Yeah if you're doing a course, keep at it for sure. I'm doing a Java one, which lacks any website stuff, but in the last I've done several html/css/bootstrap portions of different Udemy courses, so I at least have a good handle on those things. I agree using something like bootstrap feels like cheating, I did too. I think it all depends on what your end goal is.

I've had people over on devRant tell me to avoid Bootstrap as much as possible. Curious, is it a beginners thing?!

Hmm. There are a lot of businesses that use bootstrap, so it is definitely useful to learn, especially if you wind up working somewhere that is using it. Most courses don't get heavy into css etc because A: unless you decide to be a designer, you're probably not going to be dealing with plain old css as much (or want to, lol).

That's good. I guess taking different perspectives will help me figure out some middle ground. Cheers.
