Hi Friends. Have any of you had experience with Bootstrap + Joomla?

Does anyone reading this have any experience with building a joomla template using the Twitter bootstrap? Is it easy to do? Is it possible to build out your bootstrap site and then later apply it to joomla or do you have to code it with joomla tags? I've never built a joomla template but I dont imagine it is very difficult

I have 90% of my base css/html ready (meaning I've already organized menus/divs/images before even thinking about joomla) but am uncertain if this is the best way to approach this.

Secretly I am wishing there is someone reading this who is just an older version of myself and has experienced this painful grind to find the best solution while also satisfying the wants/needs of the employer.

Hey Mason,

I actually just finished a responsive site made entirely with Twitter Bootstrap. You can check it out at www.nantucketforyou.com I absolutely love building with this framework. I don't use Joomla with it. I just use Bootstrap. I highly recommend learning it. I love it. The tools they provide you with are great. You definetly need a handle on HTML and CSS to understand and use it to build.
