"We horizontally centered the content with a .col.lg-6 .col-offset-3." It could do with explanation of or links to what that means. As it is, ".col.lg-6 .col-offset-3" meaning "horizontally centered" is completely opaque to newcomers.
what are you projected timelines for your book? I need to learn Bootstrap "properly" for a project, sometime in the next 6-12 months, and wondering whether your book will be around in time!
One of my biggest complaints with Bootstrap is the grid system (classes or mixins) and the very strict hierarchy of container > row > columns. I find this pattern leads to a lot more extraneous elements than I would like. I'd compare this to [Bourbon Neat]( http://neat.bourbon.io/ ) (which I've only looked over) and [Foundation's grid]( http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html ) mixins which seem to be mu…
The timing of this post is fortuitous, as I'm looking at building a landing page and had a long discussion last night with a front-end developer about using Bootstrap to do it. He's urging me to use Foundation instead. I haven't developed production level front-end code for years, and Bootstrap looks like a quick and easy way to get something up that doesn't look like arse (instead, it looks like Bootstrap). But I am…

Honestly don't get why people can't just use CSS for something like this. Talk about over-engineering

This is the exact thing I'm talking about. Try doing that without a container as a top-level container so you actually have: Besides what, semantically speaking, is a wrapper anyways?
And what is a div, semantically speaking? Wrapper is the same, only with class attached for identification/styling purposes.
Bootstrap's grid styles use negative margins and other weirdnesses that make them awkward if not used exactly as they were intended to be. If that's fine for what you're doing great, but I found Foundation's grid easier to use as a result of it's different design.
Last week I switched my project to customized Bootstrap 3. It has lots of useful features compared to previous version and it has a flat UI look and feel. In your example, I would use a larger side margin around the text. Otherwise, it lacks a bit of spacing.

I don't know why people say Bootstrap is "bloated" and Foundation is not. They are pretty similar, in fact the Foundation CSS has a larger footprint (86kb vs 65kb). I think people say it because Foundation feels more "raw" but this is not a selling point in my opinion. In fact I find that Foundation's biggest flaw is that it's components don't look that hot. I will also agree Bootstrap is a quick and easy way to get…
