Learn SASS to create dynamic, reusable styles and efficiently manage and migrate CSS projects.

Web Page Styling—CSS

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 who’s created a website knows that CSS is hard. In this module, we’ll learn how to use nesting, variables, mixins, partials, functions, and more to write dynamic and reusable styles of code. We’ll also learn the various methods to structure our projects and bring organization to our stylesheets. By the end of this module, we’ll have advanced knowledge of SASS. We’ll be able to migrate an existing CSS codebase, as well as set up an entire project (and build process) from scratch.

Sass for CSS: Advanced Front-End Development

So far, you’ve learned what Sass is, how to install and run it on a local server, and we’ve looked at many of the features that no-doubt make it an extremely useful addition to your front-end skill set!


Using SASS, we write much cleaner code, reduce repetition by reusing code, organize our projects much more effectively and even build programmatic logic into our stylesheets. 

SASS makes the maintenance of CSS a much easier task and actually saves us — as developers — a lot of time!

In the next chapter, we'll be looking at how we can go about structuring our SASS projects!

Here is a brief summary of what we've covered so far before we move on to the next section!
