addition bootstrap sites often look the same so it is no substitute for good knowledge of css

The bootstrap naming convention is also a good way to learn how to create your own template if you ever decide to make them.
