Gain insights into Sass for CSS, exploring nesting, variables, mixins, and more. Discover methods to structure projects and write dynamic, reusable styles for advanced frontend development.

SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) is a scripting language known as a CSS preprocessor. CSS preprocessors are compiled into CSS and by doing so, extend the default capabilities of CSS.

Sass makes authoring stylesheets faster, easier, and more flexible. It’s a welcome helper in the world of web design, because anyone that’s created a website knows that CSS is hard.

In this course, you will learn how to use nesting, variables, mixins, partials, functions and more to write dynamic and reusable styles of code. You’ll also learn the various methods to structure your projects and bring organization to your stylesheets.

By the end of this course, you’ll have advanced knowledge of SASS. You’ll be able to migrate an existing CSS codebase, as well as set up an entire project (and build process) from scratch.
