Woohoo. Great timing. Just started re-doing this to learn 3.2. Do you inject bootstrap into the app or use Seyhunak's twitter-bootstrap-rails gem?

The book uses the excellent bootstrap-sass gem. I have personal assurances from the gem's author (tmcdonald) that he will keep it up-to-date with the latest changes in Bootstrap.

This is why I stick with Rails; for the mindshare. There are many reasons to be critical of Rails, but the bottom line is that other people generously contribute work like this on a regular basis, making me instantly more valuable to employers or clients.

I've been wanting to use Bootstrap with some other CSS syntaxes for awhile, and I was wondering how you manage the conversion from less to scss and stay up to date with the latest Bootstrap changes?

The previous thread on the new version of this tutorial had a few commenters (and votes) on updating it to use Bootstrap.

I've added a link to the relevant HN discussion. Also, lots of people on Twitter asked for a Bootstrap version.
