# COWHIDE
+Cowhide is an HTML5 UI framework built on top of Twitter Bootstrap.
+It takes advantage of Bootstrap's modularity both with regards to JavaScript
+plugins and CDD style.
+
+Bootstrap's JavaScript components are written as jQuery plugins, in a very
+minimal way, and that makes it easy to work with them.
+
+Bootstrap's strength resides in its CSS styles, created using the LESS
+language.
+
+Cowhide encapsulates Bootstrap's components and extend their functionality,
+and implements its own new UI widgets as well.
+
+
