This class will be taught over 2 nights running Wed and Thurs 7-9pm both days.This class is $50.00; the cost covers both days of courses.
This class is intended for students with a solid foundational understanding of CSS. This workshop will be a comprehensive introduction to Sass, a.k.a. everyone's favorite CSS pre-processor!
Vanilla CSS is a fairly simple language, can do some pretty powerful things, but after a while... well, it can become rather tedious to work with.
Enter Sass: Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets. Sass is a CSS meta-language and precompiler that makes the prettification of your website a breeze by adding invaluable features of more traditional programming languages.
In this class, we'll jump right in to the Sass workflow and cover all the key game changers - nesting, variables, mix-ins, inheritance, and directives. We'll also cover some of the gotchas, tools and extensions, and tips on organization and coding standards.
Class Schedule:
1. Students should be familiar and comfortable working with HTML and CSS (such as GDIs Intro to HTML/CSS and Intermediate HTML/CSS class or equivalent training).
