## Semantic UI
|
|
|
|
#### Introduction
|
|
|
|
Semantic UI is a front-end development framework similar to Bootstrap designed for theming. It contains pre-built semantic components which help create beautiful and responsive layouts using human-friendly HTML.
|
|
|
|
According to the Semantic UI website the framework utilizes concise HTML, intuitive JavaScript, and simplified debugging to make front-end development a fun and delightful experience. Semantic UI integrates with React, Angular, Meteor, Ember and many other frameworks to help organize UI layer alongside application logic.

|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.2.13/semantic.min.css">

|
|
</head>
|
