Bootstrap Or Pure CSS? by Nobody: 6:43pm On Jun 16, 2020

Experts, which is better for a web development newbie?

I have been learning HTML, CSS and basic Javascript but while working on my new project, I encountered the need to use glyphicons that makes website more attractive to users.

Since last night, I've been unable to proceed with because I'm stuck with either learning bootstrap which I started yesterday but later felt it was too much of a cheat.

Is there a way I can make glyphicons for my own CSS?

Font awesome is a good option as this is where I get my icons.

Check most website, they use fontawesome.

CSS3 is all you need to create any layout of your choice. You can use free or paid icon to beautify it, depending on the website

@ThreeBlackBird,
I appreciate the mention, bro, but "expert" is a title that is still far ahead in my future.

In fact, you're probably further along than I am.

Coincidentally, I'm also trying to add a "search" icon (the lil magnifying glass thingy) to a search input div right now. I saw a number of options (including font awesome), but the 2 simplest - at least for my present CSS level - were something I got from StackOverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14017464/adding-search-icon-to-input-box

It's seems pretty simple and neat to me, and I can reuse the code with any other icon URL.

Its seems like Font Awesome is easier after all. I ended up using it.

I have decided to see my project through to a conclusion before trying it out. I'll try it out soon. Thanks.

How well have you been doing?

Instead of learning boostrap because you need glyphicons why not learn SVG to get most the icons you need or use libraries like font awesome,https://glyphsearch.com/(click on the class link and copy it ),iconshock.com,flaticon.com,etc all these icons for you in png,svg format. you dont need to learn boostrap for this but learn boostrap incase you want to do rapid prototyping or small project that dont need too much

calling bootstrap "too much of a cheat" just made me smile. made me remember when i started coding. i goggled things like php framework or real php, javascript framework or vanilla javascript, bootstrap or pure css.

My advice, learn the basics fast and move to frameworks, that is where you get real life experience and when you start building complex code structures, writing code for a button or coding gyphicons will be some of the most redundant things you will ever be doing. At most you will just write custom css untop of a css framework to give your work a unique layout. Programming is way more complex than coding basic things you really don't have to. Although i understand you are just learning.
