Hi.
Is flexbox layout official css3 property or is it only a draft? should i learn it to make responsive websites? If I already know bootstrap, is there any necessity to learn flexbox layout?

I visited the above website before posting here. I was not looking for flexbox tutorial. Rather, I wanted to know if there is any need of flexbox if I already know bootstrap. I am waiting for a proper reply.
Thanks.

As far as I am aware, bootstrap does not yet have classes that support flexbox. So if you need flexbox capabilities, then bootstrap alone may not suffice. The question is, then, do you need capabilities that bootstrap does not have, or does it accomplish what you need?

In any case understanding flexbox for the future is a good idea.

Flexbox is currently supported in all major browsers: http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox

It is certainly worth to learn flexbox (as well as other related CSS properties) if you are into mobile development. Bootstrap is a great framework for developing responsive websites, but it's not a panaceum that solves every problem and works in every case.

I am really amazed how flexbox aided me making a fully responsive navigation menu. It was pixel perfect.
