Comfort: 4.5 / 5 Completeness: 5 / 5

Three things I learned

  1. There is a distinction between the host and the server: The host is the computer on which website files are stored, whereas the server is the piece of software on the host which serves files to the user's browser when those files are requested. (Question: Does client simply mean user's browser?)
  2. HTML is for semantics; CSS is for style. Ideal HTML does not make any reference to style. (Question: Doesn't Bootstrap completely ignore this principle?)
  3. BrowserStack can be used to test for browser compatibility.

  1. Yup, client = browser! At least 99% of the time, since the browser is what processes front-end code. But there are technically other ways you (or a program) could do that.

  2. Yes, Bootstrap does ignore lots of what would be considered common design principles. Which particular ones are you referring to though?

I have almost no experience with Bootstrap, but my question was coming from a vague memory of a "center" class.
