Flexbox - How cool is that! :-)

Hi Everyone,

Just finished Guil Hernandez course on Flexbox. OMG, how cool and easy is that! :-)

I've got a rather large project coming up and I'm sold on Flexbox. The application requirement will definitely be modern browsers so no need to support the older stuff.

Thanks Guil for an amazing course. You've really opened up my ideas regarding simplicity.

I'm working my way through the courses etc... but on the web, everyone for years has been talking about Bootstrap and now Bootstrap 4... Does Bootstrap 4 do the flexbox thing?

What's the general up take of using flexbox for new projects?

Loving treehouse!

Bootstrap 4 brings many changes and new features to the grid system we are all so familiar with from version 3. The new grid is now powered by flexbox, lots of utility classes have been renamed, and a new XL breakpoint has been added.

Hi Christopher! Thanks for the reply good sir! Much appreciated! :-)

Thanks for the link! Having never touched Bootstrap 3 and with my own content in mind, I'll have a look at Bootstrap 3. HOWEVER, in looking ahead, there are obviously millions of sites out there using Bootstrap 3. So just have to get familiar with both of them.

Flexbox is cool though !!!

Thanks again buddy!
