About this episode

Bart Busschots demonstrates how to customize Bootstrap pages using CSS Variables.

In our previous installment, Bart taught us how to use CSS "Variables" to style our web pages and web apps. In this installment, he takes it up a notch by showing us how to start with a Bootstrap-enabled page, and still customize the colors, fonts, and more with CSS "Variables". You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net .
