This document summarizes and compares CSS preprocessor tools Sass and LESS. Both tools allow for variables, mixins, nested rules and other features to aid in writing CSS in a more modular way. Sass uses the SCSS syntax which is a CSS superset, while LESS uses its own syntax. Both compile to plain CSS. The Compass framework is also mentioned, which builds on Sass and provides reusable components and a workflow for building CSS.
Sass is a scripting language that is interpreted into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). SassScript is the scripting language itself. Sass consists of two syntaxes. The original syntax, called "the indented syntax", uses a syntax similar to Haml.
Many fall into the habit of writing poor CSS, often due to a lack of structure. Here I present some common pitfalls, and tips by which to overcome them.
Bringing sexy back to CSS: SASS/SCSS, LESS and CompassClaudina Sarahe
Slide from a presentation given at 2011 Design for Drupal in Boston about two popular CSS extensions and Compass with a focus on how they integrate in Drupal environment. The goal is to present and overview of Sass and LESS in order to drive front-end developers to abandon plain old CSS. Compass is talked about as the reason to use Sass over LESS.
HTML5, CSS, JavaScript Style guide and coding conventionsKnoldus Inc.
Coding conventions are style guidelines for any programming language. As, we are growing ourselves rapidly in learning new technology, the need for learning of the coding standards and conventions for the same language also arises.
So, here let us try to learn some coding guidelines for few frontend languages.
CSS Processors have continually increased in usage for years. New tools and ways of automating styles have emerged along with mature tools establishing themselves into our workflow. With this, it’s easy to get lost among these tools. This talk will help to give a gentle introduction to stylesheets processors (pre and post) - what they do, how they help you and how to use them.
Managing responsive websites with css preprocessors presented at Penn State Webconference Tuesday June 23, 2015. Sass and Less preprocessors simplify managing css for responsive websites.
Sassive Aggressive: Using Sass to Make Your Life Easier (Refresh Boston Version)Adam Darowski
Sass, which stands for "Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets", is a meta-language that provides simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS. Joel Oliveira and Adam Darowski will explain how Sass can improve your CSS-wrangling quality of life. They will explain what Sass is, what the benefits are, and go through some step-by-step examples of how you can put it to use in your own workflow.
Sass is an extension of CSS3 that adds power and elegance to the basic language. It allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. (With a little help from Ruby) This talk will cover an overview of what Sass is, how to get it, run it, and use it, and show some examples of its magic.

From PSD to WordPress Theme: Bringing designs to lifeDerek Christensen
If you want to design your first custom WordPress theme, this talk is for you. You’ve been venturing out little by little, changing some CSS here and HTML there. You’ve even created a child theme or two. But now it’s time to take things to the next level. You want something that’s all yours!
You convinced your friend put together a design for you in Photoshop, and now it’s time to take the next step. How do you get that beautiful concept to translate into a living, breathing WordPress theme?
That’s what we’ll cover in this action-packed presentation geared toward the curious beginner and intermediate WordPress fans.
A Little Graph Theory for the Busy Developer - Jim Webber @ GraphConnect Chic...Neo4j
In this talk we'll explore powerful analytic techniques for graph data. Firstly we'll discover some of the innate properties of (social) graphs from fields like anthropology and sociology. By understanding the forces and tensions within the graph structure and applying some graph theory, we'll be able to predict how the graph will evolve over time. To test just how powerful and accurate graph theory is, we'll also be able to (retrospectively) predict World War 1 based on a social graph and a few simple mechanical rules.
Then we'll see how graph matching can be used to extract online business intelligence (for powerful retail recommendations). In turn we'll apply these powerful techniques to modelling domains in Neo4j (a graph database) and show how Neo4j can be used to drive business intelligence.
Don't worry, there won't be much maths :-)
The Strength of Indirect Relations in Social Networksmosabou
Here, our goal is to develop a formal analysis of dual network structures taking into account transitive completions of higher order than the usually considered triadic closure, i.e., allowing quadruple closure and any other higher order transitive completion of open n-paths traversing two dual social networks. In this way, a sequence of indirect relations might be gen- erated in each social network, right next to the inherent direct relations in these networks. For this purpose, we introduce the setting of a “dual social network system” and we discuss how this setting might be produced in empirical situations, in which social networks are composed or partitioned in terms of various forms of actors’ categorizations from an attributional, attitudinal, typological or structural point of view. Furthermore, we are concerned with the issue of adjusting the concepts of Granovetter’s thesis on the strength of the weak ties to the case of direct and (any order) indirect relations in such dual social network systems.

How To Interact With Your Front End Developer
Neo4j is a powerful and expressive tool for storing, querying and manipulating data. However modeling data as graphs is quite different from modeling data under a relational database. In this talk, Michael Hunger will cover modeling business domains using graphs and show how they can be persisted and queried in Neo4j. We'll contrast this approach with the relational model, and discuss the impact on complexity, flexibility and performance.
Still there are some controversies about whether precompiling CSS is a good or a bad idea. Sometimes this leads to fights, struggles and name-calling. This talk is almost clean of it.
I'll show examples of "SASS" and "Compass"" from his day-to-day work and what you can do if you unleash the power of preprocessing.
What is Basic?
Basic was originally developed for client projects. Originally a stripped down version of the ZEN theme, basic has now become its own concept of a theme starter. Basic boasts a clean HTML structure with extensible CSS classes and ID's for unlimited theming possibilities as well as a top-down load order for improved SEO.
Basic's goal is to provide themers the building blocks needed to get their designs up and running quickly and simply.
What is SASS?
Sass is a meta-language on top of CSS that’s used to describe the style of a document cleanly and structurally, with more power than flat CSS allows. Sass both provides a simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS and implements various features that are useful for creating manageable stylesheets.
What will I Learn?
We will guide you through using Basic with SASS and Compass to kick-start your next Drupal theming project and show you how easy it is to get started. We will also cover the syntax and file structure of using SASS and how to get your development environment up

CSS met Less :: Hoe begin ik? - een presentatie gegeven door Hans Kuijpers tijdens Joomladagen 2013 te Woudschoten, Zeist. #jd13nl
De eerste keer werken met CSS gaf me dezelfde kriebels als nu werken met LESS. Het maakt je leven zo veel makkelijker!
An overview of key CSS concepts that are often misunderstood. These are things I wish somebody had sat me down and explained when I was just getting started.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
