With Brian Hoke in the Designer track
I’ve used Sass, the CSS preprocessor, more and more lately in my work, particularly after authoring an online course on the topic. My presentation would highlight the benefits of using Sass, particularly with WordPress: code organization and reuse, leveraging the power of outside libraries, more-efficient update and redesigns in the future, and more.
My talk would definitely be aimed at coders, but not at the highest technical level. I’d present code examples and highlight both the benefits of effective use of Sass and some pitfalls of using it poorly.
Learning outcomes
- for those who don’t know already, discover Sass, the CSS preprocessor library
- see how Sass can benefit your work: more efficient CSS authoring/maintenance, more robust CSS features
- explore Sass libraries: save time and jumpstart projects with powerful mixin libraries
- avoid mistakes: contrast the benefits of a thoughtful, well-planned use of Sass with a poor use of the tool
