This book shows you how to handle CSS complexity with Sass, the super-powerful CSS preprocess, and its sister project Compass. You'll learn how Sass's richer syntax combines the easy-to-learn aspects of CSS with intuitive extensions to the language that can reduce complexity, verbosity and redundancy.

CSS can be verbose, repetitive, and at times complex. The best "code re-use" with CSS is often just copy-paste, and new requirements like vendor prefixes and responsive web design are straining designers ability to cope with CSS's limitations. This book shows you how to handle CSS' complexity with Sass, the super-powerful CSS preprocess, and its sister project Compass. You'll learn how Sass's richer syntax combines the easy-to-learn aspects of CSS with intuitive extensions to the language that can reduce complexity, verbosity and redundancy. With Sass and Compass, writing CSS becomes much easier and way more fun, allowing you to explore and tackle more interesting design challenges.

John Albin Wilkins has been a web developer since the Paleolithic Era. In early 1993, he was introduced to NCSA Mosaic, the first graphical web browser, and spent a few hours browsing the entire web (which only consisted of NCSA's and CERN's websites). He was unimpressed. Nonetheless, he had nothing better to do and started building websites. Since then, John embraced the open culture of the web and started sharing his expertise. John has given talks in four continents, speaking on topics like information architecture, CSS, Sass/Compass, mobile, and responsive design. He is also a prolific sharer of free code. Incorporating a CSS/Sass framework to style websites built with the Drupal CMS, his Zen project has been downloaded nearly a million times. Recently, John developed the "container-relative floats" technique that now powers responsive layout tools like Gridset.app, Singularity, Drupal 8, and Zen Grids. John currently lives with his wife and kids on the island of Taiwan, where they occasionally play with Lemurs
