I am going to start working on Luan for HTML.  Hugo, please list the HTML tools that you think I should look at.

The basic two pieces I need for a decent website is jquery and bootstrap.

Where can I find good documentation or a book on bootstrap?

I learned bootstrap by reading the documentation on their website. If you download the ZIP file, you will see it has three folders: css + fonts + js. We have to put that content available through Jetty so that we can import the CSS and JS files from the HTML pages.

On the page header we add:
<link rel="stylesheet" href=".../css/bootstrap.min.css">
At the end of the page we need jquery and bootstrap's JS file:
<script src=".../jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="..../js/bootstrap.min.js">
That's ALL you need to get started.

So, for example, if you need a dropdown on your page, check the example here:
http://getbootstrap.com/components/#dropdowns

Just copy and paste their example on your HTML and it will create the dropdown for you. So when we need a new component on the page, I just look at their documentation and tweak whatever code they provide as an example.

I see books on Amazon about bootstrap, but I never read them. There is a free PDF ebook here in case you want to read something extra: http://it-ebooks.info/book/2331/

The documentation on their website is horrible so I got a book.  The basic idea of a html/css framework makes sense but the interface is mediocre.  There are many similar frameworks out there, so I thought I would look for one that had the sense not to be hosted on GitHub and then compare it to Bootstrap.  After glancing at about 30 alternatives, all are on GitHub, so I will use Bootstrap.  I am reminded of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Alex isn't sure if he has the time for this.  Would Pedro be interested and can he do web design?
