- -Core CSS
-Global styles for the body, Normalize, links, grid system, tables, forms, buttons, icons, and more.
-Components
-Basic styles for common interface components like tabs and pills, navbar, alerts, page headers, and more. Head here to see what kind of custom components Bootstrap has to offer beyond basic HTML elements.
-JavaScript plugins
-Similar to Components, these JavaScript plugins are interactive components for things like tooltips, popovers, modals, and more.

Responsive features in IE8
-Internet Explorer 8 lacks support for media queries, the method by which we deliver responsive CSS to folks. To enable that, you need to include a third party tool (which we include in the project repository) called Respond.js.
