I was thinking that I should perfactly learn bootstrap because it makes easy and responsive design of your application. I don't need a designer to create template for me and consistent look. Bootstrap provide a couple of additional .less files, and @importthem in bootstrap.less. I use one for variables, imported right below variables.less and one for classes, imported at the end of the boostrap.less list. This way, I ensure that I can override both variables and classes.
When I implement bootstratp2 with MVC than UI code makes more lengthy . I add lot of span and div so I download twitterbootstrapmvc and it makes easy development for me. This time all this are open source and free.
But now we have bootstrap 3 (css +js) that is free and open source so we can use it and modify it. But again it makes more lengthy UI design so we need to download twitterbootstrapmvc but this time it is paid and I think, Bootstrap price($59.99) is not a reasonable price so I am not using it further. What happen when Dmitry A. Efimenko decide it more high price. What do you think?
I should be continuing with this while I am not using it any commercial application?

I am kind of lost. Bootstrap is Free, and TwitterBootstrapMVC is also Free. So what is the problem?
Also I don't see how Bootstrap makes the UI code lengthy, you just need to learn using the bootstrap properly. When we were using Bootstrap for our ASP.Net MVC Web Application, we had created a set of custom scaffolding templates for CRUD Views, which was utilizing the Bootstrap. It was easy to implement and very fast to use.
I would suggest you to properly learn take a closer look at the Bootstrap 3 and ditch the TwitterBootstrapMVC. IMHO You should not rely on something that is already relying on something else, specially when both the things are open-source and free.

Exactly, even worse what will happen when they stopped supporting it, or close down the project. These are the risks you take when you use someone else's code/work for free. Goes for every open-source project.
To avoid this, we have created our own custom-css / javascript to support responsive design in our ASP.Net MVC Web Application. Trust me the CSS3 + Media-Queries are not that complex to learn.
Also our in-house alternative works much better since we are the one who have developed it for ourselves. Now we are not relying on bootstrap, and the best part is one less framework to chase when they release a new version.

Oh! I missed that. You are right, that price is ridiculous. Just ditch that and use the Bootstrap directly.
I still think that the UI Code required by Bootstrap is not lengthy. Take a look.[^]
Just put some extra efforts in creating a set of Custom Scaffolding Templates using Bootstrap. And it will be very simple to use.

It is ok with APS.NET Web Form but what do you think about ASP.NET MVC where you need lot of span and div tags?
|

I was talking about the ASP.Net MVC only.
Yes, there are few more Divs than usual, but they are not 'a lot'. Also the default views in MVC 5 are much more cleaner than MVC 3/4. So the key is to create a clean scaffolding template using Bootstrap for MVC 5.
And if you don't want to create the templates by yourself. Download[^] this nuget package and customize it. But this is again just like your previous experience, depending upon something that is relying on something else.

It was. That author is CP member. Initially it was free but later not. We just noticed that some new members're posted questions(regarding license) in Q/A section & the article's forum. Now that article marked has been deleted.

I was about to start learning that but unfortunately that's not free anymore.

Hi.
I'm going to buy a Lumia phone. One of my friend suggested me Nokia Lumia 1320.
Can you guys plz add your inputs & suggestions.
Thanks.
Mohammed Hameed.

1320 is a nice phone. The screen has bit lower resolution when comparing with the screen-size (same thing with the 625), but other than that it's a good device.
I would suggest you to spend 6-7k Rupees more and consider 925. It's a very nice phone, also it has a perfect manageable screen-size and a great camera. (IMO: 1320 / 1520 are big phones, but that's a personal preference).
I you are not much into the gaming (< 1 GB ram), 720 is a nice budget phone with a long lasting battery life (2 full days on a single charge).
And if you want to consider cheaper Android phone, take a look at the Moto G. (much better than the cheaper and terrible Samsung galaxy phone lineup)

I haven't seen any for it; but reviews of it's high end sibling the 1520 complained that instead of being an all more small stuff for young geeks with good eyes or an all large print for old people phablet that WP8 ended up being a mishmash of the two paradigms that was unlikely to make either group happy. Supposedly the next WP update is going to fix this; but I'd be cautious about buying a WP8 phablet until I knew which way they went (or if they made it user configurable).

"On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other."

I think they're delusional. A downlink only service is going to be limited to the same sort of push only content as traditional media. And while they talk about adding a future uplink capability for phones/tablets, the significantly higher power levels required (vs cellular service are why modern satellite phones have form factors that look more like a 20 year old brickphone than a last generation dumbphone while having talk times that are much shorter than anything else that's been in the market in a long time, make the idea implausible at best.

 I'm missing something... Does anybody understand how this wood (pun intended) be appealing?
http://news.msn.com/science-technology/how-the-internet-of-things-could-make-media-physical-again
I prefer to remove clutter from my life and not have to keep track of wooden tiles. I say throw them in the pellet stove and be done with it.
Now maybe if the medium was a little cooler... like the crystals Superman used in the fortress of solitude. That has a coolness factor, but scrabble tiles... I don't think so.

It'd be appealing to anyone who's afraid for the word "virtual". It's useless, but at least it's physical.
