Twitter Bootstrap

When I downloaded Bootstrap, it doesn't have the files described in the video in the frontend development stage. I put the whole js directory in the js dir in the app, same with the css, it broke the app, It suddenly threw some sort of routing error. Please help.

Just so you know as well, Bootstrap 3.0 was released in July/August. And the tutorials use Bootstrap version 2.0

You can still find that here: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/

Or try to upgrade to 3.0 and know that you will have to investigate the differences yourself.

Thank you. I downloaded that version, now if I can just get back to my working app, I'd be able to move on.

I'm working on that series myself and just came here for help as well.. there was a lot of changes with Bootstrap 3, pretty much none of the classes that you apply to your html will work, you really have to read the documentation while pausing the Treehouse vids. Which is okay, it's good to know Bootstrap 2.0 and 3.0, but it does make this series very difficult, at least the CSS and formatting part. I might be a little wrong, but this is what I'm picking up on 3 vids into the styling section.

Yeah if you go to the old bootstrap link. You can search their documentation to see what bootstrap 3 changed. If you're sticking with bootstrap, it's best to learn what they changed and go with it.

This is very handy if you want to use the newest bootstrap:

[http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#migration]

This table gives the new names for all the stuff that used to be called something else. span is now called col-md and so on.
