About this episode

Bart teaches how to use CSS 'variables' to style web pages with Bootstrap.

In this very fun installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use CSS “variables”, which aren’t actually variables (they’re custom properties). These non-variables allow you to take advantage of Bootstrap to style web pages, but make the look and feel all your own. Bart outdid himself on the shownotes, the examples, and the challenge looks super fun. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net .
