What steps should I take to establish an efficient folder organization system for a website utilizing HTML, CSS, and Javascript with Twitter Bootstrap?

After cloning the latest release of Twitter Bootstrap using Git with the command 'git clone git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git', I am in the process of creating an HTML/CSS site utilizing Bootstrap. Upon reviewing this answer on Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/a/17180420), I discovered that all necessary HTML and CSS documentation is both included and pre-compiled within the download.

So, if I wish to implement various aspects from the provided examples into my HTML site, can I simply copy and paste the required HTML/CSS/Javascript code from the downloaded folders? For instance, if I want to incorporate 'navbar.html', 'carousel.js', along with other code snippets, what would be the recommended approach for organizing the folder structure to ensure everything works smoothly?

What are some best practices for structuring a folder system when designing an HTML/CSS/Javascript website with the use of Twitter Bootstrap? Where should I begin to establish an efficient directory arrangement for easy access and seamless integration of different components?

Answer №1

Here is my approach to setting up the code.

I always make sure to include the CSS at the top and jQuery at the bottom. Additionally, I add the Bootstrap CSS before any custom CSS files and ensure that the jQuery JS file (if used) comes before any custom JS files.

It's important to have the jQuery library loaded in your project.
