What is difference between Bootstrap, Twitter Boot

问题:

Can someone let me know what is the difference between Bootstrap, Twitter Bootstrap and Bootstrap 3?

回答1:

In the context of CSS frameworks, Bootstrap and Twitter Bootstrap are the same thing.

Bootstrap 3 is the third major version of Twitter Bootstrap. (When this question was asked, it had not been released yet.)

(There's another unrelated definition: to bootstrap a computer program or system can refer to running certain phases of early startup. It's often abbreviated as "booting", as in "booting up a computer". Wikipedia has an extensive definition and etymology which I won't reproduce here.)

回答2:

As Bootstrap came from the 2 famous guys at Twitter, hence sometimes it's called Twitter Bootstrap. Bootstrap 3 is the latest version.(I guess version 4 is on its way).

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

Bootstrap, originally named Twitter Blueprint, was developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at Twitter as a framework to encourage consistency across internal tools. Before Bootstrap, various libraries were used for interface development, which led to inconsistencies and a high maintenance burden.

回答3:

There's no difference. Twitter Bootstrap was the official name for version 1.0 (Twitter Bootstrap). Later the name has been shortened.

Bootstrap that you have tagged has a description A bootstrap is a series of procedures run when an application starts up or a request over the web is received.
