Using ASP.NET MVC 5 with the default Bootstrap template? Good links to get you started

With ASP.NET MVC version 5, Microsoft chose to use the Bootstrap HTML/CSS framework for page (view) layouts. This is a good modern choice, as the template is inherently mobile-first. This means that the same HTML can support mobile devices, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs by simply correctly using the provided CSS styles.

Of course, if you are new to Bootstrap, then this leads to the question, how do you correctly use these styles? Luckily, good information is provided on the Bootstrap web site, with nice examples and reference documentation.

Here are the most useful links to get you up to speed:
