Bootstrap goes open source

⚠️ Bootstrap turns into Bootzooka⚠️

Today we have decided to open source one of our projects – Bootstrap. It’s a small application to demonstrate how to use AngularJS with Scalatra, based on the Scala language. You can find more about the technology stack in the project readme.

What is it?

Bootstrap is a showcase application to present many different features and mostly re-used patterns. It’s also an archetype project which can be used as a starting point for the development of a real application. It’s main goal is to show to the customer a working application in two weeks. This project is not only a source code, but much more – read further :)

As a business I want to …

If you are looking for a partner to help you build a dedicated solution for your business, you can consider our approach. Bootstrap was (and still is) created with one main goal in mind: allow to show the customer working application in just two weeks. You can say it’s not a problem, we can do it even faster – yes, probably you’re right – but the source code is not enough. Behind the source code there must be the whole infrastructure, procedures and a way of doing things. Bootstrap enables you to deliver all of this within a very short time. Your potential client gets convinced that your are able to develop the product he needs and it’s a perfect starting point for a detailed specification.

As a developer I want to …

So, I’m a developer, is there anything for me?

Of course, you can learn a lot, you can always ask us for help, to explain why we did that this way, why we used this or that library. As well you can help us improve the code base, you can show us a better solution to solve given issue. You can also contribute, it’s quite easy with GitHub – fork and prepare a pull request – for sure we will take it under consideration with next iteration planning

If you’re looking for a new job, it can also be a nice way to show us what you can do with your fingers. We’re looking for great coders and strong agilers – because as I said – code is not enough ## Why have we open sourced it?
