First you need to understand how joomla! works, then you need to understand how templates works, in this way you can properly create the solution you need. Check this info:

In joomla! you can use an extension for the slider, find many options in the extensions directory.

Extra, by default joomla! includes Bootstrap v2.3.2, so you can use the code in this library or
you can include other library or framework.
