Sass is a CSS pre-processor that adds advanced features like nesting, variables, mixins, inheritance and extends. It has two syntaxes: SCSS, which is similar to CSS, and the indented syntax which does not use brackets or semicolons. To use Sass, Ruby must be installed along with the Sass gem. Compass is an optional framework that adds features like a watch system and custom mixins. Sass allows nesting rules, using variables, creating reusable styles with mixins, importing partial files, extending styles for DRY code, and performing operations.
Dallas Drupal Days 2012 - Introduction to less sass-compassChris Lee
This document provides an introduction to Less, Sass, and Compass, which are CSS preprocessors. It discusses prerequisites including a strong understanding of CSS and familiarity with control structures and variables. The goals are to understand the high-level purpose of preprocessing languages and learn how to get started using them. Methods for using Less, Sass, and Compass with Drupal are presented, including modules and command line tools. Key concepts demonstrated include variables, mixins, importing, and frameworks like Compass. The document encourages questions and provides additional learning resources.
SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) is a CSS pre-processor that allows for nesting, variables, mixins and other powerful features to help write cleaner, more maintainable CSS. It helps achieve the DRY principle by eliminating repeated code and allowing logical structuring. Some key SASS features include nesting, variables and scopes, mixins, extends and interpolation. SASS files are compiled to normal CSS files for use in browsers. Using SASS can help large development teams work on CSS in a more organized and efficient way.
This is the first of three presentations detailing the front end optimization of goodtoknow.co.uk. Part one describes how we refactored the CSS, part two will address the HTML structure and implementation of Behat tests, and part three will contend with image optimization specifically addressing data URI’s and sprites.

Sass and Compass Workshop slides discuss:
1. Why Sass and Compass should be used including keeping stylesheets DRY, easier revisions, and creating style frameworks.
2. Sass allows variables, nesting, functions and other features that make CSS more powerful, manageable and reusable.
3. Nesting rules in Sass avoids repetition by nesting selectors within one another like CSS rules.
SASS (Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets) is a CSS pre-processor that allows for nested rules, variables, mixins and more to extend the functionality of CSS. It compiles into regular CSS. Key features include nesting rules to reduce repetition, using variables to define common values for reuse, and creating mixins for commonly used CSS patterns or properties. SASS also allows for logic and functions. COMPASS is an open-source framework built on SASS that provides pre-made mixins and modules for common CSS patterns to simplify development.
This document summarizes a technical session on Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets (Sass). The session objectives are to introduce Sass and its advantages over regular CSS, demonstrate its features like variables, nesting, mixins and extends, and how to use Sass with Compass. The document provides examples of Sass code and the corresponding CSS output for these features. It also explains how to install Sass via command line or applications and set up a Compass project.

This document introduces Sass (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets), a CSS preprocessor. Sass allows writing clean CSS in a programming construct rather than static rules, reducing repetition and creating more manageable stylesheets. It features variables, nesting, mixins, partials, and inheritance. Installing Sass involves downloading Ruby and using the gem install command. Key benefits of Sass include writing cleaner CSS, faster development time, and programmatic features like variables and nesting.
Rob Walker from Papertrail takes us through his recent journey from regular CSS to SCSS. If you’re thinking of making the switch yourself and just need a little push, this is the talk for you.
Sass and Less are CSS preprocessors that add features like variables, nesting, mixins, and inheritance to regular CSS. Sass was designed by Hampton Catlin and developed using SassScript, while Less was designed by Alexis Sellier and allows real-time compilation via Less.js. Both preprocessors provide mechanisms for variables, nesting, mixins, and more to make writing CSS more efficient.
SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) is a preprocessor scripting language that extends CSS by adding features like variables, nested rules, mixins, and functions. It allows for more efficient, organized, and reusable CSS code. SASS files are compiled into normal CSS files. SASS offers features like variables, nesting, mixins, inheritance, calculations, and conditions that make CSS more powerful, organized, and maintainable. SASS files use the extensions .sass or .scss and are compiled into regular .css files using a CSS preprocessor.
- libSass is a C/C++ implementation of Sass that compiles Sass much faster than the Ruby implementation. It allows Sass to be used by more developers and integrated with JavaScript build tools.
- Eyeglass is a Node.js module that allows Sass modules to be distributed through npm and imported into Sass files. It provides file system access and tools for defining Sass functions in JavaScript.
- Eyeglass aims to recreate popular Compass features like sprites and make them compatible with libSass and distributed through npm modules. This will provide an ecosystem for shared Sass code and assets without relying on Ruby.
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.
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.

Sass is a meta-language that extends CSS by adding features like nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It allows for more modular and maintainable CSS code. Sass code is translated to standard CSS using a command line tool or web framework plugin. Some benefits of Sass include reducing redundant code through variables and mixins, and creating more scalable and maintainable style sheets through features like nesting and imports. Sass supports both .sass and .scss syntax and files can be compiled to CSS using the sass or compass command line tools.
Less is a CSS pre-processor, meaning that it extends the CSS language, adding features that allow variables, mixins, functions and many other techniques that allow you to make CSS that is more maintainable, themeable and extendable.

“YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON WEB CONTENT, to enter the web area, press Control-Option-Shift-Down Arrow.” — If that sounds foreign to you… Congratulations! You’ve got a whole new world of accessibility to discover! These issues are often invisible to product designers and developers alike, but they don’t have to be.
At Slack, we made a few mistakes in the past, but have since learned to bake in accessibility early on in our development process. We’ve discovered that building a product that’s accessible for everyone has resulted in an improved experience for all. We'll share how we failed, so you don't have to.
Let’s break down some of the gotchas and hiccups we faced along the way to overcome any biases we might have in building our JavaScript products. Starting from scratch? Don’t worry, we’ll cover practical steps to consider from deciding on initial component architecture to testing your final product with aXe. All with plenty of horror stories along the way.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
3. Sass makes CSS fun again.
Sass is CSS, plus nested rules,
variables, mixins, and more,
all in a concise, readable syntax.
— Hampton Catlin
Originally wrote Sass
4. The trouble with CSS.
- Super long, cluttered files.
- Lots of repetitive code.
- Vendor prefixes.
- Difficult to maintain.
- Messy!
22. SASS
CSS
Functions
- Logic! Just like real
programmers use.
< > <= => != ==
- Bonus, you can have
conditional or
looped CSS.
if(), @if, @for,
@while, @each
25. This seems like a lot...
- Where do I even begin?
- How do I keep all this organized?
- I have to use TERMINAL..?!
- Never mind, I’m switching back to
print design.
26. Don’t worry!
- You can refactor over time.
- Use partials and @import to
organize your Sass files.
- Tons of frameworks exist!
- Not to mention plenty of compiler GUIs.
27. Partials
- A file with CSS or Sass. Starts with _ and ends with .scss
- These can be @import’ed into one main SCSS file.
_header.scss
_footer.scss
_body.scss style.scss style.css
