I am not into web development of any kind, I picked up this book just out of curiosity.

The books gives a comprehensive coverage of all the features of the Bootstrap framework and a lot of sample code. Now that Bootstrap version 4 is released, I’m not sure if this book is still relevant. Nevertheless once you get an idea about the framework, it wouldn’t be difficult to adapt to the new version.
