Topic: Smarter Styling With Sass

The simplicity of CSS is one of it’s greatest strengths, but sometimes you want more elegant solutions. That’s where Sass comes in. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. I’ll show you how Sass can help you write better, more bullet resistant, and easier to maintain style sheets. I’ll also share how Sass has helped me solve real world challenges such as creating responsive layouts.
