There is a single answer to all similar questions, you didn't started math at school from graph theory, isn't it?

Fundament first, rest second.

You can't be a Web developer without the knowledge of such core technology of the Web as CSS (Others are HTML and JS). And today I will tell you more, not just CSS3, but CSS4 (Future CSS, CSS Next, CSS Modules Level 4). Moreover without CSS, grid layout and CSS architecture you won't be able to understand and to use Bootstrap.

Bootstrap is a framework and you have to "deep learn" first:

• What are Web Standards, W3C, where to find them and how to read them
• CSS itself
• What a framework is
• How to build own grid framework (using float, using flexboxes, using future grid spec) - you can easily google short tutorials and try to build own framework.
• CSS architecture and different methodologies such as ITCSS and BEM.
• Node.js basics and SASS - with Bootstrap 4 and many other projects this will be your main tool, so master it, however, I believe in the nearest future PostCSS+CSSNext will become more popular.
• SVGs, base64

To keep in touch with the latest CSS features I recommend http://cssnext.io/ which is a Post-CSS all-in-one plugin covering all the newest features and upcoming ones.
