Checking the teacher's note, I noticed the link references don't go directly to the Bootstrap website. In fact, the documentation on getboostrap.com looks different and I can't really find the info Guil uses in the videos. What's the difference? Thx!

28,558 PointsThe difference is the version of bootstrap used, the current stable version of bootstrap is version 3, this is the version you will get if you go to the main bootstrap website, and that is the version the documentation on that website refers to.
The link in the teachers note on the other hands lead to the website for bootstrap version 4, which is an alpha version of bootstrap with some major changes from version 3, this is the version of bootstrap used in the course, and the documentation shown off and discussed in the course will also be for version 4.
This means that in order to follow along with the course you have to go to the v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com website both to download bootstrap and to look at the proper documentation.

8,897 PointsI am curious... why are we using the alpha version for learning since it's not stable enough for production?
