Let me start by saying that I am not a developer. Sure, I can write some pretty solid HTML and CSS, but beyond that I defer to our great team of developers. So when I first heard about the right side of my brain freaked out. While the idea of Syntactially Awesome Stylesheets sounds pretty cool, I was afraid that Sass was going to make writing CSS more like programming Ruby, PHP, or Javascript. If you've been scared away from using Sass for the same reason, I'm here to tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth. Sass actually gives us some really powerful ways of writing CSS more efficiently.
If you're looking for a tutorial on getting started with Sass, this isn't it. You can find everything that you need to get rolling on the official This post is also less technical and more about my experience, some lessons learned, and a few tips from an actual project. I'll be referring exclusively to Sass 3, the latest syntax that is also known as SCSS. This new syntax uses semicolons and brackets to specify blocks of code, so any standard CSS file is already a valid Sass file. (You're feeling better already, aren't you?)
