The outdated bootstrap info makes this harder to learn from. I'm afraid it needs an update

Very interesting. By the time I took the course Bootstrap 4 had been released but the assignements and examples are still done using Bootstrap 3.Overall, I'm enjoying the specialization very much. Thank you!
