Let’s get going. Here’s a quick run-down of what we’ll be going through in the Basics section:
We’ll start by looking at how to install Sass in Task 1, Installing Sass, then we’ll look at how to convert a Sass file to a CSS file in Task 2, Compiling Sass into CSS.
Check out the next task for how to work with Sass in Task 3, Using Sass with Rails.
If you’re not familiar with the command line, we’ll look at a great Sass interface in Task 4, Avoiding the Command Line: Using Scout.
We’ll look at how to do comments in Sass in Task 5, Commenting.
Then we’re going to look at the idea of scoping and how this is much simpler in Sass. Scoping is introduced in Task 6, Selector Scoping; we expand upon it in Task 7, Going Further with Advanced Scoping.
Learning how to change the exact CSS produced from your style sheets is covered in Task 8, Altering the CSS Output.
Then we’ll move on to variables in Task 9, Defining Variables.
We’ll put the skills we learned about variables to use in Task 10, Calculating a Layout, and Task 11, Creating Themes with Advanced Colors.
Next we’ll look at how importing can keep your style sheets cleaner and more semantic in Task 12, Importing.
In the last tasks, we’ll look at a couple of ways you can use importing in Task 13, Building a Font Family Library, and Task 14, Resetting CSS.
