I'm going to be developing a web site that will have some real-time and 
ajax functionality. I'm extremely interested in Bootstrap, but not sure it 
is well-adapted to my needs. I'm a complete newbie -- I've never created an 
entire web site before. I know the basics of HTML and Javascript (and am 
very well-versed in Python for the server side). I expect to be doing a lot 
of learning and studying in the upcoming days, and right now, I'm trying to 
decide what tools/frameworks will be the recipients of my attention. 
Bootstrap looks great, but if there are limitations that will cause me 
problems down the road, perhaps I should concentrate on something like 
JQuery UI instead.

For example, suppose I present a typeahead search box, and when the user 
settles on a string in the typeahead, a text area will be filled with some 
text, retrieved from the server in real time. Can you point me to info 
explaining a recommended way to achieve that in a Bootstrap context?

Also, I expect to have push elements for live updates of scores. I'm 
thinking about using PubNub for that, which has a jquery push API 
(http://www.pubnub.com/blog/jquery-push-api). Would there be any problem 
using that in the context of a Bootstrap-based site?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.
