Does your webpage look like its from the 90's? Does it scale well on mobile devices or do you have to finger skate on your the mobile device to navigate the page? Or worse! Do you still not have a personal portfolio page? If the answer is yes, then its time create or update your webpage! With a front end framework like Twitter Bootstrap, you can make a quick upgrade to beautiful, modern and most importantly responsive design for your portfolio page.

The presentation will start with a brief overview of responsive design and Twitter Bootstrap and then continue with a live demonstration. We will download a Bootstrap starter template, customize the theme and content, build a static portfolio page and host it on a UMBC server.

A draft of the slides is available.

Disclaimer: The presenter is a front end noob and will very likely look like a deer in headlights when confronted with advanced css/js questions.
