Forget the fancy terminology. Bootstrap is not a language nor a framework nor much of anything else. Bootstrap is a pre-defined CSS file. ONE FILE. Absolutely nothing more (but very very useful). Grab any free website template off the internet and in the archive you will find a file named something like "style.css". This file defines what the website LOOKS like... it contains the styling information. If you wanted to make your own website from scratch, you would have to create "style.css" entirely yourself from scratch...... In case you don't know what CSS is, it's a system created by idiots to complicate the entire universe. Along comes Bootstrap.css, with lots of predefined styles, making web design incredibly easy. So Bootstrap really isn't much, but it is worth its weight in gold.

RE: Is Bootstrap a programming language?
I just discovered the site a few minutes ago. I see the thread is months old but I wanted to put something out there for anyone who chances into the convo in the future. :)
