Twitter Bootstrap with Spring MVC - spring-mvc

I'd like integrate Twitter Bootstrap with an existing Spring MVC Project. Search returns abstract results with no tutorials or articles that outlines how to integrate the UI focused Bootstrap with Spring MVC.
What are the the steps in terms of configuration involved to integrate the frameworks?
Thanks

Twitter Bootstrap is a framework for CSS elements, and also some popup and HTML tricks. You can simply put your bootstap.css, jquery.js and bootstrap.js into your existing Spring MVC JSP pages. There is no secret to using both together; it's quite simple.
You can take a look in those examples. They may be useful to you.
Example 1 - priyatam's GitHub Spring MVC bootstrap showcase. This is a good one, a complete project and ready to run
Example 2 - Duckranger's Spring MVC and Twitter Bootstap
Remember that Spring MVC will provide to you all data (via JSON or Model attributes) to build yout HTML file. Bootstrap will only personalize the theme of your page and, sometimes, calling Spring MVC REST endpoints to get Ajax data.

this is a good easy tutorial show you how you can integrate a bootstrap to an existing Spring MVC project

How do I install VueJS 3.0 in my Multi-Page App?

At this moment, I am getting confused day by day. VueJs 2x was fun, we could use it as a library like react (just plug in and get going, on any existing multi page site) by setting up build tool prior to coding... Assuming we're choosing the build tool route.
Has VueJs3 taken the Angular route of focusing more on building a framework more than a library?
I am asking this question, as I have been trying to research on how to set it(VueJs 3x) up on my existing multi-page app as a library. All tutorials seem to inform about setting up a "Vue app" with build tool (vite) using npm init vue#latest like one is building a complete SPA app.
My Multi-Page App is build on Asp.Net Core Razor pages, and all pages are Razor based .cshtml, And npm init vue#latest assumes one will load the app using the generated index.html which is not ideal for my case as pages are .cshtml.
Is there any Tutorials I can use to learn more about using VueJS 3.0 on an existing MPA like a php, django or any other MPA apps?
You are correct, they are moving towards a framework and you will have to have their CLI to use Vue 3x. You wouldn't be able to use Vue 3x unfortunately on asp.net but you can use Angular.js or Knockout.js (I prefer Angular.js when using asp.net razor pages)

Migrating from Asp.Net Webforms to Aurelia

I've inherited an Asp.Net webapplication using webform, and are trying to find out how to best migrate this to a more modern architecture.
I've decided to use Asp.Net Core for my new backend (moving existing logic into this new Asp.Net Core project), and I'd really like using Aurelia for my client-side logic/views.
What I'd like to do is to replace existing functionality "one-by-one" with Aurelia components communicating with the new backend.
The problem is how to bootstrap the application without Aurelia "forcing" app.html to be the initial page.
I'd like to keep the current startup page, site structure and routing, and just develop components in Aurelia that I can add to the existing webform pages.
I'm totally new to Aurelia, so please be gentle if there is an obvious answer to my question. ;-)
Regards,
Jon S.
Thanks to a member of the Aurelia Community, I was able to locate this in the docs:
http://aurelia.io/hub.html#/doc/article/aurelia/framework/latest/app-configuration-and-startup/8
...which is exactly what I was looking for!

Design a CMS site using ASP.NET MVC 5

I'm building a site which mainly has articles and I'm using ASP.NET MVC 5 framework. I want to have an admin page where I can add, edit these article content.
I'm having a problem with designing the structure of this project.
I'm thinking of having a controller class called 'adminController', where I handle all the requests related to content management.
Is that approach conceptually correct in ASP.NET MVC? Because If this was an ASP web forms project, I would simply have two different projects called Public and Admin in a single solution.
I'm quite new to ASP.NET MVC framework and I'd appreciate any help.
You can do 2 separate projects and can do one.
Since ASP.NET MVC 4 whe have Areas and i suggest you to use it if you want structure your project and separate admin logic from public.
Here is a tutorial that you can check that explain whar areas is and how you can work with them.

ASP.NET MVC 4 Templates

I want to know if there is such concept in MVC4 (or other versions) like "Theme". I'am a total newbie using MVC, but I have some experience making simple Wordpress websites, using cool themes available on the web. Is there a way to get themes for my MVC project? I mean, some custom views and CSS, that can help with front-end.
this link will help you. You can plug these into your MVC app to get you going bootstrap skins

Do I need ASP.NET MVC 5 SPA template?

I want to build responsive SPA web application. I followed old paradigms before and the way it is supposed to be done nowadays is not very familiar to me, so sorry if my question seems unadequate.
Now I'm trying to understand the motivation behind this MVC 5 SPA template: why would I need to use MVC and Web API in one application?
My app will not act as a service. I can simply return JSON from my action methods. If in my case it is absolutely not neccessary, what factors could change the situation in favor of using both WebAPI and MVC at the same time?
You don't have to but it is useful.
I'm usually using MVC for
generating initial html file for my SPA through index.cshtml
(bundles + some customization of initial html code)
generating dynamic JavaScript code (usually for something like configuration angular modules)
Web API or OData kicks in aferwards providing endpoints for your favourite SPA framework (angular / knockout etc.) returning json or even xml if you need.
