Overview of Bootstrap

Bootstrap is one of the worlds most popular styling libraries for web development. We can use it to insure that our GUI is presented in a modern and professional manner.

Implementing Bootstrap in the Current Enviornment

Download the Bootstrap library at: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#download. Download the "minified" version to have a reduced-size copy. Import the library into your project. To implement Bootstrap in JavaFX you will have to use WebViews because Bootstrap must work directly with html. You can read about WebViews here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/web/WebView.html. WebViews allows us to use HTML rendering with css and javascript.
