You get a lot more bang for your buck with Bootstrap as you get all the responsive helpers and layout classes.
It's easy to customise too, so long as you get the LESS source (available on NuGet) rather than just including the Boootstrap CSS file (you'll end up unpicking loads of CSS in your own CSS file if you just use that).
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I'd rather use a chainsaw on it personally, last time I used it was attempting to deploy it in Senelager, Germany as a spotty youth.

Using MVC or MVP (or MVVM) patterns for desktop applications has been quite an improvement over putting everything into the codebehind. This way I had a big increase in maintainability of the frontends.
Web development is so unbelievably slow, awkward and clumsy that I also can't see why somebody would really like doing it. The best web applications are those that need no browser.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I had a hell of a time with datepicker and the formatting of it.
I'm sure you already know about display templates but this[^] is a pretty good source.

Yeah, I encountered display templates while trying to finger out my datepicker issues. Now that I have datepicker fingered out, I'm gonna try using the bootstrap version - not because I think it will be better, but because I like fighting the same freakin battles over and over again.

I found bootstrap widgets easier to work with but some like the datepicker are a pain in the ass.

It's Spring and time to jettison items I have not used in years. A long, long time ago, I had my first contact with Windows, ActiveX controls and Microsoft's incessant renaming of tech items. Sitting on my desk are two books about COM and COM+ development (MS books). I also have one for C# 2.0, and an original Code Complete. Now I know the last one is somewhat of a collector's item, but I barely if ever cracked open the COM books.
Anyone else here have trouble letting go of books? Anyone interested in these books?

1) Are you using it?
2) If not, is it making money?
3) If not, do you love it?
No? Time to toss it.

I have that and the manual of the Amstrad 386 PC that had it on board, both of them with the same cover design. I'll never let go of them... as I still have a battered copy of PC No Problem, year 1995.

Yes I hate pitching old books, even ones I never use. Just a thing I guess.
Last time I moved I took a car load of them to the local library and dropped them. There were probably about 50 books most of the real old ones I pitched and the ones that I dropped were newer and the kind that are time agnostic so to speak.

#1 Rule of den2k88's household: never toss books;
#2 Rule of den2k88's household: there is no such thing as a useless book;
#3 Rule of den2k88's household: there is no concept such as there are too many books.

I believed that, until I had to move and worked out how heavy 5000-odd paperbacks can be...

That's why we bought a 400 square meters house now I'm moving on my own in a smaller rented apartment and the books are actually the heaviest part, besides some of the furniture. But I regret nothing *_*

I had a big box of ttl data books from signetics and ti.
Along with various manuals like qemm.
I thought wow, this is going to wig out any "normal" that finds these.
I had a hard time getting rid of them. But I did.
