The last few days I have been working with Twitter Bootstrap and creating a site on my local machine that can be found on my GitHub account. This project was to serve a couple of purposes, get familiar with Twitter Bootstrap, Git, GitHub and start working toward updating the hideous home page at ronaldsnyder.net.
I have had a bit of a learning curve with Git but not unexpected learning something new. I am only committing things right now and haven't had to do any pulls or branching. One tip I will relay is that if you are using a graphical text editor in Linux that you should put *~ in your gitignore file. I was having a hard time with getting two files for each page I edited, one with a tilde at the end. I believe this is because it is the backup version used by the text editor. Adding the *~ fixed that problem. I am still a bit clumsy with Git but it is getting easier day by day.
The next step in this project is going to be installing a Django site on my local machine and using the framework to create an app using the Twitter Bootstrap. I have no idea how to do this or what Django is capable of helping. This should be a great opportunity to get some more comfort with both Bootstrap and Django.
I will be documenting this process and posting about it here.
