Which CSS Framework are Employers looking for most?

Hi Micah,

well this is a really good question :). Today there are a lot of css frameworks you can work with (and your should learn). By now knowing bootstrap is a must have for a front-end web dev => you can build the integration of your web site with it but you can also use it with front end frameworks like Angular (the ng bootstrap library)

An other good CSS framework you can learn is bulma . It is a very lightweight framework you can use with React JS applications.

In conclusion I suggest you to see how you can use Bootstrap with Sass (how to overwrite some of its rules with a css pre-processor).

If you need anything else (ressources, advice and so on), please ask :).

Regards,

Thomas.

Frameworks come and go. I find it more important to focus on things like understanding CSS cascade and specificity. Where I work at (Think Company) we use both Sass and Less depending on what the client needs, so it is probably helpful to learn the ins and outs of those two things, and more about the fundamentals of writing good CSS.

Sometimes we run into a project where we need Bootstrap, other times it is Foundation we are using. Most of the time though we are writing our own styles entirely using tools like Autoprefixer and PostCSS to handle various things like prefixing. I guess the point I am trying to make is that depending on where you are working, you may use different tools, and most of those places are going to care more about how you write your CSS than which framework you use specifically. The documentation for BootStrap, Foundation, Bourbon, etc is great and plenty, so you'll be able to pick any of them up quickly. At the end of the day, they are all pretty much the same minus class names, extra JS functionality, and their approach to certain problems.
