Hi all,
From what I understood, we don't need rush to update to Bootstrap 4.
instead of that, we should evaluate how much benefits and impacts it
will deliver for the projects.
About Bootgrid vs Database.net, seems it is more aboit documentation and
support than using Bootstrap 4 or not.
Samuel, Chandra, could you compare those two widgets (Bootgrid and
Database.net) and check which one is better for our matters?
Regards,
Aline Manera
