Sass is an extension of CSS that adds</span><br><span>basic features CSS is sorely missing (like variables and nesting). But</span><br><span>Sass kicks things to a new level with mixins (flexible, re-usable</span><br><span>blocks of CSS) and advanced selector inheritance. Simply put, Sass</span><br><span>makes CSS authoring fun again.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Bios:</span><br><span>Joel Oliveira works as the lead developer and technologist for the</span><br><span>lean and nimble Charlestown-based agency called The 47th. Besides the</span><br><span>Internet, technology and evangelizing the powers of Sass, what wakes</span><br><span>him up in the morning ready to conquer the day are his two English</span><br><span>bulldogs and his wife Sara — both literally and figuratively. When</span><br><span>he’s not working or tinkering on his own open source code Joel enjoys</span><br><span>film, strong Belgian beer, going to the gym and science fiction</span><br><span>novels. On the web, you can find Joel on both Twitter and GitHub as</span><br><span>jayroh.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Adam Darowski is a husband, daddy of three young children, and a web</span><br><span>developer for Cambridge-based PatientsLikeMe. When not juggling</span><br><span>children or pumping his fist after writing a new Sass mixin at the day</span><br><span>job, he creates sabermetric-inspired baseball visualizations with</span><br><span>Sass. Adam goes by adarowski on Twitter and GitHub.</span><br><span></span><br><span>-------------</span><br><span>To unsubscribe from this list, visit <a href="http://www.abcd.harvard.edu/cgi/ABCDdb.pub?Op=Edit">http://www.abcd.harvard.edu/cgi/ABCDdb.pub?Op=Edit</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div><div><span></span></div></body></html>
