What would I edit this with? Are there any tools recommended?
Notepad is the #tester_approved option. Although it's not stated in the documentation, I find that it works perfectly well for .css and .php files as well as the .html and .js files mentioned. Also great for any .xml (e.g. for RSS feeds) or related files, such as .gpx, .kml and Garmin .tcx for navigation, .svg graphics, .xslt for web page formatting, and even .dxf and .iges CAD files and CAM G-Code. In fact, there are literally hundreds of file types which Notepad can edit :-)

Can anyone explain Bootstrap to me?
From my - admittedly brief - experience, it appears to be a responsive front end framework.
Would like something fairly idiot proof where I see more front end changes happening live rather than a page of code.
I'm not sure Bootstrap gives you this - I think it's more for devs who want to get a load of utility and style stuff for free, and then wire it together as they see fit. Using vi, no doubt.
I'm kidding about vi.

Welcome to the beginning of the rabbit hole.
Use Sublime Text to edit.
Look up Node.js - install globally and locally (in the file for your website).
Look up Gulp
Use Gulp to Serve and Watch.
Serve creates a local server.
Watch watches your designated files for any changes and auto updates the page.Bootstrap will give you the HTML and CSS files for a stock website, you can just edit the parts you need.

Can anyone explain Bootstrap to me?
I usually use wordpress based themes with web-based builders (think Elegant Themes' Divi) but thought I'd try something new for a project and found a bootstrap theme to get me started.
I downloaded a theme from wrapbootstrap which is essentially a folder contained various html files and some css stuff.
What would I edit this with? Are there any tools recommended? I have Dreamweaver with me CC subscription but I haven't used it for years. Would like something fairly idiot proof where I see more front end changes happening live rather than a page of code. If this ain't bootstrap then don't be afraid to say and I'll head back to Wordpress/other.
