django<-->twitter bootstrap philosophy

[Vincent Fulco]

Been thru the Django manual, bootstrap website instructions and other resources a few times so have working understanding of MVC structure.  However, the incorporation of bootstrap throwing me off a little.  Working on a ecommerce idea, for now plan is to create homepage  (using bootstrap) as a launchpad to other pages (using bootstrap) providing services for two different target audiences (producers and consumers of service).  Once at the second site(?), this is where the MVC comes in for login/registration/EULA agreements/data io, etc.

Is bootstrap considered to be substitute template for parts of the website then the django templating system takes up the rest?

Any trailheads for these concepts would be much appreciated.

TIA, V.

I think you have confused things a little. Bootstrap is a CSS framework, and makes it easy to style your pages, and includes a few javascript libraries. Django on the other hand, is an MVC as you mentioned. Bootstrap operates completely in the browser and handles only styling, and not templating. You can definitely include the bootstrap library in your templates, and use its classes to style your pages. Example.

I hope this clears your confusion.

Yes, thanks.  Templating remains the last piece of the puzzle I have yet to really work on and it wasn't clear how different it was from a framework.  Appreciate your explanation.  V.
