Sassive Aggressive: Level Up Your CSS with Sass
As the line between designer and developer continues to blur, we need more from CSS than it can offer. Sass is an extension of CSS that adds basic features CSS is sorely missing (like variables and nesting). But Sass kicks things to a new level with mixins (flexible, re-usable blocks of CSS) and advanced selector inheritance. Simply put, Sass makes CSS authoring fun again.

Joel Oliveira<http://joeloliveira.com> works as the lead developer and technologist for the lean and nimble Charlestown-based agency called The 47th<http://the47th.com>. Besides the Internet, technology and evangelizing the powers of Sass, what wakes him up in the morning ready to conquer the day are his two English bulldogs and his wife Sara — both literally and figuratively. When he’s not working or tinkering on his own open source code Joel enjoys film, strong Belgian beer, going to the gym and science fiction novels. On the web, you can find Joel on both Twitter<http://twitter.com/jayroh> and GitHub<https://github.com/jayroh> as jayroh.

Adam Darowski<http://darowski.com/> is a husband, daddy of three young children, and a web developer for Cambridge-based PatientsLikeMe<http://patientslikeme.com/>. When not juggling children or pumping his fist after writing a new Sass mixin at the day job, he creates sabermetric-inspired baseball visualizations<http://darowski.com/hall-of-wwar> with Sass. Adam goes by adarowski on Twitter<http://twitter.com/adarowski> and GitHub<https://github.com/adarowski>.
