## What is Bootstrap?
- A lightweight styling library used for developing front end solutions. 
- Bootstrap allows for quick solutioning when it comes to styling needs and prototyping.
- Built on top of flexbox, jQuery and utilizes a grid system for responsive design. 

---

## How is it used? 

---

**Prototyping:** 
Quickly define solutions that represent the end result. (UX Designers, Developers, Product managers, Engineering Managers etc)

---

**Why Prototype anyway? Couldn't we just write the code as we go and adapt along the way?**

The short answer is: **yes**

The long answer is: **It doesn't have to be used just for prototyping**

---

## Why is Prototyping important?

---

## How do we get into our projects?

Bootstrap is delivered via download or CDN. 

---

**Ok ok, So what is this CDN thing?**

CDN stands for ***Content Delivery Network:*** This is essentially remote server that you can access that contains tooling needed for the expected outcome.
