Don't reinvent the wheel, stand on the shoulders of giants! One of the best things to come into the Front End Developers arsenal in a while is the beautiful and powerful UI framework Bootstrap, baked together by the boys at Twitter. Let me show you how our team at OMBU web rewrote Drupal's native markup to align with the markup expected from Bootstrap in our module Boots, so that when the Bootstrap CSS is present the Drupal tabs look like Bootstrap tabs, the Drupal pager looks like the Bootstrap pager, and the native submit buttons are the Bootstrap submit buttons! No longer will you have a site where the designer crafted a great looking site but forgot to style the pager and it renders using native Drupal styles and looks out of place and cruddy. Additionally, there're a ton of wonderfully thought-out elements to build your site in a creative and unique way.
