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.

Bios:
Joel Oliveira works as the lead developer and technologist for the
lean and nimble Charlestown-based agency called The 47th. 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 and GitHub as
jayroh.

Adam Darowski is a husband, daddy of three young children, and a web
developer for Cambridge-based PatientsLikeMe. When not juggling
children or pumping his fist after writing a new Sass mixin at the day
job, he creates sabermetric-inspired baseball visualizations with
Sass. Adam goes by adarowski on Twitter and GitHub.
